    Haha I go to the "party" state school bc it's a lot less stressful than the "good" state school here. The one that's "good" here does have some prestige but all the classes are basically designed to be weed out after weed out (especially in CS, which is what I do) and incredibly high stress for no reason. The reason I chose not to go there was bc of the rate of depression and other mental health issues.

    I feel like I get a much better education than my friends who go to the good school bc my professors try and teach, not find who already knows the material and weed everyone else out. The downside is I'm going to have to work much, much harder to find internships and make connections and network so that I can get a job bc the tech world is kinda brutal.

    Oh hey speaking of networking if any of you are in tech and have any sway over internships or really can help in any way I would really appreciate it, get more commies in tech y'know?

        at my Uni there a few notorious "weeder" classes in the CS department to do that. Worst thing is that you'd be in your 2nd year when you reach the weeder classes

      Do you live in a northern midwestern state by any chance?

      These fucking STEM departments at these 'good' public universities should be fucking outlawed. Every minute, moment, and semester is meant to weed out the students and grind the remaining brains into a fine paste that is content with just passing courses and making you unemployable in the job market with a shitass gpa. It's not just the first two years, it's every course that is out to absolutely destroy you and your future.

      If you really want to study CS or engineering, go to the shittiest school with the best reputation in the job market, kids coming out of these public units are at such a big disadvantage compared to their peers who go to smaller private schools and have vastly inflated gaps.
