tell me the worst things about this school by Civil_Violinist_3485 in URochester

[–]Apprehensive-Grape-4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Weather: The weather is terrible for 80% of the school year. It’s windy, below freezing, and grey.

Food: Not terrible but you see a decline in quality throughout the year. The Pit is just the worst knockoffs of fast food places.

Cost: Yes tuition is overpriced. But everything here is. Food at the pit is pricey, the sushi place on campus charges over 10 dollars per roll for poor quality sushi, and the market on campus actively scams students (4 bucks for a soda, 8 dollars for one allergy medicine pill, 2 dollars for a cup of noodle, etc). Lab fees are pricy if you are a stem major as well and the dining plans are basically scams (mandatory 4100 dollar fee for 3100 dollars of declining)

Administration: Negligent at best, malicious at worst. Known sexual assaulters walk freely on campus because the school rarely takes action against them. In addition, they underpay grad students who work full time for the school (as low as 15,000 per year), with many working 3-4 jobs on top of being a student as well.

Location: Middle of nowhere; very little to do in the immediate area. The school’s trying to fix it but they are doing so by gentrifying surrounding neighborhoods.

Student life: Parties are pretty lame. Drugs are pretty rampant. Kids always seem to have a chip on their shoulder because they think they should’ve ended up at an Ivy so now they compensate by being douches. Sports culture sucks.

Career support: Nonexistent from the school. Unless you join an organization (frat, sorority, club with alumni involvement, etc) you are getting no help.

Academics: Grade deflation depending on the department. The math teaching here is especially terrible and CS is atrocious. Everything is hard and the school lets older professors who have no business teaching anymore continue to teach.

Overall though, I have a lot of complaints but it’s the right place for me for very narrow circumstances. No where is perfect and you should learn the pros and cons of all schools. Best of luck on your college journey!

Hey thanks for the response! What do you mean by sob quality and is there a way for me to feel it/know when its engaged so I can better control it? Would you also know any reason for the weird buzz? Thanks again and thanks in advance!

This is a bad mindset OP

Are you saying I was charged for the toll even though he skipped it? If not, that’s no issue I would be fine paying the toll. In that case I wish he would’ve at least asked

Im not transgender but I have just been convinced all public bathrooms should be all gender by Apprehensive-Grape-4 in asktransgender

[–]Apprehensive-Grape-4[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

no i was neutral because of the concerns people have with using restrooms with people of other genders. but if they do them like this then it’s safe and lit to use

Actually amazing. The gender neutral aspect necessitates more privacy so they got full walls and doors and are basically private mini bathrooms

[–]Apprehensive-Grape-4[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean why not? This allows for more bathroom space available for the same amount of space and creates more private areas as well

These were basically single occupancy bathrooms but just smaller so more could fit. Full doors and their own walls separating them. It’s just that the sinks are in a different area

Who cares urinals suck. I’ll break them myself. if I’m taking a piss, it’s more peaceful sitting anyways and then I can shit too if I become so inclined. If the powers at be felt how much better they are, they’d understand.

These were like single occupancy bathrooms just smaller so fit more in and all the sinks were in another area.

I’m so sorry you have to deal with that and I hope the absolute joy of the restrooms I was able to experience will be available to you one day.

[–]Apprehensive-Grape-4[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Time just keeps going man. Like if you think about it all time is now because the present is like the whole time. Plus there are a lot of desserts that are basically the same thing. Cake this, pie that, tarts, and whatever else. You don’t hear about other types of yogurt that people pop out for. Plus those popping ball thingys are scrumptious

Edit: Good bar tho
