She cares more about Educational Quality than the average student.
Date: Feb 13 2010
Major: (This Major's Salary over time)
Hate: Football. Way too big; impossible to get recommendations, make friends, get one-on-one attention from professors. Bureaucracy; everything is paperwork, and sending you to the right desk. No parking. No campus dorms available for freshmen, possible not to live on campus your whole time there. Must join greek life to make friends. Lots of partying and alcohol. Pervasive attitude of anti-intellectualism; making the grade, busywork, getting the standard job in accounting or whatever, is the focus of the entire student body and most professors. Professors are incredibly condescending, make TAs teach everything, and only care about research. They do everything but come out and say that you're just paying their bills as an undergrad. Really inadequate student mental health services. Don't accept VISA for some bizarre reason, making paying them a huge pain. Hard to get into any classes you want. REALLY hard. Had really, really terrible roommates; drunks who never went to class, snobs, partiers. Love: The turtle pond. The campus. The funky downtown Austin vibe. Some rare truly, truly excellent and brilliant professors with engaging teaching styles. The shuttle system.
