I Do Not Recommend

Whatever pissed me off or made me suffer lives here.

My University

Strongly Not Recommended -10000/10

An institution committed to outdated systems, inconsistent teaching, and wasting motivated students’ time with remarkable efficiency.

This university suffers from a chronic lack of structure. Large portions of the curriculum feel either outdated, irrelevant, or completely disconnected from the actual formation students signed up for. In many cases, there is no clear syllabus, no learning path, and no shared standard between professors.

Some professors do genuinely care and deserve respect, this is not about them, they are the exception. The majority operate with alarming unpredictability: doing whatever they feel like during class, drifting off-topic, or barely teaching at all, then demanding the impossible during exams as if students were supposed to read their minds.

One professor once refused to let me leave the classroom to use the restroom during a normal lecture. Not an exam. Not a controlled setting. Just a power move for the sake of control. Being a person with a medical condition who actually needed to use the restroom, moments like that stick with you, not because they matter academically, but because they reveal how little some people respect the students in front of them.

Another professor (that i won't be naming for legal reasons) routinely used class time to talk about religion, personal political opinions, life, family and her own journey as a so-called philanthropist. None of it was related to the course. I didn’t enroll to attend personal monologues or political commentary, I went there to learn the subject I was being graded on.

Here's the most recent retarded experience; final projects were assigned on a FIFO basis. First applied, First assigned>. No regard for grades, effort, or performance. I was at the top of the class, missed a single announcement, and ended up without a project, forced to dig through whatever scraps were left unchosen. Which made me question why the fuck was I even trying to get better grades? I feel sorry for any project i delayed, any hours of sleep i did not add, any lines of text i wrote...

Five years went into this. Five years that could have been spent building real skills, shipping real work, and moving forward. Instead, most of the growth happened despite the institution, not because of it.

if you're affiliated with any of the above, i hope you suffer like you made me suffer.
