Okay so here's a summation of what the past two days have been like:

Classrooms:
Large lecture rooms filled with douchy frat guys who think they own the place, wear tank tops, and don't apply enough deodorant.
These guys stink, are obnoxious, litter, and get on my nerves.
Seats don't have enough cushion and two of my classes are nearly three hours.

Girls:
Snobby, annoying, slutty, stupid, etc.
They are pretty damn lazy, too, and don't believe that they are entitled to any work/effort.
For example, they don't push the doors open for themselves and squeeze through at the last second so the person behind them has to reopen the door completely.
Pretty inconsiderate, imo. Stop texting and walking and pay attention.

Foreigners:
They can't speak English well, have an accent, and I have to constantly translate their poor English whenever the professor has no idea what they are asking.
What's even more annoying is when they speak their native language to each other before class starts.

Campus:
Slow walkers and not enough room to get around them without bumping someone.
I can't ever find a bathroom and the campus map doesn't even have bathrooms listed

I don't really have anything good to say about my school.
Not much to say on my professors yet except that they are harder than the other professors teaching the same course.


Could you be any more of a pessimist. Yeah, the frat guys stink. They play sports, that's why there at school, to play sports. The sooner you accept that people have different goals for college and life in general, the sooner you might realize that these frat guys could help you stay semi-healthy, and they tend to throw really awesome parties. You might also pick up some social skills from them which you could then use to attract some of those girls who you feel fit to judge on the second day of college.

As for the foreigners, don't even complain unless you've tried to live in another country without speaking the language. At least they're trying, what are you doing? No one is asking you to translate for the professor either. I live in Guatemala right now, and it's incredibly difficult to speak any language with native proficiency if it's your second or third language. Attitudes like yours are the ones that breed negative images of English-speaking citizens. You'd be surprised at how willing most other countries (aside from the English speaking ones) are to teach foreigners their language.

In conclusion, college doesn't sound right for you. Then again people and social interaction don't sound right for you either.

as you move into upper year classes your classes willed be smaller, filled with more intelligent people

Campus:
Slow walkers and not enough room to get around them without bumping someone.
I can't ever find a bathroom and the campus map doesn't even have bathrooms listed

inquire if your course willl be belled to an average (you probably take the same exam so you will rape it) it might turn out to be better for you

The response I'd expect from someone with 140k posts on a gaming forum and no social skills. Enjoy your 4 long years with that attitude.

If you can't find people to hang out with and who will tolerate you in college, it's time to just give up on society in general. :(

I can guarantee they can speak your language much better than you can speak theirs so stop complaining.
