Is it the great thing it once was?
Personally having only just started, I can't speak really, except to voice my opinion.
In my opinion: Its not.
I've found my time here very underwelming.
1: Half the Goddamn tutors etc are foreign. I'm sorry but in a busy lecture hall, the last thing you want is someone who barely speaks English to try and hold the attention of the hall.
2: The work. It's really not the challenging (yes I know it gets harder), and I really can't see the relevance.
3: The people. Whilst i've got no real problem myself, having gotten in with a good bunch of people, there are so many foreign people here. Sorry if this sounds racist , but its disconcerting to see so many Chinese, African people etc, whose grasp on the language and involvement in the university is minimal.
Pointless rant I know, but I just can't see what is so great about university education. It has the feel of a system that used to be special, but is now about batch orders.
For the record i'm going to a decent university, not some awful place
What do you guys think?
