Someone posted on Reddit that they got suspended for walking down the hallway and getting punched unprovoked, so I am giving a one star review.

lol just saw a reddit post detailing that a student was suspended because someone knocked the books out of their hands, and when they bent down to pick them up, they got punched in the face. Apparently you were suspended if you were involved in a fight disregarding any context. :/
