i mean its alright, they're really trying to make sure you are prepared for a future career, other than that everything is mid, the people are worse, lowkey some mean and weird people here, i assure you some of these students will see the inside of a jail cell within a decade. cant wait to get out of here and have the freedom to hangout with friends full-time.
