[QUOTE="laoh, post: 269630, member: 1783"] I had a pretty miserable first 3 years at Tech. The last 2 were marginally better once I got rolling with IE classes. Tech does beat you down. Oh please, profs that care? Maybe in the minority. Most are there to do research and get tenure. I had an emag prof where he announced that the test we took had a class avg of 42. Yes, 42. And he boldly proclaimed, "no, I'm not going to curve b/c I have tenure and I don't give a sh_t". There was an IE prof in material handling that was just a d_ck. I'm 41 now and wouldn't you know, this 23 year old kid at my workplace had this same prof as the senior adviser and had a miserable time. You can say that profs are not out to weed students anymore or they care but bleh, what I remember most about Tech was that the shaft was real and reamed your arse and you know what, some profs are just a$$_oles. That's just who they are. And many of the profs and the students who are particularly smart can be really smartasses... they have the Nick Burns syndrome. They really do. I'm not gonna be one of those people that gloat about Tech like "the experiences there made me the man I am today". Well, my experiences at Tech, I was miserable most of the time... I got out and am doing somewhat well now but if I were to do it all over again, I'd choose a college that still has a major football program and also provides students a more fun, positive atmosphere. I kid you not, 17 years since graduating, I sometimes still have nightmares about the shaft. I'd dream that I missed a final or I never turned in any homework and I missed the drop day or something of that sort... and I know I'm not the only one that have nightmares about Tech b/c other alums have concurred. Well, the ramble went on way too long. But the fact that we have one prof who's here in this forum is in itself a miracle. [/QUOTE]
