I hate it here.  I'm very jaded.  None of my grades / work reflects anything about my knowlegde or ability as an engineer.  Let me put it this way: if I was an employerr, just a mere diploma from vt would ensure I would hire you.  However, I would also pay people to go other places.  I constastantly have to put up with stupid random crap by administrators faculty and students alike.

I have had ra's whos mission in life is to play mind games with me, I've had professors in 3000 level ece courses still try to weed me /others out.  If I go to office hours I want to know why the ta who graded the test took off more points than the problems was worth or dock me but not my friend or get help on homework, not the “ maybe engineering isn't right for you speech"

the first 1.5-2 years here were spent trying to avoid/survive weed out classes.  the quality of hte mat classes here is very low.  ditto for physics.  my physics teacher, after not doing jack shit the entire semsester, told my class of 250 to go fuck ourselves during the final exam.  he didn't like people pointing out the that on a 20 question final that you've been giveing for hte past 30 years it shouldn't be that hard to make sure one of the four answeres is the right one.

the parking here sucks.

I had to move my car 3 times in the past 2 days and not go anywhere becuase of the @#$@# football game, otherwise i'd getted towed and ticked again.

most of the dorms suck.  it's hard to get a good one.

every night during finals I had to get out of bed twice because someone pulled the fire alarm.  that happens alot.

the food is good but recently it's started going downhill

i could write a novel about my negative experiences here
