Oh U of L, how I loathe, the. Let me count the ways:

I spent two years paying for University requirements that were pointless to my major, and insulting to my intellect;

75% of my tuition money was spent on re-plating the gold on the chandeliers in the dorm rooms of star athletes instead of on my education;

Since I'm not part of a fraternity or a major athlete, social life seems to be non-existent because I'm not willing to drink to the point of inebriation in exchange for social acceptance;

The classrooms I study in are in dilapidated buildings, although the University continuously upgrades athletics facilities;

And despite all of this, the University continues to turn its back on the regular students and gouge them for more money instead of helping them.

In 1997, U of L announced that it was working toward having a premier athletic program. Since then, education quality has been the same, although tuition has skyrocketed. As you walk around campus, you will notice that average classrooms meant to cater to students are antiquated, and dorms continue to crumble. But when you look at the athletics offices, you see where your tuition money is really going: A-class equipment; climate-controlled offices and dorms; daily maid services; etc. For everyone else, you're just a cash cow.

If my parents hadn't graduated from here and pressured me into coming here, I would have never attended this slum. You're a walking dollar-sign to this university, not a student or even a person. If you're not a star athlete, don't even bother looking at this place. You'll spend less money and get a better education at any regular community college than coming here.
