Yes, thank god I was told about this site and that I can rant about Roosevelt University, so everyone can know what a piece of shit this place is. Damn kids. This is a college not a fuckin hangout, so you music bums can play all day. Go join a fuckin band you brain dead losers and let real students like myself learn. I too, live at the University Center and the place seems nice on the outside but the people here are weird, gay, wannabes, and racist. There is nothing wrong with being gay, but damit, do they have to be so flamboyant. This University Center food sucks and their staff really are the lowest pieces of shit on the face of this dirty Earth. Damn assholes do not want to learn here. ITs music this Art this and that. damn I'm sick of these fake phony people who will in the end, become obedient slaves to their corporate masters. Damn fools, I'm glad I will be transferring out of this hell hole. To all of the mindless phony people at Roosevelt university I hope you crash and end up on the street asking me "hey buddy, you got a quarter." PHS, To the "RAG" on the 14 floor; Fuck you big fat scary looking bitch. You look like someone beat you with a sack of shit & clay, you ugly piece of soot.

The poster sent in several rants, however they should have all be included as
one rant. We picked one for posting.
DAmn class is a joke. College is the biggest clump of bullshit on the face of the earth. DAmn, the students are cocky, conceided, and suffer from vanity. Yikes! These assholes think that we are at yale or something. were at fucking Roosevelt University!! they try to act mature and smart but you can see right through their phony asses. they hate me cuz i'm real. they are not. They need to be led into a forest and shot. Soon, very soon, I will snap and the schhol and these people who are the lowest shits of society will pay. Fukin bitch from the ghetto is going to try to outclass me! please bitch, take your two bit education and suck some more dick to get through college.
I am so damn angry because of my fucking class. I have studied my ass off to do well in this class, but I am currently sitting at a fucking C+. I am usually a good student and have never ever gotten a C before. It pisses me off that there are these fucking dumbasses in my class, who just because they are luckier with their guesses on exams, have a higher grade than me. My whole med school career is in jeopardy because of this fucking class, and I cannot even express adequately just how frustrated I am. Every test, I study harder and longer, and every test, I get a fucking lower grade. What the fuck? I'll tell you what it is. It's the tests my professor writes. They are such bullshit. For one thing, they are not representative of the material covered in lecture. For another thing, the questions are worded in the most bullshit way ever invented. I don't know where this guy learned to speak English, but I don't think he's got it down yet. For another thing, our TA is the world's stupidest dumbass. He grades our exams, marking points off haphazardly, really with no regard to what our answers are. And for this... increased blood pressure and a whole lot of anger, I pay out 35G a year in tuition. BULLSHIT!
FUCK YOU, U OF A PARKING!! I got a $35 ticket for taking a parking space right outside the dorm because I obviously wasn't going to park in my regular parking space and walk home alone at 3 in the morning. Most parking spaces in front of the dorm let you park until 8 in the morning, so I made sure to be at the car before 8. But the one stupid space I picked said (in very small lettering, I might add) that you could only park 'till 6 in the morning. What's the fucking deal with that?! U of A parking needs a swift kick in the ass.
I currently attend a large, prestigious law school on the East Coast, and I am not happy with my being here. I love learning about law and all its many facets, but the institution that supposedly fosters its study is a complete joke. The professors all look impeccable on paper (top honors from Ivy League institutions, Supreme Court clerkships, etc.) but can’t teach their way out of a paper bag when it comes to the material.
The students are mostly stereotypical pampered, generic, white-bread bores who have been spoon-fed all their lives and told that they are the smartest people who have ever lived. There’s maybe a kid with a funny name or a falsetto voice sprinkled here and there for that ‘diversity’ that seems so crucial nowadays but even the minority students lack any real spark of uniqueness and are just there to make the numbers look good. Everyone is obsessed with status and afraid of dropping out of the mainstream. We have our own lockers and even a yearly prom -- appropriate, considering the level of maturity that pervades here.
I am angry because success in law school does not depend so much on analyzing legal issues from an objective, assertive position (like a real lawyer would do); it involves regurgitating the semester’s material in a way that aligns itself with your professor’s unknown thoughts and opinions on the subject as closely as possible. I am angry because for all its pretensions of promoting rational, incisive thought and empirical inquiry, nothing makes *sense* in law school!
They have pissed me off again! Bad enough that my useless education there sucked - I have given up on electrical engineering - Capitol used to call every fall to try and get MORE money from me. (They should give a freaking refund!) Now I am getting mailings from them - this, after telling them to shove off! Dang, I suppose if I mugger finds me with no cash I should write him a check - maybe once every six months? I'm too mad to call them - maybe if I ignore them they will go away?
COMPLETELY FUCKING BLOWS. first up, these assholes claim that a good 90-something percent of their students leave employed, & that their career office helps you find work. BULLSHIT. everytime i went there for help in finding a decent job, they'd stare at me blankly & didn't help me w/ shit. if they're so fucking helpful, they'd get off of their asses & do what they claim rather than rob me of $38000 in fucking student loan payments/tuition for FIVE FUCKING YEARS.
in the five years that i've been there, i've been robbed blind by their shithead policies, had my fucking car towed (& was NEVER reimbursed), had to go to rhode island of all places, another complete shithole, for a fucking internship (& NEVER GOT PAYED FOR BUSTING MY ASS FOR THREE MONTHS), was sexually harassed by another student, & wasted gas driving at least 40-50 miles from my house to school every damned day on classes that turned out to be cancelled for the day (when it was my only class for the whole day). don't even ask why i stayed there for five friggin years... i've come to the conclusion that i must be some kind of fucking masochist who was hard-up for a degree.
at the end of it all (last year), i not only left w/ a crappy grade point average (a friggin C), i was more unemployed than when i went in. i will NEVER recommend that "school" to anyone, & if any of my future children ever say that they want to go to that shithole, i'm going to adamantly put my foot & force them to pick another school that's a hell of a lot more reputable.
thanks for reading, have a nice day.

We never heard of this university and aren't able to validate the poster's
complaints. However it does sound like they might have a small customer
satisfaction problem. :)
I hate the thought of going to university. I loathe it really. They are a bunch of maggots who charge too much and provide too little. The classes are useless and only now are we beginning to reap the fruits. Females graduating with degrees in Feminism (Women's Studies) and want to get married so they can test their pet theories on their helpless husbands; brainless idiots who are graduating with business degrees so they can experiment with a multi-billion dollar company and hundreds of thousands of employees. God help us.
I am a fresh graduate of the George Washington University Law School , an institution currently ranked #20 in U.S. News and World Reports. I NAIVELY thought that with a few grand in savings, a decent scholarship (that covered 50% of my tuition), and a good amount of hard work and self-marketing, that I could pave my own way in the legal industry without too much debt and earning a modest salary ($55k+), what I considered reasonable for three years of post-graduate education.
Now, a couple months after grad and with the bar exam a week around the corner, I’m still unemployed, over $90k in debt, skimming listings on craigslist and monster.com for jobs that pay $10 an hour with no benefits. This is the situation for many of us (although lots have twice as much debt). We have no career we can possibly launch, and our looking for better-paying options in another line of work.
Meanwhile, about a third of my classmates are set to make $190,000 their first year out, with tons of benefits, foremost among them health insurance, 401ks, technology reimbursements, etc.
I have lots of bad things to say about my time at GW, but the gist of this particular rant is this: GW Law School is a panderer of the worst sort – career services, faculty, and to a large extent, the student body, will not give you a second look unless you are somehow top 35% and / or eligible to sit for the patent bar (typically, with a prestigious undergraduate degree in engineering or a hard science). These are typically the types whose salary figures weigh the median salary toward the front – very heavily. Very, VERY heavily.
The rest? They make anywhere from $35k-$50k starting out. IF they get a job. No, I didn’t forget to put a “1” in there.
Not too many people are going to be sympathetic, I guess, but GW has fudged these figures to the point where it seems suspiciously like tortuous misrepresentation – our dean stood up and told us at orientation, point-blank that the average (25th-75th percentile) student can expect $100k as a starting salary at graduation.
Pretty sneaky, especially considering that firms that hire people fresh out of law school at those rates are few and far between. However, it was always pitched to us that if we didn’t get “biglaw” (paying that magic $125k > $135k > $145k > $160k! base salary) that with the strength of our brand name, we could take a paycut and work at one of these mid-sized firms paying that amount for just a little less.
Basically, once the round of interviews were over and it became clear that I was not going to get snapped up by biglaw, faculty and our career office started to ignore me. They would not return my calls or emails, refused to discuss certain internships that I inquired about, and basically made me feel like I was all on my own. I guess I can understand this kind of half-assed treatment if it had been a third-party with no interest in my success, but this was a school, MY law school, and there wasn’t even a pretense of concern for my professional or academic development.
If you go to GW and end up outside of one of those aforementioned groups, the top-third or patent-bar eligible – (and you VERY likely will not know how marketable your tech degree / institution is until you start interviewing with firms after a year in school) you are in some serious trouble. I managed to keep my debt level down because I actually worked throughout all my time in law school, but now, since I fall outside one of those privileged classes, I face the dilemma of going back to my old field or working for a pittance or for free at some place that promises “valuable experience” that will pay off somewhere down the line with a much better job.
Well, no thanks, after TEN years of postsecondary education and 6+ years of work experience, my time is worth a LITTLE more than $20,000 a year (after being assessed around $38,000 a year in tuition, thank you very much!) and I have been lied to ENOUGH already.
I have just spent three years at City University London. DO NOT GO THERE. It is the most abhorrent excuse for an 'education' I could have recieved. I am newly qualified pediatric nurse and just completed my degree, all the university had to do was send off to the nursing and midwifery council that i had passed and i could be registered they just haven't bothered. I have a job I need to start very soon or I will lose it. I have £16.73 in the bank. I am therefore suing the university for loss of earnings, this is the only thing which stems my anger.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not study nursing at city university, its reputation is bollocks its a total shambles of a place with only incompetent wankers working behind their pathetic desks
i just failed me precalc exam and i dont know how to tell my mom. i know she is going to bitch at me and i dont want to tell her. i thought i knew the stuff but i didnt. im really pissed cause i got a 32% on it and thats fuckin terrible. i will be so much more pissed if i fail the semester. fuck this!
The teachers do nothing but count the number of words in your papers, for $1500 per online course I would expect more, something that will actually help you learn. They are not the least bit flexible on payments either, they have no compassion for anything but money, you will not be a person to them, you will be a number and a credit card. Do not waste your time with the University of Phoenix unless you want to bend over to "the man" and become just another number in their diploma mill.
because people either don't want to do anything and leave you to do all the work, they corner you into doing something you don't wanna do, or they either try to take over or try to cause a mutiny.
In Tv land, there are roles, highest is a producer, lowest is a runner. Now knowing my work load this semester I wanted to be a runner, not wanting to disadvantage my crew, but I was backed into the role of PRODUCER, yes they made me top dog, on a show I didn't like the concept of, or agree with. Now as it's uni, it's clearly pressed for time. Do they care? NO. They think I should bend backwards to suit them...sorry dumbwitts, you go TO UNI, you follow THEIR rules...I can't help it if you don't listen the first 50 times I remind you of things.
Unfortunately, not only was I backed into the role on a show I don't like the concept of, half the crew doesn't want to be there, they are trying to do as little as possible.
On top of that. One of the three directors is trying to throw a mutiny. Now I'm not a brainsurgeon, but if you wanted the position why not go for it to start with?! Why make ME do it when I didn't want it??? Not only have I been doing my job, and trying to make sure everyone else is at the very least doing their job. I'm getting a heap of flack for people not WANTING to do their job...hello YOU picked YOUR roles...I didn't, and I'm still doing way more than any of you. So don't even think about blaming me for YOUR laziness or incompetance. I don't wanna hear it. I have more than enough to do without you being a jackoff.
I work my ass off to pass my stupid program. I needed an 80% to pass and I got a 79! Honestly what the hell is that about?! I can't even continue with the semester and I still have to pay for the rest of my tuition!
Law School blows. For real. Whoever gave young impressionable me the idea that a legal career was the right route in life was a real a-hole. I love working 24-7 and paying to do so. Which means that I'm broke all the time. Yes you idiots, we're not all rich trust babies. I also don't have a fucking clue what I'm doing with life, so all you assholes who look at me and think that I think you're a loser without a clue only get that look because you don't have a clue that I don't have a clue. Get it? Finally, law school has no hot girls. And the ones who might be hot are only getting fatter as they learn more law. Being a law student doesn't help you get girls either. They know you're broke and feel self-conscious that you're smarter than them. Law school blows. Trust me.

Why not quit law school and go into something that is actually useful?
Engineering, medicine, science, you know. become a builder rather then a
destroyer which is all that lawyers are these days.
