All this dorm talk made me go look at my old dorm's page on our website, and I had another laugh. Some real aspect-ratio stretching deception going on here. The picture on the left is the actual cube sized sink for a double occupancy room, and the picture on the right is what housing wants you to think it looks like.

Simply Simon posted:Classes in school were all starting at 8:00 AM for every pupil every day from first to thirteenth grade in Germany, then for my Chemistry education at University every course was mandatory and starting at 8:00 AM, too. As I moved from country (during my school days) to the city (for Uni), I could actually sleep an hour longer in Uni. I have no idea how some of you might have survived in our socialist wasteland of Europe. Nah, schools start at 8 AM here too. My little public high school had the bell ringing at 7:45. So 8 AM classes really shouldn't be a problem. That's really just how the working world works, even if your job starts later, you've got to factor in commute times. That is of course unless you want to work night shifts! Which is a totally valid career goal. Unfortunately the education system isn't really built around preparing people to work night shifts. I think college culture in general doesn't make morning classes appealing even if you can get up early. If you live in student housing nobody gets quiet until 1 AM or later, and then your roommate might not be an early person, so you can't really get up and at them in the morning. My roommate and I had this problem one semester, and it really was hard to wake up and feel energized when I had to get ready in complete darkness and tip toe everywhere. My thesis research involves meeting with my undergrad participants every morning before they start their day to calibrate the devices they're wearing. Unfortunately, MY internship starts at 7:30 and it's an hour away from my campus. I told my advisor that we're going to have to figure something else out because there are basically no undergrads alive who are going to willingly participate in something that requires them to be somewhere at 6 AM.

Literally every person I know who has upstairs neighbors complains that they are soooooo loud. It's just a consequence of cheap apartments with poor insulation. You're going to hear every footstep. My dog weighs 15 pounds and the little old lady downstairs told me she can hear her walking around during the day when I'm gone.  Although I did once have upstairs neighbors who had sex on their squeaky bed every night at the same time. It was almost comforting, to be studying and hear it start up and be like, ah, is it 9:30 already? College. I can't wait to live in either a single unit or a downstairs unit so I can workout again. It sucks to not be able to do any kind of impact cardio.

canyoneer posted:I successfully escaped a toxic group once. Over the course of 2 weeks, the other 5 people in the group literally did nothing for this project. There were two big deliverables, including an experiment design halfway through. I did everything for the experiment design, sending emails over and over again asking the other idiots to do stuff (which they never did). I also escaped a toxic group, but it was bad for the opposite reason: the girl who had asserted herself as the leader of the group had completely misunderstood the actual requirements of the project and directed the other group members to complete all this work that didn't fit the assignment. We were supposed to do a big presentation about a different culture and I defaulted into a group with the nearest people to me. We picked Deaf culture. Well, I check in with them at the next class about what direction we're going, and whether I could do a portion on Deaf media and theatre. The girl gives me this condescending look and says, "Oh, well, we've already done most of the work, so I'm not even sure what you could do…" They all kind of exchanged glances like I was some clueless freeloader, but no one had even contacted me about what portion I was supposed to complete… I went and spoke to the professor about peacing out of the group because I didn't feel comfortable letting my grade ride on a project that I had basically no involvement in. She thought I was crazy to do this huge project on my own but honestly it wasn't that big of a deal and much simpler to just do it alone. It turned out that I was right to trust my instincts because their entire presentation was on the physiology of deafness and hearing loss (didn't mention the culture surrounding ASL or Deaf communities at all, which is  ) and the professor told them that she would need to meet with them separately because she couldn't even grade them on the rubric for the project. The ASL interpreter for the class actually got up and said a bit about her experience with Deaf culture because the presentation was so misguided. So that experience was pretty validating. It ended up biting me in the rear end though, because later on in grad school I waited too long to try and approach people to group up for our semester long project (thanks, social anxiety!) and by the time I did people had already divided up work. I though, "Oh well, I'll just do it solo!" and it ended up being one of the worst experiences of my life, haha. Pulled the most stressed-filled all nighter of my life, drank so much caffeine that I was hallucinating that someone had broken into my apartment and was behind me at all times, vomited from a panic attack, and then had to drive myself into town in the morning to complete the final for the same class! It was awful. Don't take on an entire semester's group project on your own and then wait until the last minute to do it! Ahh, life lessons.

Cythereal posted:If you go to college in the South/Southwest/Midwest, you are going to get people like that. At the university I work at, we get an old guy with a microphone screaming at people about how they're going to hell every two or three weeks, and people putting up big, graphic signs of what are supposedly aborted fetuses. They're not. drat, I guess I just picked the only college in the deep South to not have this happen. Granted I went to a godless liberal arts school, so… we never really had protestors of any kind, the only religious people were two old men who passed out pocket bibles and the various student groups.
