I'm sure everyone here has seen the college rankings saying that the education here is supposed to be one of the best. I'd have to say that the resources for a great education are here, but no one has the time of day to take advantage of them. Plebes take 16 credit hours first semester but this is extremely misleading. Instead of studying for tests I often find myself memorizing menus and professional knowledge. They are taking professional knowledge way too seriously this year. We are quizzed daily by upper-class on the week's professional knowledge topic and daily rates (pointless pieces of information) which often entails a large amount of memorizing verbatim. The second-class don't ask about what you got on your chem test, they ask what tomorrow’s evening meal is. Knowing the information the second-class want you to know can make things easier for you, but it could mean failing a test. Things like etiquette training and mandatory pep rally's always seem to be planned during our few hours of study time making things worse. I have found that a lot of people manage to graduate by squeaking by. A mid's major doesn't mean that much here. History majors can go into naval aviation. So if you want a good education without all the bs go somewhere else. The only thing that is keeping me here are the friendships I've gained. I can't see myself putting up with this place that much longer.
