Unfortunately, a lot of universities, especially in the US, are known as “party schools,” which may be the reason why some people are there when they should not be.
Thankfully, I have the privilege to go to a university where everyone takes their academics seriously.
It is a community college where most people are just trying to transfer once they finish their core classes :/ It's a lot cheaper, and I didn't wanna spend more money just for core classes that I won't use in my career. At least it is online, so I can learn the material at my own pace.. Plus since many of my classmates don't try, I look good by comparison which helps my qualitative grades. I can't wait to transfer to a better university I'm glad you are enjoying yours!
