'Students' - a 'cause' for depression?Seriously what is wrong with University students? Why do they all come across as ********s? You only have to look at them and you can see how arrogant and poorly behaved/educated as people they are.
I went to University when I was 19 (now 22). Dropped out after a year. I recently went on a night out at a student club and was reminded at just how much 'students' and 'student life' repulse me.
I want to make 1 point clear before I get all the bandwagon jumpers jump on my back. I don't care ... I couldn't give a flying **** if people want to drink/smoke/have sex etc. I don't really hold any gripes against people based solely upon that. Well not unless that paints the person as a whole.
Anyways what bugs me about students and the lifestyle is not so much the sex/drugs etc .. it's more how they lose complete and utter respect for both themself, others and society. This I find, is very prominent, whenever I am on University grounds. Just waiting in the queue at this club for about 30 minutes, I was surrounded by a bunch of total arsewipes. Like I said, it's not the drinking and so on. It's the manners or lack of it in their case, the lack of respect, the lack of morals, the lack of conscience, the lack of class. Listening in to conversations about sex toys in peoples' rooms and other nonsensical, shallow talk. Absolute garbage filling their minds. They made Liverpudlians look educated. I feel like when people go to Uni, they like to engage in total garbage and lose all respect for everything. I could point to so many examples but I don't know where to start.
Were people like this before Uni? I can't remember.
Of course, there is the fact that students are away from home for the first time etc. But to be honest, that is just not a good enough excuse. It's no excuse to be a complete ******** just because you're away from home. That just reflects badly on the person because it shows them for who they actually are.
University and the student base just breeds a really poisonous spirit. I don't know what it is .. can't quite put my finger on it. But I do know that when on university grounds I always feel a strong sense of there being a lack of integrity, and a complete lack of morals and class. I honestly feel quite sick and depressed when I am on University grounds. All these young immature kids, with no direction and little in the way of education from their parents.
Of course not EVERY University student is like this. You probably don't see the nice ones because they are outnumbered by the arsewipes. I have no doubt there are some wonderful people at University .... not that I can really recall any but, I have no doubt about this.
I'm in a dilemma about whether or not to return to Uni to study. I was so unhappy being there as even though I went out and put on a brave face, deep down I didn't connect with the 'crowd' whatsoever. Since being in the 'real world', I find that I'm back with normal people again. None of this immature, moralless culture shoved in my face 24/7. I just don't know if I could put up with that vibe for 3 years?! I'd have to be knocking back whisky first thing in the morning or something. It's a ****ing long time ... I'm actually amazed how most people seem to see it through.
Anyways please tell me there are some people out there who feel similar to me. I want to believe I'm normal, but the way society is going maybe I'm some mad lunatic like Anders Breivik and the students are the normal ones?Last edited by Skill; 06-06-2012 at 22:49. -

Re: 'Students' - a 'cause' for depression?Think that says enough for me. If you haven't noticed you're on 'The Student Room' - maybe not a good idea to attack students.(Original post by Skill)

Re: 'Students' - a 'cause' for depression?Maybe you spend too much time around the ********s. I dislike living in the hall I am in atm for reasons you described but I have found plenty of people not like that. I don't think its just students either, there are a lot of people just generally like that.

Re: 'Students' - a 'cause' for depression?Not much better but definitely better because they're not caught up in the Uni bubble. As I said earlier, leaving Uni made me realise how f***** student life is because everyone outside of uni seemed so much more rounded and grown up in comparison. It's as if being a student means you conform to a very degrading character and lifestyle.(Original post by Barden)
Nah that's just all young adults for you... stand outside any club on a friday night and you'll find the same... -

Re: 'Students' - a 'cause' for depression?I don't think it really matters. It wasn't a notorious posh university, or having a crowd as such. It was just a fairly mixed University.(Original post by AverageExcellence)

Re: 'Students' - a 'cause' for depression?Yeah okay there are some prats at uni but you always get them wherever you go/do in life. What about doing an Open University degree? minimum contact with the student species.....also another way to try & enjoy uni is.......get pissed!! It works!!! just don't go moaning on a student forum otherwise you'll never fit in!
