How do people bother going to universities ranked lower than the top 30 in the world?

I go to one in my hometown ranked between 100 and 200 so I can lie to myself and say "at least I have no debt, I could've made sometihng of myself" but I know that I dun goofed and missed any chance of being any sort of intellectual.

They're places filled with mindless normies. I doubt anyone even cares about anyhting other than normie stuff like dat rad party last night and dat rad upcoming party and who got slightly more drunk than usual. And let's not forget their typical wageslave jobs they unironically look forward to, which they think is the reason that uni was invented.

I just see the huge amount of people the huge buildings and think that they're monuments to mediocrity, at best, and tributes to normie delusion at worst. It's like normie delusion, anti-intellectualism, and entitlement flows through these institutions and erodes all academic standards, intellectual discussion, self-examination, and when you enrol and look inside there's nothing there except "da yoonay lifestyl, bezt dayz of ye liyf m8, free jagerbombs at filthstitution dis friay" (said in the style of a Radio 1 advert).

>inb4 shoulda gone to the library

My uni library was a normie sanctuary. Much moreso than any of your university's libraries I'm sure. People go there just to socialise, have an excuse for facebook updates, and act like students at the front of the prospectus.

Sorry I can't hear you over the sound of your mediocrity.
Sounds like you have a bit of a superiority complex mate.
How about stepping down from that horse for a bit; that ozone is going to your head.
