Why are there so many idiots at uni
I was having a good day today and then, bam, new class and get put into a group with dipsticks.
Loud boisterous guys shouting across the room at each other and some cow who kept speaking over me. The other 2 were nice, but they were foreign. One is smart and speaks good english and the other is very quiet/timid.
I've no idea how we're going to pass this team assignment.
A whole year of them

That is going to be the case in any scenario in any place in the world.
Just concentrate on yourself and your work, that's the most important thing.

Just don't bother going to class unless attendance counts towards your grades.
Great advice

There was a well known history professor who used to say to his students, well I'll paraphrase cos don't remember exact wording, but he used to say ''Those of you who want to excel I will not be seeing, but for the lazy people there are lectures'' That phrasing was very clunky but basically university is about reading and studying and discovering on your own. If you can't be bothered to do that then go to class
Deal with it, what uni is this if you dont mind me asking

This made me lol
Well i did group work with idiots too, I spent like 6 months with them and they never contributed to anything at all, out of 5 of us 3 of them did nothing (1 ended up getting kicked out, one failed the module, the other one scraped 42%). I told my lecturer (I mentioned it near the start and about 4 more times through out the projects) that they did nothing and they asked me to get together every bit of work I had contributed and said the same to the rest, they can tell whose work goes in to the project based on how its written and how well structured or unstructured it is (its pretty hard to fake it when its put together, and their are usually email logs of who sent what to who).
The moral is to tell the lecturer early on if you feel its not progressing enough, they will have words with everyone, if it still gets nowhere ask to be switched groups, they usually try to split up people who know each other too well as they prefer you to experience a range of different people (usually ones you would not have come across much, such as different cultures, people dressed differently to you, people who have different personalities etc).

pahOh no. What course/uni is this at. Perhaps things will calm down.
Give it some time, and an open mind. Stop being so judgemental. And maybe you have a point with the "kept trying to talk to me" thing, sometimes its not just the standard friendly, but from what you said how can you tell, just sounds like you're being rude about someone who's trying to be nice.
And re timid asian, be nice to them and they might be a little more confident and turn out really nice.
Maybe you're right and you have dipsticks, if so, I'm sorry that sucks =( let this experience make you stronger? You'll encounter this kind of frustrating situation in the future where there isnt a higher authority that can sort it out if it gets really bad... But for now, at least you do =)
