What are the good and bad parts of University?

Im just interested to know

The only bad times are deadlines, I once had 13,500 words in on one day, you will never do any of these essays in advance

Off top of my head first bad things that come to mind are:

1. Chance of getting an exam timetable that will completely f*** you and give you like no time to revise between exams

2. Being made to do group projects with people that are absolute morons / lazy c****s

Everything else about uni is great, and if you have the will to make it so, it will easily be the best time of your life.

For me:

Good: Independence and space from family and friends
Course content being stimulating
Feeling as though I'm getting my money's worth
Getting more prepared for other things like a postgrad degree and a long-term job

Bad: The amount of deadlines
Feeling as though I'm not getting my money's worth
Being away from people you like (family and friends) for a long time.

You'll never get your money's worth. University is essentially a cash injection to corporations (all the kids that have money to spend from student loans), and the source of salaries of academics. That's why university is so encouraged in contemporary UK academia.

TL;DR Uni (in its present form) exists to serve the pedagogical interests of academics and to provide benefits to corporations.

Thank you, I feel totally enlightened now. Gonna drop out soon

This is exactly the reason why kids are rushing off to university, and wasting 3 + years doing things they could do themselves or with a tutor in a shorter time period. And wasting money (loans will never 100% enable you to support yourself)

Food for thought. Look at Imperial's Mathematical Finance Msc and a typical Econ and Maths/ Mathematical Finance/ etc... degree and tell me if the difference in the quantity of content at Bsc and Msc justify the Bsc being at least 2 years longer.
