Universities are a breeding ground for laziness and degeneracy but really you just have to get it past yourself and not let something so immaterial bother you. Some effort in your studies along with the comfort that 54-55% of graduates will end up in low-skilled work (mostly those you probably don't like) should get you through.
More than likely that the psychology student with nose piercings and a Corbyn t-shirt will turn his part-time coffee shop job to full-time after graduating. Society balances itself out.
I agree that university culture causes left-wing tripe around the country and perpetuating 'the Offended' as a full-time career or protesters and Gruniad freelancers, but in reality this blame does not lie on our generation per se, but on two sources:
A) Lecturers, who have increasingly taken on left-wing views since the 90s as fewer and fewer have ever worked outside of the academia, are spreading their bs
B) Successive governments since Blair and Clinton who have made life for young people in this country and the one across the pond excessively difficult through the pursuance of growth at the expense of its quality.
Tuition fees are fine in principle. An uncontrolled housing market is okay too.
An uncontrolled housing market and skyrocketing tuition fees together are incompatible however, and those two (or at least the combination of the two) is what is pulling up the Labour vote to 80-90% among the 18-24 age group and a firm majority right up to 40.
I do not share any values of Labour, but I still vote for it. My life is made much harder by the status quo than solutions to my problems alongside ******** ideas. I'd rather have my debt cleared and this country fall to Venezuelan living standards so I can emigrate debt-free with a degree than be stuck here forever paying rent to a bloated landlord until I drop dead.
You'll note that in countries where the housing system isn't broke, like Germany, and in countries where the tuition system works (low or non-existent fees, no grade inflation as fewer people go to university) like France, the young are far less likely to engage in far-left politics.
In countries where the housing system is near perfect and educational opportunities for the young are brilliant, like in the Czech Republic and Austria, there absolutely isn't any kind of voter gap based on age whatsoever.
In fact some countries seem to take a horseshoe, as this description can be applied to Poland and to a lesser extent Turkey as well, and in both of these countries the young tend to be more right-wing than the average person. This is most pronounced in Poland where the core base for a far-right libertarian party who want to eliminate the safety net and limit government spending to 10% of GDP is the 20 year old voter.
It goes back to the principles of F.D. Roosevelt in an age of extremism - the best weapon against radicalism, be it communism or fascism, is the success of capitalism. Capitalism is anything but proving itself to be the optimal choice at the moment for the majority of voters. I highly doubt that the Conservatives will continue to govern this country beyond 2022 unless they pull another early election or they sort out the issues mentioned.
There's also the gender gap aside from the age gap, and this too stems from universities and the media.
In 2005 the gender gap between Males and Females was non-existent, apart from a point gain for Lib Dems and a point loss for Greens when it came to women.
In 2017, the gender gap between Males and Females was wide enough to completely overturn the result. Had only females voted, Labour would be leading the country in a hung parliament (43% Lab, 43% Tory). Had only Males voted, the Conservatives would be governing with the largest majority they in over 90 years - before WW1. Seems like another social balance - each time the media cause women to turn more progressive, men naturally become more regressive. Dangerous. But fun for the future.
