What do you like least?

"Everything else. Professors are rude, grade poorly, unprofessional at times, and most do not care about their students. Their transition to online learning was laughable. Students routinely submit concerns to their professors just to be yelled at further. Going to school here is much like prison—you get absolutely no say in your education and spend more time arguing with professors than actually learning material" | Report Response
