I wrote a 7 page essay on how much I hate SBU

Yeah that's right. I was so pissed off at the school I spent all day writing on how much I hate SBU. The research paper was quite subjective because I am gearing towards the bad things of the school, so don't expect to get both sides from me. But I really couldn't find too much good things about the school anyway.

things going my way?

Alright today I called them again and they told me I got in. Now I'm going to move all of my stuff out and that's the end of that!

Grades thus far:
1. Calc I - [A] - I did really good on the final and since half the class stopped attending the lectures, well it means a bigger curve for me.
2. ECO - [A] - I was .06 from an A and the professor was nice enough to lower the standards so I got the A. Once again, I got the A because the rest of the class were a bunch of incompetent people who didnt do so well in class. The curve was insane...
3. WRT - [A-] - I dont want to talk about this class.
4. PSY - unknown yet

thinking about what to do

As you may know (or not), I am disgusted by SBU. Thats why I decided to transfer out of this place. There are a billion reasons why I dislike this place. Ok... not that many but enough to drive me outta here.

1. ghost town campus on weekends - everyone heads home on the weekends, leaving the campus empty and dead

2. expensive rip off food - $1 for one banana (or any other piece* of fruit), salad is 44CENTS PER OUNCE ffs the plate is an ounce already. honestly, its impossible to eat healthy here. everything thats good for you is overpriced, and everything thats bad is also expensive (but less than the healthy stuff, ex; 5$ burgers). i have to limit myself to 13$ a day in order to not right out of meal points. i see white people spend like $20 on lunch. these long island people are crazy ... it's like money grows out of their trees or something

3. incompetence everywhere - all of my classes, are full of retards. ffs... half the people dont go to class. the professors dont give a shit about us. all of my classes are a joke, except math. i dont even have to show up with my books to psy and eco because the lectures are utterly useless. ive lost my motivation to do well because i dont even have to work hard to do well in class. the curve in my eco class is ridiculous because everyone is so stupid. it amazes me that only 12 people go to a class out of 100. thats how bad this school is. everyone comes here to party/do drugs/get high/get drunk/have sex. for those of us who dont, its just boring and eh

4. tripling - i dont know why they didnt pair me up with RC and WM like i requested. they threw me in with two random people into the 24 hour quiet building. the ironic thing is, the suite im in is anything but quiet. all the upperclassmen pick this building so that they are in the same building and can hang out. my suite is loud as hell because the guys play loud ass music next door in like 12-3 am. im in a god damn triple. a room designed for two people, they add a bunk bed and make it so we have to share everything in the room. im bottom bunk, but i have to share the damn desk. the room is small as hell, and i hate tripling up.

5. sleep pattern destroyed - i used to sleep early because thats how i was raised. my roommates go out partying until 3-5 am. they come back and make alot of noise and with my insomnia i lose a lot of sleep. sometimes they come back at 1 and i havent fallen asleep yet. then im screwed and stay awake until 4 am because they sleep at 4am in the morning. i have class at 8 so i get like 4 hours of sleep. its ridiculous

6. school spirit is low - everyone does their own thing, u hardly see anyone talk to one another. i came here with a bunch of friends. i didnt meet many new people. maybe its because since i already had my own clique that i didnt go out to meet new friends. but the fact of the matter is, its not very involved on campus. its lame. motivation struck an all time low.

7. paying way too much to self learn - why am i paying 6k per year to learn retarded shit myself? the professor is useless, the school is garbage, why am i paying them to LEARN THE MATERIAL MYSELF?

I honestly cant see myself staying here for 4 years. Even though the tripling thing is temporary, I simply dislike this environment too much to stay here.

However, CUNY fucked up my application. I still have to wait three weeks until they send their decision out. The service hotline is terrible. i call the 800 number and it gives me a busy tone. EVERYTIME. i emailed them like 4 weeks ago and they just got back to me last week. look at that delay time. im afraid that i'll have to stay here another term. that's just torture...
