Stuff like this makes me angry. I had similar experiences in uni.

I grew up very poor, so finishing uni was like, an achievement I had to do, but I learnt C++ and HL2 modding and other computer stuff back in highschool.

My uni experience was 7 years of hell (multiple gap years to go do real work before coming back). Getting stuff like "pseudocode can't have an equal sign in it, so NC" on assignments.

"Even if you finish all the assignments you must attend every tutorial or you pass"

Ive told many academics to go to hell. I'm not paid to be there like they are.

My grades go from "barely passed" to "high distinction" like a rollercoaster each year.

- and yet, I still really wanted to like uni. I do still want to like it, it's just a shame about the academics
