Twitter has completely destroyed the mystique academics had back when I was in university. We used to check ratemyprof or whatever the site was called, but then you had to decide whether or not to believe the person calling the instructor crazy.
Now you just check the instructor's twitter, and they themselves will tell you they're crazy.
Very university dependent. In top 10 schools, you learn, it’s hyper competitive, and the professors are great. If you’re in a fake subject, that won’t apply, but you’ll still learn about as much as there is to know. Most of those schools are now filled with internationals that smile and nod to SJW stuff but mostly ignore it.
Aren't the top schools the most woke these days?
They try to present themselves that way to get their ranking up, but most undergrads there actually are international or first generation STEM type folks though that don’t actually care or dislike it but don’t say much about it. Gen Z also seems to have more conservatives.
