<p>I hate the righteousness of some students paying their own way through college. You are smarter than others because they have no money for college? I know many students below the poverty line whose parents did not let them work in high school so that they could focus exclusively on school work and have a better chance of receiving scholarships and merit based aid from colleges. Is that the best idea? No. But it is what it is.</p>
<p>@ methehan: most people who are Undeclared are freshmen who don’t know what they want to do yet (and plus, the 1st two years is doing general education). At my university, if you entered as an undeclared freshman, it’s expected that by the time you enter your junior year that you declare an actual major. </p>
<p>Also, not all Bio majors have to be pre-pharm or pre-med students. Some are more interested in research and working in a lab. :/</p>
<p>
You do have a point, but how about international students who are not allowed to work full-time and have to obtain work permit from the school to work part-time, though I know some schools are getting more strict in terms of granting work permit for international students 
</p>
<p>Most paid internship positions require citizenship and a SSN. Unpaid internships are rarely available for international students. Well, at least in my city…</p>
<p>Kids who laugh at foreign teachers who don’t really get that they’re being mocked.
You’re taking an Arabic class. His accent will be kinda different.</p>
<p>The student who thinks that due to their solid grades, dedication to study and putting study ahead of socialising, they are incredibly smart. </p>
<p>Where as in reality they are just socially inadequate, lacking natural intelligence and don’t gain life experiences because they spend their day attatched to their desks.</p>
<p>… students who think that anyone that puts study ahead of socializing(*) is socially inadequate</p>
<p>People who complain about homework all the time. It’s college, what did you expect?</p>
<p>I don’t know if this has been brought up before, but people who complain about getting a bad grade on a test because it was too hard (the professor is SOOO UNFAIR.) I might get the brunt of it because I’m a freshman, but it seems like there are a lot of people like this. If people can get a 95%, and the average is ~75%, it’s not unfair, you just need to study.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Not what I think nor did I suggest that everyone who puts study ahead of socialising is socially inadequate. I said it’s annoying when there ARE students like the description I gave.</p>
<p>People who don’t understand the concept of a dorm housing upwards of a hundred people that sleep and study at different times. There are two or three of them on any given floor that will always slam their door every time they enter or leave their room, who play music loud enough for people two floors down to hear, who think loud parties on Thursday nights (really, Friday mornings) are cool.</p>
<p>^sounds like they understanding living in a dorm perfectly</p>
<p>But parties on Thursday nights are cool…</p>
<p>The dude who sits right in front of the professor and sleeps at the class. The same dude who would wake up and compete in answering all the questions at his highest voice. The same dude who also asks the professor to just skip the materials he finds easy. </p>
<p>This is a class of at least 200 students. You and I might already understand; others might not. It’s one thing to sit in the middle rows and open facebook (which I don’t do, but at least people who do it don’t bother others); it’s another thing to sit in the very front row and sleep. You are being rude. If you want to show how smart you are, do it by acing your test. Answering questions that everybody else can asnwer just won’t do it.</p>
<p>People who show up late for class… every day! Seriously, if there is something stopping you from getting to class until 20 minutes after it starts EVERY SINGLE DAY you shouldn’t have registered for this class. Even worse… when this person sits in the seat the furthest away from the door in the front, so it disturbs every other person in the class. </p>
<p>There’s a guy that’s in one of my classes now, and was in one last semester. Both classes, he’s done this… come in about 15-20 minutes late every day. Then, once he gets there he feels the need to stop the instructor and say “I don’t understand, where did you get that from?” and we have to cover the whole thing back to the beginning of class because he couldn’t get his lazy behind out of bed and be in class at 8! If you’re going to be late, fine… but do not walk in front of the entire class, and do not ask the instructor to cover everything you missed like you’re his personal tutoring student… wait until after class! Better yet, quit registering for 8 AM classes!</p>
<p>^ Lateness is just super annoying. So is</p>
<ol>
<li>Talking during the ENTIRE lecture.</li>
<li>Coloring during class (yes, this has happened)</li>
<li>Asking stupid questions</li>
<li>*****ing about how hard the class is, even when they don’t study</li>
<li>People socializing out in the halls during class.</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li><p>People who eat food that isn’t theirs in the lounge-room fridges.</p></li>
<li><p>Show-offs who debate the professor constantly over needlessly pedantic points just to sound smart.</p></li>
<li><p>Extremely messy people who never clean up after themselves.</p></li>
<li><p>Students who let their noisy cell phone go off in class and make no effort to silence them or make no effort to keep it from happening again.</p></li>
<li><p>People who waste like three drying machines on a grand total of five articles of clothing. </p></li>
<li><p>People who get irresponsibly drunk and then force everyone else to take care of them all night because they’re likely to do something stupid otherwise.</p></li>
<li><p>Students who waste large amounts of class time asking questions about things they should have already read up on in terms of class material. Some of us have to pay our way through school and don’t want to waste money and time because of your laziness.</p></li>
<li><p>Drunk kids who are suddenly powertripping experts in law when confronted by the police.</p></li>
<li><p>Freeloaders in group projects.</p></li>
<li><p>People who are so supremely arrogant that they refuse to admit that they’re wrong just because they’re arguing with someone from another field, as if it’s not possible for someone else to understand, say, physics because they aren’t majoring in physics.</p></li>
<li><p>Rich kids / children of powerful people who flaunt it every chance they can.</p></li>
<li><p>People who ask you random questions about X only because they want you to ask them about X in response so they can brag.</p></li>
<li><p>Students who constantly ask for favors but are never available to give any favors back, no matter how small.</p></li>
<li><p>Girls who are overly public with their hookups and sex lives who then turn around and pull the whole “Oh, ■■■, how do I get myself into these situations!?” routine.</p></li>
<li><p>And, in general, roommates who are just rude/inconsiderate for no reason. If I can hear your alarm clock go off in the morning from three rooms away and you leave it beeping for two hours straight, I am going to develop an urge to brain you with a car battery. Don’t slam doors when others are trying to sleep. Don’t sexile your roommates all the time. Don’t puke and procrastinate on cleaning it up. Don’t blast loud music when I’m clearly trying to have a phone conversation. The list goes on.</p></li>

<p>Obviously this is true. International exchange students are in a completely different situation. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>This annoys me so much! I have a foreign teacher who is obviously a really intelligent guy, but because of his accent students make fun of him. It’s just so rude! </p>
<p>In general, it really annoys me when students are so closed minded about other cultures. I can’t believe we’re in college and people still think it’s okay to laugh at someone because of their accent or their culture.</p>
<p>Honestly, I haven’t noticed any behaviors remotely close to those mentioned in these posts from anyone at my college, lol.</p>
<p>It annoys me when people publicly argue about grades … in my nutrition class (a gen ed class of maybe 400), a question on our first midterm ended up having two right answers, so the professor decided to just add six points to everyone’s grades. This girl stood up and angrily gave the professor this ridiculous justification as to why everyone should really be getting <em>10</em> extra points instead of 6 and how she DESERVED it and blah blah blah. She made a huge scene which practically turned into a 400 person shouting match. This went on and on and the professor got so frustrated and tired of arguing with students that she left the auditorium. </p>
<p>And no, she didn’t end up getting her 10 points either. Then she went on the class’s Facebook group and badmouthed the professor (who wasn’t a member of the group, thank God), saying she was incompetent, overdramatic, etc. She even tried to start a friggin’ petition but then some of us finally told her off and she admitted that she had acted immaturely and she supposedly sent the prof an apology email. It was just all so embarrassing. Since that happened the professor has been pretty cold, and I’m sure that on the next exam she won’t be making any adjustments at all to the grades.</p>
<p>I hate how people type ridiculous as rediculous</p>
