Well, I'm about to find out. I start at university tomorrow, and from what I've heard so far, the staff are pretty good. Just a matter of time, I guess.

Ennnhhh... not so much... Heaps of places are banning smoking these days.shadyh8er said:But my campus did recently ban smoking. I can see how that can be interpreted as not treating people like adults.
Shhhhh... don't ruin the joke. It's always piss funny when some young'un thinks they're being 'grown up' by being a miserable killjoy.Angie7F said:Sure. I never thought otherwise.
Real life is not as "grown up " as you would expect it to be anyways.
Smoking is practically forbidden anywhere large groups of people congregate, though. Is it the kind of campus you live in? Because I've often enough resided in a place where they didn't want you to smoke for resale reasons.shadyh8er said:It really depends on the professor honestly. But my campus did recently ban smoking. I can see how that can be interpreted as not treating people like adults.
I'm fairly certain he can't send you away during lab classes legitimately, if he does just talk to your personal tutor or course leader about how much of a **** nugget he is.bojackx said:Well, I got told off like a 5 year old for turning up late to a lab day because of my train being cancelled (I would later learn this was due to a landslide on the tracks, and not due to weather which is what the teacher was adamant was the cause, saying I should have checked the weather forecast beforehand), so I'd have to say that I don't feel like I'm being treated like an adult.
On top of that, he says if I'm late again then I'll just be sent away (each lab session is assessed and goes towards my final grade) which is the kind of crap I wouldn't even expect at any age.
I'm paying £9000-a-year jackass, don't force me to lose marks unnecessarily.
