It's not enjoyable. I have spent so much time trying to keep a Good grade. Which I don't know what country you're from but look up the American college/university grading scale. It's very different from some countries grading scales. 93%+ = A 89% = A- 85% = B+ etc.
Wait, how are colleges/universities outside of the USA? Are they not stress filled institutes for higher education designed to put you in generational debt?
University is cool here. The only written assignement I ever had was the thesis, and some pesky beginner courses which were annoying as hell, but otherwise ...
Heck, I often asaw my professor for the first time at the final course exam.
So, yes, it is different, which makes me always me chuckle about the fantasy depiction of "accademics". You can always when they were written by Americans or Canadians because they arwe s far removed from my reality. Senseless book reading. Senseless work. Senseless essays. Senseless scheduldes.
Heck, schedludes dont exist here. You come and go when you want. Nobody gives a fuck. Only the final exam counts. What you do before is completely irrelevant for a course.
