Like for people going to a shitty commuter school the classes are harder cause the professors know the kids are dumb and they resent having to deal with them, and people at parking lot colleges are always talking about troubles with "group projects" and having to do a "capstone" or speech etc. And like they're always making poster boards for some reason, meanwhile at my university we just had a midterm and final pretty much and shit was a breeze. Never any busy work or group projects. Also plenty of take home finals etc

I do think there’s much more of a “prove it” mentality. They need to do all these presentations. Have to dress up a lot. Upload videos of them speaking. Etc. And it takes them 6-7 years to graduate. It’s all very humiliating and they end up with $45k business jobs out of U. of Akron or whatever and have $100k of debt.

this isn't really much of a theory, the top schools haven't only admitted to but straight up bragged about being unwilling to give anything less than a B unless you take a shit in the middle of class
it’s like shitty jobs where you have to dress up nicely and actually work the full 8-9 hours compared to high paying jobs where you dress more casual and do about 4 hours of actual work

This is certainly true for law schools. I knew i had to grind my ass off to get a 175+ LSAT because while I could focus my attention and will enough to excel on one exam, I could never survive the meat grinder of a shithole law school where they expel a third of the class after 1L.
