Colleges are the biggest scammers; they are just a company. They don't give a shit about you, only your money.

ehhh.. My university went out of their way to help me quite a bit. A lot of my professors were really awesome. Far better than any boss/supervisor I've ever had. YMMV

Also like, ofc professors are separate from the admin. That's sort of like saying "Starbucks is a great company because my barista is nice to me". Professors aren't the one dictating the price or how much conjoined twins have to pay.

Idk, I hated my college passionately by the end of it but had mostly positive views of all my professors except maybe the few who graded unfairly.

Their job is usually primarily research, not teaching.

In my university, I only had like 3 actually bad professors out of several dozen which ranged from decent to excellent (computer engineering).

With the amount of unpaid work academics do if they care about their students, yeah basically

My experience with professors is they care about as much as you care about actually learning. If you're just there to collect credits, graduate, and get a corporate job they aren't going to go out of their way for you. If you actually have an interest in the material and show you do the readings they will take the time and put in the effort for you.

i’ve seen this be the case for very few professors while the rest might as well be subs
