I must be stupid
I must be stupid to think that this country could actually educate me. I just failed the state exam in hygiene and epidemiology and I'm mad because once again it was one of those tests I studied too long for and I think I failed because I'm not a mind reader. A three week class where I went to every class and read all the material for about three weeks and it all comes down to whether or not I can read the mind of the person examining me. Once again I drew three questions at random and defended them. The questions that I drew I thought were OK and I knew, but as has been the case many times my idea of what the answers are is very different from what our teachers are thinking. I find it harder and harder to conceal my rage and as time goes on I just want to resort to physical violence to bring these people into reality and make them see that they aren't educating us but in fact misleading us. Now I'm not claiming that I knew everything and that I was wronged. I did give some wrong answers and I didn't know the answer to everything that was asked of me and in fact I totally blanked on something I know but it's just very disheartening to spend so much time studying and preparing for something only to be told that in fact everything I have been doing was wrong. I have no hope for this place, I don't think anything will ever change here, I don't think this school will ever be progressive and I really don't care. In about a year I'm done and I just want my degree and I want to just get out of here job or no job. I would rather be unemployed and in debt looking for a job than to be here trying to read the minds of my teachers.

That las post scared the hell out of me, as I have already been accepted by Charles. What are the other US/Canadian/British students saying about this?
I do not think that I am alone in my opinion. The english student website sometimes has some comments from others about the goings on at school:

My advice to you would be to carefully weigh all options. This place is littered with students who had good intentions.
