>have master's
>nobody in my graduate cohort completed the advertised 2-year program within two years because the program was so hands-off
>7 students, including myself, drop first semester Statistics because it's taught like utter shit (big class so it's separated into two and different equations were given between the classes, e.g.)
>another important class is taught by a new professor who barely interacts with the material, comes unprepared, answers "I don't know" to most questions, and had one specific student explain a lot of concepts she didn't understand, among other things
>retake Stats the next year and it's still a joke with a different professor who assumes everybody knows the material so she constantly lectures for 2.5 hours and hardly ever gave us anything at all to actually practice with
>three fucking weeks in a math-related course without ANY numbers or math to play with
>one of the professors in my program plays blatant favorites and asks me why I'm not like one of her favorite students
>in the same conversation that she tells me I may not be a good fit for the program and asks what my backup plan was (because I was one of seven students who dropped that shitty first-semester Stats course)
>program does nothing at all whatsoever to make sure students are doing anything post-grad
>obligatory sexism where they hire only female students (to be fair, it's glorified HR) out of the program for the Grad Admissions office
Who else had a bad time in grad school?
