What the fuck is wrong with your place that there is bullying at university? I think most people left that shit in high school, and I could have gone for days at uni without interacting with someone if I wanted..

I think I must have told you that I'm not an American. It's worse than high school in uni here because the staff gives no fuck.

Me neither. I was at one trade school and two universities in central Europe, and I haven't heard of any serious bullying. At most at the trade school, because the average age was around 18-19 and "shop talk" is a bit rougher by default. But at uni, where half the people are like 25?

I think I mistook the meaning of the word uni. The oldest students in my college are 20. There is no 25 year olds here. Tbh, I've never personally known a person who is like 25 and studies irl.

Even if you have a more straightforward resumee than me.. You finish school here at 18, 5 years planned time for most master degrees, that makes you 23-24. Longer if you take a detour here or there.

We finish grade school here at 15 yo. Then 2 years of pre-university college. Then we start our degree courses at 18. Most of them are 3-4 years. I think it's because my college does not offer master degrees.
