I'm a proud user of sci-hub but when I was still in academics, I have never used it. My school has access to all the journals I ever needed, plus more old non-digitized ones I can borrow from library (including interlibrary access).

My school has no such thing and yet requires me to find and cite research.

  I think access to research shouldn't be a luxury or dependent on where you study

It depends on the discipline, also the mode of learning (I'm distance learning so no physical library access). My uni (Northampton) has access to a LOT of journals... but has a blindspot in management, specifically accountancy focus journals; am doing my lit review for my MSc dissertation and the number of times I hit a dead end is frustrating. Sci-hub and Annas-Archive are also not interested in that segment, so double whammy. But surprisingly Archive.org was able to help me out a bit, so thanks for that.

>My school has access to all the journals I ever needed I miss being on a university network and having paywalled journals and such just magically load.
