As a person that nearly did kill himself, while attending a prime uni in my country, living a quite affluent student life (shared apartment with only one other locator, own room, enough money to not worry about it at all, motorcycle trips during weekend, etc) i have to disagree. I became heavily disillusioned with uni - often the top ones aren't actually the best at teaching - they just get hypercompetitive due to overabundance of candidates and the staff can just be shoddy, getting results just by having unreasonable tests and test rules (some of them used to do sudden death style test - they just drone and meander offtopic during the semester, never actually covering the material, then just give an exam that has problems only tangential to the covered material. Which you can't resit. Gotta take the class again) Then your parents are pounding on you, because you are a FAILURE. And to add insult to injury they go about telling how great their school years were and how it's going to suck when you eventually finish. You are stuck with hypercompetitive peers, in often hostile surroundings (physical agression is the easy one) A lot of my friends are feeling lost. I feel lost. I still have depression - switched unis, i try to get through, do extra stuff. But the nagging feeling of inadequacy is still there Sorry for incoherence, but that post riled me a bit
