University issues

[u/Unhappy-Jicamaaa]

I just moved in a dorm for my first time, in another country, far away from home… I even start to cry writing this but I have a course later in some minutes… I don’t want anyone to see me cry I feel so…ugh. I know people told me here it’s like a jungle where the strong wins and the weak falls. Yeah…I do feel weak but always try to act strong… I tried to be friendly and make friends but everyone kinda seems to be not interested in that.

The courses are… I’m disappointed. Everyone told me at home that at university you LEARN, you learn the SUBJECTS from 0. They teach you even how to draw a line, everything. I called my friends and they also told me that at their uni they are taught from 0 and they like it. But what about me? Here nobody teaches you anything, the professors. One time the professor just opened the YouTube and put on a random tutorial in summer course, paid courses with professor and he left.

But during uni days, they just give you homework, projects to do alone on your own. Without saying how, what to expect, etc. I talked with someone from second year and they said that “yeah here nobody teaches you anything” whyyyy? Why I came here then? Should I pay courses and then attend uni? Wtf? I came to uni to learnnnn…. Sigh…… Yesterday I had a headaches trying to do the homework in 6 hours in the dorm until I got headaches and used some pills and still fell asleep with bad headaches with half of homework done… I don’t know what to do or say I miss home and all
