You love how you can grab a bite to eat in the city centre and still make it in time for that next class (if you sprint), you know you go to the Best Business School of 2016 (according to Times at least), you know the Science departments there are unparalleled. There\u2019s a lot to love about being a Strathy, but there are still things that you know totally suck at University of Strathclyde.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Lack of funding for societies<\/h2>\n<p>We were able to completely renovate the Business Building but can\u2019t spare a penny on our societies.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Navigating the Royal College building<\/h2>\n<p>Unless you\u2019ve been here at least a dozen times, have a photographic memory, has drafted out a complete map of the whole building or, maybe you\u2019re just lucky, chances are you won\u2019t be able to make it to that class in RC213 by 2pm if you left any later than dawn.<\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<\/h6>\n<h2>3. Music is too loud at The Barony<\/h2>\n<p>Pints at The Barony may be cheap, but is it worth the future medical bills that will go into trying to repair your hearing? What is the point of blasting music so loud that you can barely hear the guy beside you vomit? How many times must we hear about Ariana swinging side to side or Halsey\u2019s rover that she can\u2019t afford?<\/p>\n<h2>4. Half the lecturers can\u2019t speak English<\/h2>\n<p>This one depends on what department you\u2019re in, but chances are that you\u2019ve wondered why your lecture doesn\u2019t come with subtitles.<\/p>\n<h2>5. Too many students who can&#8217;t speak or write proper English<\/h2>\n<p>A controversial but very real problem. When it comes to group work, there\u2019s always a chance you\u2019ll have to pick up the slack or correct the grammar of an unsuspecting foreigner. It really isn\u2019t their fault honestly. If you slow down and give them a chance to explain themselves, they may have some truly great ideas!<\/p>\n<h2>6. Lack of past papers and answers to them<\/h2>\n<p>It seems that, the more words required to answer a question, the less likely you\u2019ll be able to find an answer to it; and when your whole class is based on answering the questions essay style, it may be near impossible to actually find an answer key.<\/p>\n<p>Unless you\u2019re best friends with all your seniors and alumni, you won\u2019t have that many past papers to practice on when exams come. 3 would be the most common amount.<\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<\/h6>\n<h2>7. The Hill<\/h2>\n<p>No words needed. You know the bane of having The Hill, you\u2019ve wondered why one would build buildings around an incline so steep. You\u2019ve considered building an escalator and making Glasgow Caledonion pay for it.<\/p>\n<h2>9. The Colville building<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s hard to think that this is where they plan to relocate The Union. It\u2019s even harder to look at. It\u2019s just old, and ugly, and it smells odd.<\/p>\n<h2>10. Overpriced food at Nourish<\/h2>\n<p>Do you remember the last time you paid 4 pounds for what was essentially plain bread, a few bits of meat and one pickle? Or 3.59 for soggy bread, old eggs and one slice of ham? We all know how you feel. Everyone gets suckered into paying for a Nourish meal at least once.<\/p>\n<h5>What are some other things that totally suck at University of Strathclyde?<\/h5>\n<h6>Featured image source: pinterest.com<\/h6>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You\u2019re proud of being a student of Strathclyde.
