Is anyone else extremely butthurt that they didn't go to an elite university?

I got great school grades but stupidly picked my nearest university. The courses were horrifically dumbed down compared to any worthwhile university. I use the math courses as a way to easily compare universities and it is shocking how dumbed down my university was.

How can the professors, who have taught or went to elite universities at some point, teach dumbed down bullshit with a clean conscience? I forgot who it was, but some sort of academic bureaucrat wouldn't even admit before some sort of political commission that Oxford and Oxford Brookes have different course standards. No doubt they don't want to disrupt the gravy train.

Most universities are gigantic concrete monuments to mediocrity. You could bulldoze the lower ranked half of them and lose absolutely nothing.

This is one of those issues that is simply never mentioned in the media. In the UK there is constant complaining about Oxbridge not admitting enough minorities or poor people. Nobody ever asks why the other universities don't just copy the curriculum. I don't care about old buildings or tutorials. I wish I had gone to an Imperial College style pressure cooker.

Oh give me a break. Any reasonably intelligent and conscientious person can get the grades for one of the top universities.

How is it possible for nerdy guys to work hard in universities when they are surrounded by gigantic amounts of prime women who see them as disgusting losers and who all exclusively fuck Chad? How can some ugly nerd, with an ugly face and possibly short height that no amount of self-improvement and intelligence can cure, summon the willpower to work long hours when he knows that more genetically lucky young people are having the most sex filled, enjoyable, friend filled prime time of their lives while he, the ugly nerd, misses out?

I simply cannot fathom it. How do people do it? I finished university long ago and I disliked my subject a lot but I really wonder if I could have worked hard even if I did a subject I was interested in.
