I attend a college in the Nebraska State College System. Believe it or not, we do at least one program better than UNL, UNO, or UNK.

My brother and his wife are huskers and both of them browse 4chan.

>Small college, one physics professor.
>Professor had great credentials. Carried hundreds of students through a small, but respectable degree program.
>Retires mid-semester due to leukemia.
>All physics courses except for "Physics for Biologists" are not offered temporarily.
>Incoming freshman are welcomed to a dead program. Some make plans to transfer the following semester, most drop-out in the first few months.
>Non-majors that need calculus-based physics (e.g., geology and chemistry students) are told to wait until a replacement has been hired.
>Wait a year. Told a replacement may not be hired due to low enrollment in the physics program (haha).
>Wait another year. "Physics for Biologists" is renamed "College Physics." College Physics I and II are the only physics classes offered. Geology and chemistry students are told to take college physics here or look for credit elsewhere.
>Mfw I was told to wait for two consecutive years just to receive a "fuck off."
>Mfw I have to pay for physics I and II out of pocket as single classes from other colleges do not qualify for financial aid. This will cost me $3000 out of pocket per semester and push me to 20 credits each semester.
>Mfw I fell for le "big fish in small pond," small college meme.
I have won every undergrad research fellowship in my department, received the best internships, and the best scholarships for the last three years, but it just doesn't seem worth it when I am unable to take the most basic classes to earn my degree. To anyone starting college, skip the small liberal arts/private schools and go to a university.
