And likewise, the professors that do this and then use it as justification to give you way too much work, or way too difficult work.
This reminds me: Professors that give difficulty estimates for assignments based on how long it would take them to do the assignment, not a student who is just learning the material.
Tip for any incoming freshmen reading this thread: Take professor’s time and difficulty estimates for assignments and exams with a grain of salt until you get a good feel for the class. They don’t always estimate well. Alternatively, talk to people who have already taken the class with that professor and ask about the assignment length and difficulty to get an idea of how realistic the professor is being.
Apparently a couple of the suites in my dorm area had mice problems in my year, though I never personally saw any. And most of my floor wound up with an ant infestation because of a couple messy neighbors who didn’t take their trash out enough. It’s definitely not something they mention on the tours! I’d agree that it’s probably more dependent on the dorm and the residents that year though.
