IHTFP.

Probably best known among the students and alumni of MIT, IHTFP stands for “I hate this fucking place”. I find it odd that legally-consenting students would show animosity toward an establishment which in no way obligates them to suffer its horrors. A similar situation is found here at John Brown University. A lot of the students really hate the university.

One really big bone of contention is the lifestyle expectations contract. In a nutshell, the contract just states that as a student, we can't be gay, promiscuous, on drugs or dancing. I fail to see how this is a problem? I don't smoke; I don't slam down the booze; I'm not boinking chicks, and I don't even know how to dance. People say that it's legalistic and ridiculous. I say, if you have a problem with it, you're a whiner — you either whine too much, or you like to drink wine.

I have read forum posts of people who say that they hate the university, they hate the classes, and they hate the people. Someone spoke up and stated the obvious when he told them to leave. He was told that his solution was dumb and unrealistic. I'll just state the obvious here too: if this university isn't your particular brand of vodka (or if you like to drink vodka), really, leave. I'm not going to miss you. You'll be someplace where you can better spend your scholarship money, and I won't have to plug my ears with my waded up scholarship money after listening to you complain about this place like if there was a fire here, it'd be the throne room of hell.
