Julie Alexander+FollowMissing Class Because of Periods?!Did you know uni students in the UK are missing up to SIX weeks of classes because of their periods? And if you’ve got something like endo or PCOS, it jumps to 11 weeks over your degree. The pain and brain fog are real, but here’s the kicker: some students actually get a focus boost during their cycle! The report’s calling for better support, less stigma, and more open convos about menstrual health on campus. Time for unis to step up! #Education #MenstrualHealth #UniversityLife10Share
Michael Petty+FollowAre Uni Grades Getting Too Easy?Turns out, a lot of uni teachers in Australia are giving out higher grades than students actually deserve—just to keep students (and their bosses) happy! Most teachers feel frustrated and powerless, but say they’re pressured by student evaluations and extra admin work if students complain. Some even admit to bumping up marks to avoid drama. Makes you wonder: are degrees losing their value, or is this just the new normal? #Education #GradeInflation #UniversityLife00Share
Timothy Gardner College Drama Collector+FollowUniversity teachers also chat about students' gossip “Not only do students privately discuss their professors, but teachers also gossip about their students! That day, I went to see my undergraduate advisor. When I first entered the office, I heard him and another female teacher discussing the matter of a female student in our department who had submitted a leave of absence application due to pregnancy. As soon as I entered the door, they fell silent immediately🤫.” #Gossip #CollegeLife #UniversityLife #Pregnancy 20Share
