Yes, also had a director call a student the N-word. I also had a weather professor who only taught us about outdated meteorological instruments instead of tornados and hurricanes. Another professor in scenic design wanted us to fully learn architecture software in one weekend and replicate the interior of the Albany theatre, again in one weekend. Two kids were murdered while I was there. During one of them, they didn’t even send out a warning text so everyone on campus was sheltering based off word of mouth. Two of my most prominent professors were divorced and would argue about their marriage in the basement that’s how I figured out one had been cheating on the other. During one year, our theatre department, which was the largest in the world at the time, had one role for males in the entire year… a villain role. They also wanted to put on a play that included black people in white face and white people in blackface. Me personally, I was in a severely abusive relationship and I lived in a building that was a civil war hospital. I was terribly haunted and items would appear in my car like a bag of salt inside my taillight, a strange painted stone inside the crawl space I had previously cleaned out, or a drawing of a man hiding his face appearing inside my room. I have a fear of men hiding their faces ever since a man tired to attack me on my street but hid his face with his hands and ran when I saw him. I also would randomly throw up blood and the doctors didn’t know what it was. And I got arrested on false premises for drugs I didn’t have.

College was rough to say the least.
