...know how other Ivy League schools have intensive freshman humanities programs designed to teach the respective skills of suffocating pretension and talking out of your ass? Yeah. Well, apparently, students at these places are starting to realize that these breeding grounds of eternal douchebaggery might not be so worth it after all.
