I went to college twice. First graduated in 1994 then again in 2011. Both times I definitely had some professors who were insufferable hardasses.

I did sense a shift toward the more easy going professor the second time around, but I also sense it was because I was much closer in age if not older than some of them.

I also did see a lot of crazy drunken behavior both times. One chemistry professor in particular was making gin in his lab and one of his grad students was making ecstasy.

College is/was a weird world.
