So its a gang issue.
What are the speech codes? I've never heard of such a thing. I agree about the differences between universities vs tech schools as far as not having to do classes that dont matter to your field etc. And you're right, someone who knows what they want to do are probably better off at a tech school. But if you don't know and want to dabble in a bunch of stuff to see where your passion and skills lie, a university is probably a better environment. If you feel stifled or that you are being indoctrinated somehow, I would suggest switching schools. Not sure how one could be indoctrinated into anything at a place that provides a wide range of topics to study and a large variety of professors to teach them. In my economics degree I was taught by both flower-children and someone who referred to all liberals as "Pinko Basterds". I can't say I was indoctrinated either way, but I was opened up to differing viewpoints, which I think is important when making up your own mind.
