It's honestly atrocious how badly the ECE majors at this school are treated

I think the fault isn't on others, it's half the ECE population itself. No stereotype goes without some truth to it, and quite frankly a ton of ECE act like the meme itself. The most interesting thing is that so many of the comments on this thread come from ECE kids themselves. It's like they see one of their own taking a stand for himself or trying to make a point and they be like "fuck no I'm a loser and you gotta be a loser too. It aint the ECE way to not act like a dweeb". I say the real root of the problem are the one half of ECE folks that argue and troll their own people's posts, or are too afraid to stand up for themselves so they just wallow in self pity. Literally anytime someone asks a question about an ECE elective, it gets downvoted immediately. Those votes are most likely coming from fellow ECE, because no other major would be so annoyed to downvote those posts. Just because you are a loser don't mean you gotta drag others down.
