Of politics and engineering

One does not simply study in a college withouth being exposed to the internal ugly political system. And just like the political system at the national level. It is just as bad and just as ugly. There is a famous line from the game Skyrim "I have seen enough political manuevering in my time I choose to remain above the petty squabbles of this clan" this line applies beautifully when applied in a internal college context of you find it's bad choose to stay away choose to rise above these petty squabbles of power dominance. In the long run they hardly affect way you do in college. Staying aloof is the best practice. However if politics is your thing then by all means do get your hands dirty but remember you probably should not be here
