If the professor isn't assigning challenging work for you then stop crying and go learn more by yourself. That's not the case in every class, so don't expect it. Also, seek out the more challenging professors, it's not very hard to do. I have purposefully taken professors who I knew would teach me more at the potential expense of GPA, and my gpa is extremely important to me.

Also, get into another school if it's that bad. I'm not sure what you're majoring in, but if it's something in the Liberal Arts then try transferring to LAC which is worth its increased expense. If you're majoring in a science then find the equivalent.

The college I'm attending now is expensive and has a great reputation, something I honestly didn't think mattered before I enrolled. I see now why these schools have attained these credentials; they're different. My average class size for a 200 level course is 12 people, for a 400 level course it's about 8, and a grad level course is about 5-8. The work load is immense compared to any other institutions I've attended and the material is exponentially interesting.

So stop whining and go make better things happen for yourself.
