The university admissions were so rude in fact that it was the straw that broke the camel's back, my wife and I applied to another university and was promptly accepted.

They gave me such a hassle over my transcripts, they claimed they did not have them even though they were sent from my HS 3 times! After a heated argument, behold! they happen to find them. But by then it was too late, deadline passed and the dopes would not budge on admitting me.

But as I said, it was more than that little incident, the whole admissions process was the biggest pain ever, I have never in my life came across such a beaurocratic mess and such rude people.
Admissions staff are not faculty.

Not really; the closest to disrespect is my philosophy professor blaming Republicans for some measly issue. I'm not a Republican, but I thought that was very peculiar how it was completely off-subject. She did seem like she was "high" every time she came to class though.

My chemistry professor said that my answer to a question "makes no mathematical logic!!!", but I thought that was hilarious. It was weird because I received that same answer as him, yet he marked the entire problem wrong. That wasn't disrespect, but I assume some may take that as an insult since a lot of people get upset easily.

It's funny, in SOME of my current 100 level classes. The teachers treat the students no different than a High School teacher would. I actually don't blame them since a lot of the kids are immature freshman. But in the 400 level classes, you are definitely treated more like a professional adult.

And the reception in my department is a bi-polar as hell. One day he's giving me so much disrespect/shade and the next week he is nice&friendly. Gosh, if you don't like me for whatever reason then that's TOTALLY fine!..Go for it!..no craps given!...but at least let me know and don't play games because it's just wasting both of our time!

From faculty? Not that I recall. But I was surprised to be treated condescendingly and dismissively when I went to talk to the graduate adviser of one department regarding applying for their grad program. It's her job to provide students with info on the grad program and application process. Blowing prospective students off is just bizarre. It only happened in that one department, though. Elsewhere, I was welcomed by advisers and faculty.
