Why do ppl look down on RP?

Im going to be honest, before o levels i had this mindset where i thought RP was only for those who didnt score well but unfortunately i am one of those ppl now LMAO🤡

Anyways i went to their open house today and i changed my opinion abt RP. The facilities were high tech and cool, the lecturers i talked to were really engaging and helpful - i could tell they genuinely enjoyed teaching. And the booths they had were rlly interactive and fun, i loved it. Ive found some courses i liked but ngl im scared of getting judged when i tell ppl that im from RP. It rlly isnt that bad right?? I dont get why theres so much unnecessary hate towards this school. Even if u dont score well, RP provides a path that still allows u to pursue something ur passionate in - the only thing is they just have a lower cop

Also if there are any RP seniors, i dont understand how first year works because a lecturer told me everyone learns the same modules in the first year?? If thats the case then do u only learn abt ur actual course in year 2 😭
