30 Of The Funniest Interactions Between Students And Professors While Exchanging Emails

Contrary to popular belief, life in university is not solely about studying all day or conducting research during the wee hours of the night; it is also about making connections and friends, being part of a rich and developing community, and the cliché of living life to the fullest. While it is a given that students interact with their fellow classmates, they also have to communicate with their professors on an almost daily basis, particularly through emails.

However, this point-and-click type of communication can sometimes be filled with accidental insults and ambiguous jokes that are so hilarious they are worth posting on the Internet for everyone to enjoy a good laugh. Communicating with professors is an unavoidable task that every single student must face, even if it is just once during their university life.

In most cases, students email their professors to clarify certain matters or to seek help with solving a problem. Some students become more stressed and anxious when they think about emailing their professors because of the constant worry of accidentally making a mistake, which could negatively impact their professor's impression of them or, worse, reflect on their grades.

While most of these email exchanges are rather mundane and focus solely on course-related matters, some take unexpectedly funny turns, catching students off guard with the way their professors respond. Just take a look at some of the best ones below!
