The purple is the result of inadequate fixing and/or washing. It can be rectified by fixing in fresh fixer and then proper washing. Rather inconvenient if they're cut into strips, but possible.
This is independent of anything that might have gone wrong with the developing.
In what way are they terrifying? Both the Tri-X and the Delta3200?
Maybe the guys at the lab are in a conspiracy with the lecturer.
Stick with film! You really should be developing your own film though.
(The purple/pink is more of a problem with some films such as TMax100, "new technology" films. Tri-x is probably in this category now since it has been revised slightly to be made in a different factory (a couple of years ago, if I remember corectly)
