What's the most frustrating thing about your school?

Jessica

The most frustrating at Bowie State would be the parking because there is plenty of space but that can cause traffic at times.

Quindel

The school does not have a great deal of activities to participate in.

The most fustrating thing about my school is the location. My school is located in a city where the buses are an hour apart and they stop running at 8 pm leaving anyone who lives on campus with no means of transportation.

Kelly

The must frustrating thing about Bowie was the transition from a high school senior to a college freshman. I was so nerous about adjusting to a new environment and what my experience would be like. However, those fears would soon shatter as when I began my classes the students and professors were very welcoming and I felt like a community and not an individual who is isolated.

Olubunmi

The most frustrating this about my school is the food. We pay so much money but we are provided with the worst food ever.

Jessica

The most frustationg thing about my school is sometimes administration can be slow when processing your paperwork in a timely manner. You have to constantly stay on top of them to make sure everything gets done and completed.

Ciara

While being an awesome institution of higher learning, Bowie State University's lower-level faculty leaves much to be desired when one is going through the grueling application and enrollment process. When a student tries to receive the most miniscule amount of help, they are instantly greeted with poor attitudes and an overall lack of information. To receive proper help and information, it is ALWAYS necessary to seek higher level authority.

Tia

Bowie State University can be frustrating because it does not have a variety of clubs to join. Most of the clubs offer the same thing, but they just have a different name.

Jasmine

The most frustrating thing about BSU is recieving financial aid and housing. Housing at Bowie is very limited, we have a lot of students, and housing doesnt even make up for half of us. As far as the apartments on campus, they overcharge and then treat them like your living in a regular dorm because of all of the restrictions. Financial aid is entirely too hard to receive because they have very few scholarhips. Bowie also waits until the very last minute to tell you if you have documents that need to be turned in, in order to receive aid.

Jazmen

The most frustrating thing about school is time management. If you do not know how to balance your time, than that it is when everything starts to go down hill from there. You need to beable to prioritize your time know exactly what is more important than anything else.

Ima-Obong

The parking honestly is the most frustrating thing at Bowie State University. Especially for those which all courses taken in the MLK building. We commuter students are limited to the extremely small parking lot located next to the MARC Train while the faculty/Staff have the biggest parking lot in front of the MLK building and to add fuel to the fire they also have another parking lot located next to the small parking lot located to the MARC train. Bowie State University has to be midful that this a rapidly growing, communter based institution of learning.

The most frustrating thing is that you always get the run around when an error occurs [i.e. financial aid, registry/enrollment, student account glitches, etc.] The time that the administration building takes to do things can be very lenghthy and sometimes is never fixed. For example, the MD Senatoral Scholarship was taken away from me for the past year and a half due to an error that the registrar's office made about me being enrolled in school and was never fixed. So therefore, my tuition has been, at the least, $1000 more every year.

Colette

The service provided from the administration. The lack of quality in all the food served on campus. The lack of housing. The lack of acknowledgment and respect for the University Band program.

Ariel

I would say that the most frustrating thing about Bowie State is the staff in some of the offices. The last thing that a student wants to deal with is employees with bad attitudes or who give you the run around for everything.

Damial

The rules for incoming freshman.

JaCara

The most fustrating thing about my school is that it does not have wireless internet connection in the dorms. We have to use an ethernet cord and alot of times the connection completely gives out. We are then force to go to the computer lab which is fine until the it closes because it is not open 24 hours.

Ronicia

The most frustrating thing about my school is the fact that I have to walk all arounf campus in order to get something done and or completed.

brendon

The most frustrating thing about my school is making new classes online. The process is sometimes arduous and troublesome. Many times when I try to make classes online, I encounter a setback.

Ivee

The most frustrating thing is rude staff. During the admission process, that alone was no fun and to know the ones that are supposed to be making your transition just the opposite of stressful are the ones adding the stress can be dreading...But maybe 2 out of the 15 different people i spoke with were not my most favorite people, so that's great!

Brittney

The most frustrating thing about my school is not be able to certain classes when I would like. Sometimes certain classes are only available during a particular season (such as spring or winter). It would be easier to graduate earlier or get some classes out of the way, if it were possible to have access to these class each semester.

Jennifer

There are many rewarding things about Bowie State University, however, I feel that the administration can be very frustrating. As a student, one often has to be advised by administration throughout ones academic career. I find it very difficult when the administration is rude and unhelpful to students. I personally believe that the administration has been put in place to guide the students throughout there academic career, but it is very frustrating when students do not feel respected be the administration. As a result, the students loss respect for the administration and refuse to ask for academic guidance.

Daniel

The need to have more classes open for students in the natural science department
