What's the most frustrating thing about your school?

The school dosen't listen to the students. If a treacher is a bad teacher and students complain nothing happens to the teacher but the student could get punished for it. An example is if the teacher found out you were trying to get them fired.

Brittany

My school makes very bad decisions about how they spend our money.

David

The cost is the most frustrating thing about Florida Tech. Unless they live nearby, the school require freshmen and sophmores to live on campus and buy a meal plan. the cheapest housing is $2,440, and the meal plans that we can choose are both also another $2,440. WHile the meal plans are worth the cost, the resident halls are not. You get 1 bed, desk, and closet, and you have to share a restroom with 9 other students.

The acedemic advisors try to be helpful, but they don't always seem to know what they are talking about. Also, they will push for you to take classes that they teach or that interest them rather than interest the student. You can end up taking the classes that you want to take, it is just annoying to deal with them in order to allow you to register.

Jessica

The cost is the most frustrating thing about my school. It's a great school, and I wouldn't choose any other school in a million years, but it's expensive.

James

Registration Process, Course Catalog and Availability. COST!

Casey

I have a hard time understanding some of my professors because there are many that don't speak english clearly, therefore I have to learn almost all course material on my own, which can become frusterating.

Sapphire

The course work is good, but it's very time consuming.

Kalle

Theres less girls than boys. And that the academic, specially engineering is prioritised compared to the athletics.

Aaron

our student government is a joke and they pretend like they have power, but they only have control over the most useless things like which email service provider we use or WHERE the next big waste of money should be put (not WHAT). students really have little control of their own campus: frats and sororites probably have the biggest pull, and I'm in one, but it's really not my thing...

Amanda

The lack of financial aid and the lack of getting help with finding financial aid.

Kimberly

it's so expensive! and, its sports teams are mediocre. . .the school is just kind of boring, in general. :(

Lindsay

The cost! I am attending Florida Tech for the aviation program. I want to be a professional pilot however, I can no longer afford the cost of flight training at Florida Tech.

Jacquelyn

The most frustrating thing about Florida Tech is that the classes are so hard that professors often feel the need to curve the grades or else more than half of their classes fail. What this means for the students, overall, is that we're not really taking anything out of this class. Additionally. when we leave Florida Tech to go on to graduate school or to our careers, we're less prepared than we should be. For instance, many students who take the GREs score significantly low because of all the curving that's been done with their grades.

Tony

The guy to girl ratio is like 7:4

Keri

The administrative red tape and minimal academic advice were the two things that frustrated me the most about my undergraduate univeristy.

Casey

There have been times when I have been unable to buy the books I need for class at this school because the bookstore on campus did not have them in stock. I use financial aid to buy my books, so I have to get a book voucher until I can get a check for the remaining balance. When the bookstore is out of books and I am waiting to be able to get my check, I can't buy the books I need, so I do poorly in class.
