The most frustrating thing about my school would be the attendance policy. I know going to class is important in order to succeed, but I don't think it should be required, meaning it shouldn't be worth points. Last semester, I received so many points from atendance in a class that I could fail a test, and it wouldn't change my grade. That's not right. Also, there are some class sessions that are a waste of time, so as college students, we should be able to make the decision to go without worrying about losing points.

The lack of student parking and nothing to do.

Its like they make a higher education next to impossible for students like me.

Its not what Ive expected. When I first got here I thought I was somebody special, people made me feel at home, and my classes were good. But when I really needed financial help the people who were helping me made mistakes that lost me 2 scholarships and a grant. And when I tried to fight for them I was fighting for them alone.

Finding time to finall that you would like to finish, including church, school work, sports, extracurricular activities, job, work, and family.
