Everything is very spead out.

The most frustrating thing about Mississippi State University was test scheduling. My teachers typically scheduled tests on the same day or on consecutive days. I certainly do not mind studying and working hard to achieve good grades, I just wish I had more time to clear my head, rest, and prepare for each test equally. Sometimes, I was forced to decide for which class I would spend the most time studying. I could have learned much more with a more distributed test schedule.

The most frustrating thing about my school is the competiveness.

As a college student, we are taking on challenges from all levels of rigid structure. The preparation of study is the most frustrating thing in college.

Many students are confident when entering the world of our university and expect from experience to be able to do most anything that is handed to them from university classes here after being from another college.

By transferring from another college to here one must make sure that he or she is truly ready.

The most frustrating part about attending Mississippi State is the lack of variety in the meal plan. Since freshman are required to buy one, it makes the transition from home cooked meals that much more difficult. The food is extremely cheap and greasy. It took me several months to adjust my digestive system to handle meals from there. Also, the meal plan only works for the two cafeterias on campus and you have to purchase separate "Flex Dollars" to be able to eat at the Student Union that serves higher quality meals. This includes chain restaurants.

Professors who assume you know more than you do because they are experts.

The most frustrating thing about my school is the slow financial aid process.

Parking at Mississippi State.

The most frustrating about Mississippi State University is that there is not a good seletion or variety of food places on campus. I think there should be a better variety and a bigger selection of places to eat on campus. The cafeteria does not have a good selection of foods either. It's frustrating that most times students choose to and have to go off campus to get a better selection and variety of food choices.

Staying on task with school work.

Mondays can be very hected.

The most frustrating thing to me about MSU is trying to set up my schedule each semester. I am trying to complete my education in four years. it seems hard to get my schedule to work out. I am taking some classes during the summer at a junior college to compensate.

The sororities/fraternities can be the most annoying thing on campus. Members can some times be rude and obnoxious, and others can be just cruel.
