North Carolina A & T State University Top Questions

The most frustrating thing about my school is finding money to support my education. Since I come from a middle class family, the government and financial aid do not provide me with any funding. In high school and in college, I worked extremely hard to maintain above average grades, and I got involved in student activities. Although I had great attributes, it still seemed it was not enough to receive merit based aid. College nowadays is very competitive, and I understand that. However, I wish my school would focus more on my merit than my social status to receive scholarships.

I would have to say that the most frustrating thing at my school would have to be how some of my teachers fail to put grades in on time.

The most frustrating thing about my school is financial aid. Lines can be very long and take time to have someone talk to you. If yu are an out of state student it will be very hard to get state money, be considered instate, and get financial aid. Do your financial aid early because it goes fast. I dont get any financial aid from this school except for loans and I can only take them out this year at this amount.

There were not many things if any thing frusterating about my school. The only one thing I could say would be frusterating is I lived in a dorm room for one year that was on the 23rd floor, so taking the elevator was a pain sometimes. Other than that I loved this school! Excellent learning experiences, great life experiences meeting and working with others, and amazing being able to grow as a person and form into an adult.

The campus is so spread out and it can take up to 10 minutes to get to your next class

The most frustrating thing about NC A&T to me is the attitude of some of the students here. Some of the students here feel that college is nothing but fun, do not get me wrong college is a place of fun, but there are times of seriousness as well. I feel like there are times for fun and times to buckle down and focus on your studies, you just have to know when hose times are.

I would say the most frustrating problem that students have at our school is dealing with the financial aid department. It seems like the staff in the financial aid department give students the run around and are reluctant to help. Students have a too familiar problem with their classes being dropped because even though the bill was paid the system does not recognize it till a few days later.

Not having a car when wanting to get off campus.

For me, the most frustrating thing about my school is the administration. At times they are on top of things but for the most part students have to almost harass them to do their job. It can be very frustrating to get things turned inor signed when you are forced to stop all that you are doing on a regualar school day to track down someone in the administration, just so you can be sure that all of your documents are correctly filed.

The most frustrating thing about my schoolin the finacial aid process. Over the summer it is usually a long gruely process to determine how much money you are getting from your school and how much you owe. You usually have to make last minutes decisions and it is a constant scamble to find the money to finish school.

Seeing D-1 schools on tv, and longing for that type of interaction on campus. The alumni here are strong, and the students have much school spirit, but the depth of the campus compared to those schools just isn't there.

The most frustrating thing i notice about my school, is the selfishness of the students and the faculity. Everyone expresses there "Aggie Pride," our school catch phrase, at a drop of a dime, because they love the school, but no one hardly ever gives back. Our alumni that gives back , that makes donations; falls under 15{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c}, and its sickening. And when asking students that attend currently, will they give back when they graduate, they respond unheartedly, with no valid reason to why not. It hurts to hear such ignorance, in my generation of people.
