University of Memphis Top Questions

Programs that have little to no interest

I don't really think I find anything about the University of Memphis frustrating so far. My professors have been pretty knowledgeable and understanding and I feel like I'm getting experiences that will help me succeed after college.

Automated phone systems

The most frustrating about being at the University of Memphis is absolutely nothing. A student has to keep mind the primary reason for why they are in college, and do exactly what they need to do in order to graduate. There is lot independency. So a student should be ahead of the game when it comes to his or her academics and financial aid, because the academic counselors will not always be on point with their information.

As staying on campus, joining groups was frustrating. Getting involved in school is an on going situation. College is the place I go when I want to learn from some of the worlds brightest. Before college, I didn’t want to go because I wanted to go to the Air Force instead; people motivated me to go to school because they know I’m very talented and smart with whatever I do. Making my goals measurable helps me see my progress, recognize if I’m moving in the right direction, and see how far I still need to go.

THE COST OF TUITION IS VERY EXPENSIVE

Prices are so high.

University of Memphis has many great things to offer. As far as the actual school goes I can not think of one thing that I would change. The university is nice and comfortable. It does not make you look at the clock every two minutes waiting for class to be over, because class is actually fun. I would recommend my school to every one. I think it has so much to offer everyone.

I would say that most frustrating thing about The University of Memphis is that the buildings are so far apart that you sometimes have to run to your class.

Thwe library is always crowded with students

The most frustrating thing about my school is the location. I prefer cities while The University of Memphis is in more of a suburban area. I wish it were more accessible to everything and closer to downtown Memphis.

Getting help on the telephone.

The most frustrating thing about the University of Memphis is that most of the school work has to be done online. You have to look up your grades, school work, find out if class will be cancelled the next day, and it all has to be done online. The teachers cancel class without notification. You show up to class on time to find out that class has been cancelled with a notice on the door. That is horrible!

Parking, you have to make sure to beat the train.

The most frustrating thing would be the adjustment to the campus.

too much work

The living dorm conditions and the variety in choice of food.

The most frustrating thing is that the students arent' really friendly. Also, The admin staff doesn't really try to help you - they are all rude!

The campus offices (Financial Aid, Registrar, Admissions, etc.) are far too bureaucratic and do not seem to communicate with each other. The student is expected to find out how things work and solve his own problems with little or no help from any of the offices.

The staff in the financial aid office.

I am going to be an archaeologist and thought there would be a lot of archaeology courses, but sadly there are not.

Its in the middle of the hood and the teachers make the classes to easy

They give out scholarships to people in order to boost their honors program even when they are not qualified for it! Also, the university does not have a lot of scholarships for continuing students so no matter how much yoour GPA improves you can never get anymore money than when you came in with.

I know more about the internet library system than the people working in the library. A lot of people working in the administration (as secretaries, etc) are idiots. It's very frustrating when I ask a question and they have no idea how to answer it.
