University of Toledo Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?

Dhathry

There are some chuvanistic teachers who belittle women.

SAHR

The job availability because since my mom can't afford all of my college needs, i wanted to get a job on campus but it is very difficult.

LaMonica

The worst thing about my school would be parking, for freshmen we have to park off campus at scott park and its very time consuming and fustrating.

Laura

The university is not located in a great area which may drive some potential applicants away. I feel like the area around campus is gradually declining from the East side. It is important for students to feel safe on and around campus throughout all times of the day.

Yetunde

The worst thing about the school I am about to start is that it is unfamiliar. Also, I am not too crazy about Ohio weather.

Caitlyn

There seems to be no life in this college.; very bland campus overall. The main campus has way too many large classrooms with teachers that seem to have lost their passion for their subject. I love that I am in the Fine Arts program here because there is a lot more substance to the classes than the main campus. I wish the other university students could experience some of the ideas and conceptual learning that the Art Department teaches.

Alexis

The worst thing about my school that i notice is that it seems very segerated. It seems like all of the different cultures and races stay together. As i walk pass the hallways around the school i usually will see a group of only inidains together, whites, blacks, chinese, gays,ect. Its not like that all the time but i notice it alot around campus.

Emily

Only ten minutes in between classes is the worst part about the University of Toledo. It is difficult to walk in between building and head to your classes in ten minutes.

Laura

I came to the University of Toledo with no expectations, simply because I had no idea what college was all about. Thus far, it has proven to be a wonderful experience. It is hard to say what Iconsider to be the worst thing about my school, simply because there are not a lot. But, because I have to choose, I guess I would say that it is not challenging enough. I am not the smartest, or brightest student, but I do not feel challenged, even at 2000, and 3000 level classes.

Peter

Lack of safety. I feel endangered walking around campus during the day.

Quentin

Well really there is nothing I can see that is to bad at the university of Toledo, because they are proud to help us with any problems we have they will work around it for us. They want the best for us.

valerie

the worst thing about my school is the price of the books they are to high and a lot of people cant afford them

Victoria

This school is very liberal, and being a conservative, it is very difficult.

Dan

There is NO worst thing.

Tamar

I would have to say our small cafeteria! it sucks we could use some remolding

Andrea

The worst thing I would say is the room space in the dorms. I think they should be bigger and made better so you cannot hear other around you. Not completely block the sound out in case of an emergency, but to make it easier to study and enjoy time alone without hearing all your roommates around you. It makes it hard to concentrate when you are a person who studies in your dorm instead of elsewhere.

Eric

The worst thing about my school is the quality of food - although it is still not an issue. Although cafeteria food in the residence halls are very standard, I still feel safe eating there. There are other options such as Subway, KFC and Magic Wok - which I prefer. However lines for these food services can be very long.

Kiah

I would consider the food to be the worst thing about UT. I think the food should be fresh and have more variety.

Julia

CRU

Chiamaka

I would consider the worst thing at my school would be the lack of aid provided to those students who may not be on top of their work. Although students in college are now adults some of the freshmans and sophmores still have not transitioned themselves into college and its a hard process which makes it hard for them to meet the grade requirements. Also the food, the school publicizes the food as good and nutritious but I feel like they take our hard earned money and feed us crap!

Brittnay

There's no hockey team. I honestly couldn't care less about football or basketball or baseball, those sports bore me to tears (I would try to go, and always want to leave during half-time or 4th inning, or whatever the mid-mark happened to be. Hockey keeps me intrigued the whole time, and it saddened me that I couldn't use my student ID to get into a hockey game for free. That and the cafeteria food. I would get the cheapest meal plan, and still have leftovers by the end of the semester.

Anthony

More learning resources for students who struggle with lecture courses and are more hands on. There could also be more places around campus for students to go and have fun, especially if they have no car.

Caitlin

My experience with academic advisory was not that great.

Rachael

The worst thing about my school would be the fact that a good amount of professors do not speak English as a first language. This makes it extremely difficult in advanced classes, because when you do not understand what professors are saying, it makes learning from the professor much harder.

Melissa

I think safety is defintly an issue. I have gotten numerous emails with safety alerts about students being attacked or robbed. I can tell you I do not feel comfortable walking to my car by myself. I think the campus security is trying but you never see them around campis and is does not make me feel safe!

Allison

windy in the winter time - overall weather

Jessica

Parking availability is the only major issue that I feel the campus must address at some point VERY SOON.

Jessica

the cost, it cost so much for some degrees that you can get alot other places for cheaper

Savannah

I consider the worst thing about my school is the crime. I often recieve e-mails from my school reporting that there was a crime on campus and safety measures to take. I never see these incidents, and have only heard about a few. If our crime rate is as often as I get those e-mails, then that is the worst thing about my school.

Caleb

Negative attitudes at the school because of the crime in the surrounding neighborhoods. Much of the student population lives in poorer neighborhoods surrounding campus, side-by-side with non-student households. Home robbery and car theft are extremely common, and rarely are any cases investigated.

Jennifer

The crime rates here have sky rocketed over the last year. So far we've had a bomb threat and a stabbing of two students at one of our campuses. The campus is turning from friendly and safe to discriminatory and violent.

Erica

the lack of parking spaces available on campus.

Curtis

This school is too unorganized and there are far too many professors that can barely speak english.

Sarah

The professors. For some reason Toledo keeps hiring Grad assistants to teach our classes. That's unacceptable. I'm paying thousands of dollars for a good education, and I'm being taught by someone hardly older than I am, who has no Ph.D. That I can get over if they are good, knowledgable instructors. But I can't get over the fact that almost every math instructor CAN'T SPEAK ENGLISH! How are we supposed to learn valuable skills if we can't even understand the instructor. Seriously, this is a huge problem.
