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

    I consider the worst thing about Bishop State Community College to be the issue of communication. The majority of the time it is nearly impossible to contact appropriate members of the staff, (even proffessors), in order to get necessary information and/or to ask questions. Unfortunately, I feel that this frustrating fact is all too often present in many other institutions as well. I also believe that this concern requires attention, needs improvement and absolutely must change in order to guarantee the overall success of the students, faculty/staff and institution.

    The school has a 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} acceptance rate and that has a tendency to bring in a lot of students with poor prior education and the school is well known for this. Caucasian students are one of the largest minorities in the school which is another accurate stereotype. I've had nothing but positive experiences with the instructors though and I feel like they truly care about the student's education while the stereotype is that they do not care.
