What's the most frustrating thing about Arizona State University-Tempe?

The most frustrating thing that occurred throughout my career at ASU was the struggle to have one specific teacher help me through a difficult class. I went out of my way to seek help from her to succeed in a class that decided whether or not I would graduate. Unfortunately, she did not show the same enthusiasm to assist me with my struggles.

The out of state fee is ridiculous and trying to become a resident is even worse. To become a resident in a state you only have to do a few things, but in order to recieve in state tuition for ASU, there's the crazy process you have to do. I could be consider a resident in Arizona but I'd still have to pay the out of state tuition for ASU. It's just not fair and frustrating.

The cost

The Barrett honors college turns out to be an in group. I believe there may be in-group favoritism going on in the form of allocation of resources and research projects. Additionally, the application process is subjective and varies with time (one of the admissions people even agreed with me that it was).

I am not frustrated with my shcool.

The most frustrating thing about Arizona State University is the high tuition costs. I mean seriously... should it really cost over $1,500 a class when you are not even being taught by the actual professors? I do not believe they even pay the teachers assistants so what is the cost for?

The most frustrating thing about Arizona State University would have to be paying for printing copies. If the school is so big on recycling then paying for copies is unnecessary. Other college campuses allow a student a specific amount on pages to print per year. Also there are enough students who pay tuition. Some people’s tuition can cover the cost of ink. We as students pay for other things we are not aware of.

Arizona State Universitys' Tempe campus is notorious for having more students than available parking space. During certain peak hours it is virtually impossible to find a spot to park. During these times the campus parking and transit department must have a field day given how many people are parked illegally. Im not certain if the Tempe campus is trying to phase out the idea of people commuting to school or if they just want to control the amount of vehicular traffic on the campus. One way or another, if you plan to commute to school, leave your home early.

The most frustating thing here at ASU is the amount of money they charge in additional fees (seperate from tuition costs) especially for Civil Engineering majors. We have to pay an additional $700 per year just for a hands on project that we only do for 6 weeks. Other than that, I love it here at Arizona State as a Civil Engineering major.

Nothing. I absolutely love it here.
