As a person very grounded in my faith in God, I find the fact that this doesn't truly feel like a Christian school very frustrating, and even discouraging. The amount of drinking, partying, and destructive behavior is ridiculous. People complain about the state of the dorms, or the low-quality of the school and facilities. But a college is primarily made of up people, so if students stepped up and took responsibility for their school, their peers, and themselves, this school would be a better place. And turning first and foremost to God is the first place to start.

The small size of Augustana College can also be restricting for students. Minority students may have difficulty relating to other students.

The worst thing about the school is the food service is sometimes hit or miss. The meals are usually pretty good, but some days its hard to find good meals.

I would consider the worst thing about Augustana to be how similar it resembles high school at times. Because it is a smaller school it is easier for people to fall into the cliques and stereotypes of high school.

The worst thing about my school is the price! I realize that I signed up to pay for it, but after actually attending, I have started to realize how much I am actually paying to go here. I think Augie is a great school, but sometimes I wonder if the quality of the experience is worth the amount we are paying.
Taylor
Underage alcohol consumption is what I consider the worst thing about my school. My school is supposed to be a dry campus, however, there is a lot of alcohol consumption. It is not a good decision to be making and it does not reflect on any of Augustana's core values.

The worst thing about Augustana is the temperature in the dorms, especially at night. My roommate and I often leave our window open all night long just because the room is too hot and it is difficult to sleep. Class-wise, there are very few negatives.

that its not too divers.

The worst thing about Augustana is the price. Many people are turned away at such a high price that they don't even try to look into getting financial aid. I too was looking somewhere else because the price, even with some scholarships, was almost unacceptable. However, look past the price and know that if you need for financial aid you can get it.

The worst thing is not having undergroudn tunnels that are safe because it gets very cold and even though the campus isn't very big you still freeze fairly quickly.
