What's the most frustrating thing about Boise State University?

Kady

My schools meal plans. Freshman living in the dorms so my first term I selected a meal plan with the most meals because I truly had no idea how many meals I would eat. By the end of the term I had barely used half of them. The thing of it is, these unused meals don't roll over to the next semester and we students don't get our money back. I rarely make it to the sub, but I have to have a meal plan thats costing me around $1500, because it comes with living in the dorms.

Our campus is not big enough yet to acccommodate the growing student population but the growing process has started and within a few short years, we will be able to have the buildings needed to invite more students to attend.

The most frustrating thing about school for me has been the teachers. Not every teacher you meet is going to be personable or care, but when more than half of your teachers in a semester are like this, it makes life frustrating. I really long for the time when people were more personable, and everyone cared for everyone. Now it just seems that the only person in the world that you can really rely on once in college is yourself. You must accomplish tasks for yourself, and overcome all barriers, such as teachers.,

There is not a huge greek system and it is kind of hard to meet people because a lot of students live at home,

The school seems to care more about the football team doing well than providing enough classes for its 10,000 plus students. It's very hard to find the classes needed to graduate, even when registering just one or two days after registration opens for my grade level.

The most frustrating thing about Boise State University is the size. The size can make it hard to get the classes you need. It can also be difficult to get in contact with faculty and employees to solve any problems you encounter.

Boise State is an awesome school! Students are intelligent, caring, kind and looking toward the future with great hope and determination. In our quest for excellence, the parking situation seemed to be overlooked. There aren't enough on campus parking spaces for those of us who drive. This affects our ease in getting around campus, making it more difficult to get from place to place than it should be. Since Boise State is getting increasingly popular, fixing the parking would be beneficial for everyone involved. GO BRONCOS!

It's a commuter school, so you don't really feel like you belong to anything or anyone at the school. You just go class and that's it.

Academic advising is the most frustrating aspect of Boise State. Many students, including myself, need more from the advisers in order to choose a career path. More commitment, more enthusiasm, more attention would help a lost or confused student decide. Its common for students to change his or her major multiple times (on average) but if the advisors would dedicate themselves, maybe this wouldn't be a problem. I?ve seen three BSU advisors. Maybe it?s in part of my lack of decision, but advisors don't seem to care and I feel as though I might never decide.
