Boise State University Top Questions

The fall season's long term is the most frustrating. Prepare yourself with stress management techniques that are healthy for you. Do not be afraid to ask for assistance if you need it, there are all kinds of programs available to help you handle the problems that arise. Don't be afraid to communicate with your fellow students and teachers. Everyone is under the same stressers and sharing caring is a great way to overcome the pressures.

Meeting the desired grade point average from your choice of university to transfer to.

I feel that sometimes the football and athletic programs get in the way of the academic portion of the school. It seems unfair that while I pay to go to school and pay for parking I can be told not to park in convienent areas because of a football game. I know that the athletic programs benefit the schools by gaining atteention and allowing for more academic possibilities and programs but it frustrating to feel that as an individual student not in athletic programs my academic progress is somehow less important.

Some of the students that i see attending school take education for grantite. Knowlede is a very special privalege and I take it seriously. I don't like seeing students showing up late, hung-over, and not turning in work. I'm there to learn and brighten my future. I'm highly motivated and bring my needed materials to class. I follow the syllubus and believe the rest of my peers should as well.

The most frustrating thing about our school is the smokers on campus. They smoke outside of buildings and it's very common to walk through somebody's huge puff of smoke on your way to class. It smells and gets stuck in your lungs and the cigarette butts are littered all over the campus.

I have a difficult time contacting my advisor, and it can be very difficult to get the classes needed for my major.

The thing that I have the hardest time with is dealing with the administration. No one seems to know what is going on and who you need to see in order to get your questions answered. I have tried many times to work with the financial aid office to find scholorships and financial aid and I have yet to recieve a valid answer from any of them. It is very frustrating.

The fact that a large number of my transfer credits will not count toward my degree.

The most frustrating thing about my school is the criteria delegated for most scholarships. For many scholarships, an applicant must be in need of the money financially, have a learning disorder, in the military, a single parent, be ethnically diverse, or a first generation student. I meet none of the above requirements, so it is difficult for me to be awarded scholarships, even though I would greatly appreciate any money granted to me (since my parents "supposedly" make too much money together, i.e. they should be able to support all four of their children attending colleges simultaneously).

The most frustrating thing about my school is when professors cannot or will not make themselves easily accessible to students. It's very discouraging when professors expect their students to achieve academic excellence when they either do not offer office hours, or do not make themselves available during their office hours.
