The most frustrating thing at my school for some students can be the challenge of enrolling in the classes they need. Due to the budget crisis classes are being cut and it can be more difficult to take the right classes during the right semester. However, the university does attempt to ease this problem for students by opening up new sections of classes sometimes when the class is extremely impacted.

With the California budget cuts, the bureaucratic machinery which runs the school is running a more clunky than usual. Plenty of services are available, but with the budget cutbacks, many are having to cut back on their outreach programs and have had to cancel events and programs. The budget crisis has even forced professors to take several furlough days off a semester which may sound like a nice vacation, but it actually impedes the educational process. Considering the fee hikes of the last few years, getting less education for one's money isn't really something to celebrate.

The most frustrating thing about my school is the lack of classes available to students. There are very few Honors and Advanced Placement classes. If a student wanted to take one Advanced Placement class it would be close to impossible because the schedule is created so that only those who are in the honor roll system can take it. For example, all of the AP classes are laid out so that it would only work for students who are in the honor roll programs, this creates differents groups of students at school based on academic success.

Regardless of how much money is given to students each semester, financial aid is always short for student to purchase books, unaware that students can't afford to pay dorm or commuting expenses, and difficult to give out money when students have to meet deadlines.

i think the frustrating thing about my school is the class we have to take in order to be able to go into our major. for example, the nursing program requires students to finish the ge requirements and some other mandatory classes but sometimes it may change. Also it would be picking classes and the process we go through to choose these classes.

The most frustrating thing about California State University at Long Beach is that it is sometimes difficult for students who do not live on campus to get involved in enough activities to make friends, so I do not have as many close friendships as I might have if I lived on-campus. Not all activities are geared toward students who live on-campus, but many are....

The most frustrating thing about school is that there just isn't enough time in the day to study for 16 units worth of classes, go to work, and have leisure time. So time management is the most frustrating.

The increase in fees, I suppose. There's very little else I can think of that's frustrating.

The most frustrating thing is the lack of classes that are available to take for a semester. The cost of books also makes it diffiuclt to afford the schooling.
