What's the most frustrating thing about Hampton University?

Jorden

The most frustrating thing about my school is that some of the teachers do not care about their students. We use a system called blackboard and for my first semester of the six classes I had, only one teacher posted grades. This caused me to not know where I was standing academically in any of my classes. Being so this was very hard on me as a student who constantly had the stress of wondering whether I was passing or failing.

Registering for classes is the most frustrating thing about Hampton University, mainly because you need the help of your advisor to select classes. Also, each upcoming semester you need to receive a new pin to register for next semester. Additionally, there is a scheduled time that you can sign up for your classes online.

The administrative activities (making sure financial aid is correct, registering for classes that full up quickly, etc)

The most frustrating thing about my school is the financial situation. I feel that it’s a business than a school trying to help better my education. At anytime that me or my fellow classmates are behind a schedule payment. The school will threaten to drop our classes or remove you from housing on campus. It’s a very stressful thing, to worry about each semester hoping that my money was receive by the school in a timely manner.

I find it frustrating that we have a grading system that will allow professors to update our grades throughout the semester and let us know how we are doing, and they do not use it. Many of them do not even know how to use the Blackboard program that the school provides to benefit both students and teachers. Also, group projects are big at Hampton and this frustrates me because not all studnets are serious about their work and others have to suffer.

Every college has its good and bad but I cannot completely see what is frustrating because you should ultimately make the college fit ur person needs and not you fit the college needs. If anything should become frustrating than it is with me.

Christine

The most frustrating thing about my school is at times there is not enough activites to be involved with during the weekend. There may be events that are happening but becaue I a ma freshman , I can't get to them due to them being off campus.

Jasmine

The most frustrating thing about my school would be the "Freshman run-around."

Erika

The most frustrating thing about my school is the fact that there is always some kind of process that a person must go through in order to get something done. My friends and I call it "The Hampton Run-around." It is a hassle trying to get everything done by a particular deadline when the staff has students running all over campus just to get a paper signed. That is the only thing that frustrates me about my school.

Genay

The most frustrating thing about my school is the amount of work. College professors assign assignments that can and will take a lot of time to complete, but expect the work to be done within 24 hours. Also, comming fresh out of highschool there are and will be some skills that a highschool did not learn, but the professors expect you to know it and if you dont.............LEARN IT and fast.
