Illinois State has a tremendous sense of community. The clases range from large lecture halls to small, specialized classes. There are countless clubs and organizations you have the opportunity to join in order to make friends you'll keep for a lifetime. The most frustrating thing about ISU is that once students join an organization, they tend to stay within the imaginary boundaries set. Friends from the radio station interact scarcely with TV students, one sorority won't spend much time with another, or athletes stick to their own teams. I would like to see more interaction and bonding.

Some people here are significantly iggnorant to other peoples feelings. The first day I attended school here a young boy asked me a question and I did not here him speaking to me at first, so he responded back after 1 second, "Do you speak english you mexican". I cried that whole night after that comment.

The most frustrating thing about Illinois State University is that the there are a few buildings that are a horrible walk to in the cold and dark.

The most frustrating thing about my school is the amount of general education requirements. I would rather just like to take the classes needed for my major and minor so I can graduate on time.

Some of the classes are very big, my Geology class has 600 students! Even when there aren't a ton of students there is a often a disconnect between the professor and the students.

The most frustrating part of the school is when our program changes certain requirements in the middle of our time here causing us to possible stay at the school longer than we have to. Some students cannot afford to do that and so they end up dropping out without finishing their degree.

The most frustrating thing about my school is the tuition. I want to better myself so that when I grow up and decide to have a family I will have a career and not a job living paycheck to paycheck. Paying for college is expensive and I wish there were more deductions as well as more help to lower the cost of tuition and make it more affordable so everyone could attend universities and have a successful life.

The most frustrating part about my school is the way it makes promises it can't keep. It said there would be plenty of jobs on campus and I am a sophomore still looking for a job. They also make it seem like they will make everything financially affordable for us but they charge us for every little thing such as books, rec center passes, athletic games, and many other things.
