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

Bryon

Coming from Hawaii, I am used to seeing a lot of different types of people. When I first went to K-State, it was kind of surprising how similar a lot of the people dressed and looked. Also, they don't always have the asian foods I would like, but other than that it's great!

Patrick

The most frustrating thing at my school is that we do not engage in many multicultural events. I am a minority on a predominantly white campus and I feel as if we should all team up together and start many events in which we all can enjoy!

Jeffrey

The most frustrating thing at K-State is the teacher to student ratio. Classes are so big that it is hard to get face time with your actual instructors. The teachers assistants and graduate students helping with the classes are great, but they are not the ones teaching the actuall class.

Anthony

There is a huge focus on sports and funding sports; meanwhile the academic portions are at times highly neglected. The school should also provide larger scholarships to students...as they promise, but fail to deliver. Yet, they will spend significant amounts to recruit basketball and football stars!

Allison

I would have to say that finding available parking on campus close to your building is the most frustrating thing a student at K-State would have to encounter! Parking passes are fairly costly and even when you have one, you still have to leave quite early to get to class on time if you live off campus. Things were worse my freshman year, but I didn't have to worry about parking when I lived on campus; since then however, K-State has built a parking garage that I used almost every day this past year!

Sara

The most frustrating thing is there does not seem to be too many scholarships available for middle class caucasian students. Just because we are middle class does not mean our parents can pay for our education.

Meghan

Lack of financial aid.

As a transfer student, I thought that the transition would be easier. I haven't made as many friends as I had hoped. People here are fairly to extremely nice and easy to get along with. I'm living as a Junior in the Residence Halls with mostly freshmen, so the maturity isn't quite there as I had hoped.

Randi

The most frustrating thing about KSU is that they only allow ten minutes between classes. If you have back to back classes in different buildings it's really hard to get to the next class on time.

Brandi

The only frustration a student can occur here at K-State is with one's self, because the faculty and staff works with each student. As long as the student is willing to work, then the faculty is work with the student. The frustration comes in when the student decides to procrastinate and everything beings to pile up.
