The worst thing about Southern Illinois University Carbondale is the relaxation on some of the rules and regulations in dorm living. For example some of the students in the dorms are loud and obnoxious well past quiet hours and the RA?s simply ignore them. I found myself at times either trying to go to sleep or trying to study in my room late at night and I couldn?t simply because of the leniency of the rules and regulations in the dorms.

The worst thing about my schoolwould have been dealing with finacial aid, you really had to know what you needed help with or you spent hours of time trying to figure out simple questions. Another thing would be the distance it is from my home I have to drive over four hours to get home and I don't see my family much.

I believe that the worse characteristic of my school is the students partying more than they study. I feel that if we all could just study more and try our best, our grades would rise and so would our school's success. Going to my school is a little hard for some for that simple reason. Some fall prey to the surroundings and then they lose sight of everything. I would like to say keep working hard and do not let your dreams go. Be strong and never give in to your surroundings. I haven't.

The worst thing i guess would have to be the size too. I don't mind walking everywhere on campus and there are buses, but when it gets icey down there it's no fun walking to class.

We had no real internship opportunities. Internships would have helped me get a job when I got out of the Navy right after graduation.

Some of the advisors don't seem to put 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} into their job. However, the remaining advisors make up for it.

The worst thing about my school I would have to say is some of the academic advisors are not as helpful as they could be and are often not available when questions need to be answered.

Some of the professors in this school choose teacher assistants that are not qualified enough to help you with your work so you may need to find help amongst your friends. With the exception of a few exceptional professors some are just impolite and hard to get along with, but it should be noted that anywhere you go, you are sure to encouter these types of people.

As I'm sure is the case in many schools, some students that are admitted and attend their first semester at SIU aren't necessarily ready for college. Personally I've seen a few people on my floor, including my roommate, that choose simply not to go to class. For me it was distracting because my he would sleep through the day and it was hard to get any work done until early evening. However, that is not always the case. I know a lot of driven and dedicated people as well.

The adviesement and faculty are bad about getting you in the classes you need therefore putting you behind on getting your degree. None of the departments communicate with each other. They're mainly focused on the incoming freshman and tend to forget about the upperclassmen therefore not giving them the help that they need to succeed, causing them to leave the school in many circumstances.
