There are not very many things that would frustrate you at SIUE. The only thing is that once you declare major and in the program your advisor changes. Also getting in to see an advisor for your major is harder to get a hold of and see then it was for the regular advisor.

The high percentage of grades lay in the tests and finals. Say you dont understand an aspect of the class, and fail the test pertaining to that material, then you may not be able to save your grade because a majority of points are allotted to the tests.

Similar to other colleges, the partying that consitently goes on can be very frustrating and tiredsome. It can be a nuisance if you plan on studying within your room. To counteract this I would advise studying in the library, study lounges, or wherever else you deem fit. What can also try ones patience is the disrespect some of the current students have for the schools property (i.e. littering across campus, being inconsiderate of quite hours, etc),however, do not be concerned. This usually occurs at the initial weeks of the semester and disipates as the term goes on.

The school lacks a certain traditional college environment; it is very much a young developing university.

The geese. Just... the geese. They leave their droppings everywhere, and they get really territorial around this time of year. I can't walk around on campus without fearing that a goose is going to come after me! Generally they're pretty docile, but there's a lot of them, and they're SUPER noisy...

One of the most frustrating thing about my school was the class-registuration process at the beginning of each semester. The reason why it was difficult because there are certain classes that are required for certain students in which they had to register for and often times, many other students would get those classes before others did, which would fill the class up to capacity. Therefore, that class was then closed.

The most frustrating thing about Southern Illinois University Edwardsville is that many students do not attend the athletic events. I am a huge sports fan, so I would love to see our arena filled with crazed fans.

The most frustrating thing about SIUE are all the drug abusers. They are very selfish and discourteous. It is very difficult to study when they are partying.

We rent the textbooks, and they are included in the general fees. Thus, we pay to rent them whether we actually need them or not. I also wish there was public transportation from my house to the campus. The parking situation necessitates a great deal of walking, not a bad thing unless the weather is bad and/or I am running late.

It is the cheapest state university in illinois and its lack of funding in the sciences department is very apparent.
