What's the most frustrating thing about Spring Arbor University?

Samantha

The most frustrating thing about my school is that there is a high cost to attend there which puts stress on me as I strive to be able to afford my tuition.

We have open hours where people of the opposite gender can come into the dorms. This is frustrating because not all people are going to do the things that they make this rule to avoid. Sometime you need to study and it is just more convient to have them in your room, or if they are good friends! I understand the rule i just wish it was changed and made a bit more lenient .

One thing that is frustrating about school is the cost. I know God wants me to be at Spring Arbor University. However, the cost of Spring Arbor is $28,500 a year. Though I get some scholarship money from the university, it's very little. Sometimes, I believe, college tuition cost can be outrageous. People can obtain a degree in two years at a Community College, a fourth of the cost of Spring Arbor. The tuition rate will only rise and find ways to take money out of the hands of students. The cost of the Spring Arbor is outrageous!

There are lots of requirements that must be met when going to Spring Arbor University, that if a student does not give there full attention to, they can become very frustrated in a hurry. If you do not know what cross cultural trip to go on, you could get stuck going on a trip that you wouldn't enjoy. Figure out what you want and go for it.

If I absolutely had to find even one aspect of Spring Arbor University that I would consider frustrating I would say that the cost of tuition is quite taxing. At just over $27,000 a year, affording four years becomes quite pricey, especially with the state of the economy. However, being a private institution, financial aid, scholarships, and grants are typically prevalent with commited help and guidance from advisors.

Kendra

The most frustrating this is the open hours during the week and weekends. I am frustrate that it is only twice a week and for 3 hours. They dont have open hours for Friday nights, and that is annoying to me.

Marcia

The many particular rules that are set in place over the students are frustrating at some points. There should be a middle ground between safety and rules set in place to potentially eliminate detrimental events from happening, and freedom to live out mistakes in one's life.

Rebecca

It frustrates me that my school is racially/ethinically non-diverse. More diversity would promote greater learning in and out of the classroom, more cultural-sensitivity and appreciation, and increased opportunity to build relationships with people from different backgrounds. Even though the lack of diversity is frustrating, it is being gradually remedied by constant efforts of our Multi-Cultural Office and through discussions (formal and informal) of race issues among student and faculty groups.

Courtney

The cost, I come from a family who lives pay-check to pay-check. The cost is killing them, but it is one of the few colleges in the area that offer my major.

Allison

I would say that the most frustrating thing about my school is that we are not allowed to live off of campus until we are 22 years old, which for most of us is in our senior year. It becomes a hassle because campus living can get expensive. Sometimes it gets frustrating with loans and financial expenses that you owe the school and it could be less expensive if you did not have to pay so much for campus living. An apartment with some friends could be cheaper than living on campus.
