The most frustrating thing about attending the University of Alabama is that most people will assume you are either a partier or a jock. The school is notorious for being a "fun school with a great football team"; it doesn't receive enough credit for the wonderful academics offered. The stigma is one that has to be worked past and falsified unlike most schools where schools don't have to contend with it at all.

The most frustrating thing about school is that we have to buy a really expensive meal plan our first year. I had a whole lot of left over meals at the end of the year and they don't roll over to the next year so it was a waste of money.

The most frustrating thing about my school is that the students drink alcohol and do drugs too much. It's mostly done on the weekends, but the groups usually get too loud and wild while they "party".

Right now I have a broken jaw and cannot speak well so it is very hard to socialize.

The math department--all the work is computerized.

My only complaint about the university of Alabama is the parking and how the parking spots are always hard to find but considering we have over 25,000 students you really cant complain

In spite of the many extra-curricular activities sponsored by my univeristy, there seems to be a barrier surrounding certain organizations that prevent many talented and interested students from obtaining membership. For example, the SGA is reserved for the majority of Caucasian male and female students in fraternities and sororities which control decision making bodies and influence faculty and administration. In addition the SGA also contols Homecoming Queen elections and SGA elections which are never representative of the campus as a whole. Many students feel that their voice is never heard and tend to not cast ballots at elections.

In my two years of attending the University of Alabama, I have found parking to be frustrating. On one occasion, the designated parking area I was supposed to park in was full. I had to park in a different area and I received a parking ticket. Now I live close to campus and I can walk to all of my classes.

The only frustrating thing that I have found is the cost for out-of-state students. I love everything about the university, but it is really hard since I am not an Alabama resident.

Personally, coming from the north, I do not quite fit in with the southern life, but it is nothing that would make me change my mind about attending this school. On a larger opinionated scale, the size of this school could easily be much too large and crowded for many peoples liking.
