The Main Library has some of the best study spaces on campus. It has private rooms for group projects, tons of computers, and even quiet reading rooms with great views. However, the Main Library is always busy! If the student body is to continue to grow year after year, changes should be made to accomodate them in places like the Main Library.

The most frustrating thing, for me, has been living on the west side of campus (dorms: Hillcrest, Reinow, Quadrangle, and Slater). It is quite a hassle to walk across the bridge to get to classes everyday. There is a campus shuttle, but it is very crouded and shows up late 95{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the time, so you have to plan accordingly. The campus is beautiful, but I would suggest to any student that is thinking about going to the University of Iowa to live on the east side of campus (dorms: Burge, Daum, Currier, and Stanley).

The most frustrating thing about my school would have to be the prices of textbooks, as is the same with any other school.

There is a major problem when it comes to alcohol, and the University and City Police are very ineffective in dealing with it. It's against the rules to drink in the dorms even if you are 21, and if you are even caught in the same room with alcohol, you'll get a 500-700 dollar fine. Almost everyone I know here has been in trouble with the police at some point, because they are rabid about ticketing people. It gets old, both the fact that everyone drinks so much, and the overly strict, ineffective attempts to curb it.

In my opinion, the most frustrating thing about attending the University of Iowa is some of the larger lecture class sizes. Even though plenty of office hours are available, as well as e-mail and other assitance resources, trying to learn and concentrate in a large environment can be troubling. It is one of the main aspects that I have had to adjust myself to here at college. I plan to help myself as much as I can to try and avoid falling behind in a large classroon setting this semester.

The most frustrating thing about my school is that many students don't care about getting a better education and being successful later in life. A lot of student's main focus is having a good time by getting drunk and acting irresponsibly.

What's the most frustrating thing...that's hard to answer. I'd have to say the most frustrating aspect of the University of Iowa is the recycling program. The University's recycling program is lacking to say the least. If a student is to recycle, then they have to save up all their recyclables and drive out to a deposit or a grocery store and turn everything in. If there was even a bin on every dorm floor, or in every classroom, I'd feel much better about what I throw away.

The most frustrating thing about my school is knowing that we're in the Top Ten Party Schools. It's ridiculous to see so many people dress up and go to the bars most of the nights. I feel like there's a lot of peer pressure forced on me and other students to go drink and party.

Taking classes that I won't need for my profession.
