What's the most frustrating thing about University of Kansas?

Alexandra

It is a large number of students that are enrolled here and it is hard to get a good group of friends if you aren't involved with different organizations; be that sororities or fraternities or campus or religious clubs.

I am currently frustrated the University's lack of effort in remaining affordable for students. It seems like everything here is overpriced for already in-debt students. Simple spiral notebooks for classes cost no less than $5 at the University Book Store when in my hometown of Overland Park, they could be found for less for the same amount. Drinking water is also over-priced; most especially flavored water costing double what it normally is in other communities. KU recently cancelled its two-year housing contracts, preventing students from locking in on already inflating on-campus housing costs.

In college, more people voice their opinions and ideas more widely. I have adjust to this and be patient with certain people that held views that were different from mine. The high school I attended, more people held the same views and me since I went to a school that was dedicated to a faith. Sometimes it was hard to believe that someone could be in favor of certain views. Through these experiences, I have learned to be more patient and show more passion for what I believe in.

So far, 3 of the 5 professors I have had were mediocre at best. The math department is almost entirely foreign, which makes for language barriers.

I think KU is a great choice for my college career but, if I were to find one thing frustrating, I would have to say, as a sports fan, the proceedure to get into the fieldhouse for a basketball game. I can't even imagine how much worse it it going to get as we start the Big 12 league games. Of course, the reason for the hassle is due to the excellance of our team so I really can't complain too much at all!

Angie

The most frustrating thing about my school is the distance of the campus from my house. Luckily there are online and off-campus classes.

Brittaniee

Advising could be better and more finanical aid like grants and scholarships.

Marla

The most frustrating thing is the way they do enrollment here. Seniors get to enroll first and so on until you get to the freshman but often times all the classes I need are full by the time my enrollment time comes around.

Travis

The most frustrating thing right now would definitely be how expensive living is near campus if you're looking to get a house.

Ally

The amount of homework
