What's the most frustrating thing about University of Maryland-College Park?

Campus is large so walking from one class to another could almost seem endless; but really, it's not all that bad.

The school administration isn't the most efficient. It is horrible to deal with financial aid people and the bursar's office as they sometimes just make you run around in circles. Also, the registration process is frustrating for underclassmen as they have to wait months to be able to register. It's hard to get the classes you want at times.

Everything is so expensive here! I can't imagine it's much different at any other college, but everything from food to school supplies to books is relatively more expensive on campus than it is at home. Just something to think about...

The students don't seem very passionate about learning. In classes there isn't much thoughtful discussion and everyone just seems to want to get out as soon as possible.

The most fustratingthing about collge is the amount of hard work one does in preparation of a test, and the teacher either throws a curveball on the exam, or the material on that one exam is completely different form another lecture, even though it is the same class. A lot of my friends feel the same way. We don’t think our grade should be a direct reflection of our teacher or TA's, but rather how much we prepare ourselves to be tested upon the actual material which is suppose to be a springboard for the classes that follow.

there's just so many people here, it's hard to distinguish myself from all the competition for tryouts for things like a cappella groups, stage productions, etc.

The lack of focus on the academically excellent students due to focus on athletes

The most frustrating thing about my school is all the administrative work that is needed in order to register for classes.

i dont know yet i will start this school in aug. 2010 for the first time before that i went to Prience Goeges community college. At PGCC things went okay the only thing i can say is that some teachers are better then others and that some are there to really teach you and enjoy their job. staff can be rude and not helpful and many ways.
