What's the most frustrating thing about University of South Carolina-Columbia?

The most frustrating thing about University of South Carolina is the time schedule of the Russell House dining hall. The food is not very good at all and to make things worse, it has weird hours. There are several fast food eateries to make up for the generic school food, but these establishments are hardly ever open. And, when they are open, many students flock to eat there; there is always a crowd. I think we either need to extend there hours and cut the hours of the generic food, or bring more fast food chains to the Russell House.

I will be attending in fall, so there have been no frustrations yet.

The police officers who would rather hang out at a gas station then actually do police work.

The IT system here is really pretty bad. The internet server is always having problems and will randomly decide to just stop working when we're in the middle of a lecture in class. Also, the university union hours kind of stink because they stop serving meals at certain times (i.e. breakfast is from 7:30-11am) so when the big football game is over and everyone's hungry, we go for some dinner at 8:05pm and the union is closed.

The most frustrating thing would have to be the fact that I have to pay for 2 extra years of schooling in order to get all the prerequisites out of the way, despite the fact they have nothing to do with my major.

I don't have a car on campus so I'm walking everywhere- and when it rains out the school has these GIANT puddles everywhere!

THe most frustrating thing about the University of South Carolina is the student parking. Parking is frustrating because there are not enough parking lots for students to park in with a basic student sticker. We do have garages but they cost on average $300 for a spot per semester. Some students drive around for aboutfive minutes or more trying to find parking and can't or where you are able to park is not close to any of your classes.

The parking! You can either buy a parking pass and take the shuttle or you can walk or you can pay the meter. There's not enough parking though.

The most frustrating thing is probably the meal plan. You can only swipe your card once betweene certain hours for breakfast lunch and dinner. If you want more you have to pay for it separately. A lot of time some of the eating places are not open so you get jipped out of a meal. If you don't use a meal it just goes away.

The most frustrating thing at the University of South Carolina would have to be parking availability. If you do not pay the expensive cost to get a garage parking spot, then you usually have trouble finding a parking area near where you need to be. The bigger parking lots are on the edges of campus and a fairly good distance from most places.
