campus food!

that we have to walk so far around on campus

I really hate the focus on greek life. It is useless, and students could be using their time in much more constructive and less drunken ways.

I am having trouble balancing my studies with my social life.

The most frustrating thing about my school is the housing. USM has two off campus dorms that are placed across the street of the school on both sides of the campus. It is very hectic trying to cross the street everyday on a very busy street. Most of the dorms but one are very old and need repairs. I would suggest getting an apartment if afforable after your first year on campus. The freshmen dorms are decent!

There need to be more parking places for students, and better teachers!!!!!!!

The most frustrating thing and probably only frustrating thing at school is the parking for commuters; however in their defense they are working on a solution.

Most of the faculty and staff do not help you at all. Financial Aid is a joke if you are not a certain race.

The most frustrating thing about Southern Miss is the money end of it. The loans do not come in when they are supposed to, neither does state financial aid. This is not always the school's fault, but when a payment is due and the money has not come in there is much added stress. I want the due date for tuition not to be before the semester begins. I simply have a very hard time coming up with the money as do all of my friends.
