What's the most frustrating thing about University of St Thomas-Saint Paul?

Annie

The most frustrating thing about school is trying to get into on campus housing.

Red tape. There is no one that I can go to who can make an exception to a rule for me so that I can get a better education. Sometimes there are instances in which the rules apply in ways that they were never intended to, and it helps to have someone that can look at each specific situation and make adjustments to certain unnecessary restrictions so that students can achieve their goals with significantly less hassle and wasted time and effort.

The frustrating thing about the University of Saint Thomas is getting to know other students. It seems as though within the first 2 weeks of school everyone has already made their group of friends and you are pretty much "stuck" with them. The cliques never break up and everyone else seems to be happy with their group and if you aren't you are left in the dust. The students aren't always friends and activities are awkward and difficult to find.

Ian

The most frustrating thing about this school is that people are "clicky". When you go out to a social even, its not like anyone to come up to you just to meet you. No one really cares about meeting anyone. People generally stick to themselves and to their own kind. Sometimes you even feel unwelcome just because the atmosphere and vibe. It's really too bad that this is the way it is, but doesn't bother me that much because i have found a good group of friends. Ironically, and sadly, I am now a part of this trend.

There is no women's rugby team.

Jordan

The amazingly high cost of tuition per year, and how I can't seem to find any help or other resources for extra financial aid.

Michael

The most frustrating thing about this university is the cost of tuition. Although they do provide financial assistance, I still came out oweing about one full years tuition. Which last time I checked was around $35,000.

Joshua

The most frustrating aspect of this school is the lack of available parking. Parking that is available is severly over priced.

John

Although i have grown up in the north country, it would be nice to attend a school in a warmer climate. Walking to classes at 10 below zero can be awfully cold.

Sarah

The cost of attendane is infuriatingly high for an education in a field of study that the school places little importance upon. Instead of going to support my field of study and interests, I feel that the money I have spent on my education instead went towards furthering the school's desire for strong math, science, and business programs, sports facilities, and parking ramps. Recieving financial aid to pay for the cost of education has added to this frustration because the school offers less every year for returning students.
