The most frustrating thing about school is the transition from using papers in high school to using computers to recieve ones homework. Its difficult to remind oneself to check their email and homework sites everyday. Its also difficult because all teachers are different, so some prefer to use papers for homework and some prefer to do things online. In order to be successful you have to be extremely organized.

The job availability is exceedingly frustrating on campus. Most jobs only hire students if they have Federal Work Study. However, because my family is middle class FAFSA does not provide a lot for us. Especially with two other sisters and a mom in college at the same time as myself, it is expected that I will help pay for my education as well as things I may need (books, supplies, food, etc). Without having ample job opportunity this is very hard, and makes job search extremely difficult.

The most frustrating thing about UW-Eau Claire is the lack of communication between professors and students. Since our school portal, which gives the ability to post grades and assignments for students viewing, is optional to professors it makes it difficult for the students to keep track of grades, assignments, and accademic standing.

I have not yet attended, so I am not a reliable source for this question.

The strictness of the meal plans and the block meals.

I think the most frustrating thing about my school is tuition. As a college student, everyone struggles with financies and loans.

The police presence is extremely tight compared to other campuses I have heard of. It doesn't feel like they understand what it was like to be young, and they don't take into account that we're college kids.

From what I have experienced so far, the classes really aren't as difficult as one might think they would be. To be honest, the most difficult or frustrating part about being in college is the fact that if you come from a small high school with few/none college credit opportunities like I did, scheduling for each semester becomes quite a challenge. I am very pleased to have gotten into the Honors Society, so now I can hopefully have more priority than I did before. It's one of the benefits of the Honors program.

There are some racism, not enough private places or study places, and there are many people who gather in certain spots.

I believe the most frustrating thing about UW-Eau Claire is the parking allotments given to students. Many students drive to campus because many of them live around the area or outside the area of Eau Claire and must commute to campus. My advice to incoming students or returning students of UWEC is to either get to campus very early in the morning to gain a parking space on the side street, or fork up money for the parking permits...otherwise it's going to be a long bike ride or walk to class!
