Coastal Carolina University Top Questions

That we are treated as high schoolers and not college students. I thought we would be treated more as adults and it was disappointing!

Faculty seems to never care or never want to help. Finacial Aid and scholarships are impossible to find and the Coastal Carolina Finacial Aid center never helps. Finding jobs on campus to help pay for tuition is impossible to find. School is also expanding too big too fast. I went to Coastal because you were a big fish in a little sea, and now students are becoming just a number.

The most frustrating thing at my school is the parking. This may seem like a minor detail and it is but many students complain that they do not have enough parking here. Realistically, other schools provide more parking but the parking is more expensive and farther away from campus. Although the parking is very frustrating, with the right amount of planning and time it can be manageable.

Dealing with teachers who do not know English well, yet attempt to teach a course dependant on spoken word.

I would have to say that making sure all of the doccuments are in place and correct for aid. When you talk to the office you get a different person every time and they do not all give the same advice. When it comes to money at CCU it is your job to make sure they are doing theirs.

Not knowing anyone and not being able to make friends.

There are many various activties avaliable during the weekends and weekdays. This may make it frustrating to balance social events with your schoolwork. Sometimes it is hard to focus on one's schoolwork.

The most frustrating thing about my school is how outdated are gym facilities are.

The most frustrating thing about my school is that the tutition is so high. I am an in-state student and being a full-time student here is still expensive. I try my hardest to find scholarships to help pay for my education so I can enjoy my time here at school and my parents can enjoy my time here as well without worrying about how we are going to make the payments.

Although the university offers many extracurricular activities and clubs, only a small percentage of students are involved. This makes it so that the various organizations are not well publicized, and it's difficult for students to participate in campus life. I am about to be a second semester sophomore and have not been able to join any clubs, except for dance, because I learn about them too late or they interfere with my class schedule. The campus does not seem very unified because of this problem.

The most frustrating thing about my school is the student parking. I find it ridiculous that we must drive around for over 20 minutes to fight over a parking spot. Also I think the officers need to be more strict on people who park in the commuter parking lots, their are residents parking there and they live on campus it literally takes them five minutes to get anywhere on campus.

The amount of parking for students. Each year the Student Goverment would work with the University to work on different scenarios to resolve the issue, it is actively being worked on.

I love many things about this university: the professors, advisors, classes, location, etc. To be quite honest, the most frustrating thing about CCU is the parking. There is HARDLY enough parking for all the students commuting to and from school.

My first year, I was suppose to be in an apartment with some other students I met during orientation. When I got to the Coastal on move in weekend, I found out that I was in a 2 room dorm with 2 other students that I didn't know. It was very cramped. I was told that due to the overwhelming amount of incoming freshman that housing was an issue. As it turned out, one of my roommates left and the other turned out to be a great guy.

Many people are from out of state and tend to act like it is their old hometown. Many of which cannot drive.

The runaround you get when you have a problem or need information. Everyone seems to send you to someone else and no one ever has a solution to your problem. I have constantly gotten contradictory information from different administrators, professors and faculty members.

The first year is the hardest and most frustrating for me. You have to learn where you fit in or belong. Most students are out of state so no one really knows anyone else. Finding your niche was frustrating for me because I really didn't know who I was when I first arrived at Coastal.

Sometimes, parking is hard to find, but they are working on that.

They are cracking down on parties. Also there could be more campus involvment from the students becasue most all involvement is done by a select group of people that paricipate a lot.

Parking! Our university is growing at a rapid pace, and freshmen are permitted to have cars on campus. Parking spots are scarce, and students become easily frustrated when looking for a spot before classes.
