What's the most frustrating thing about Howard University?

Tatiana

The most frustrating thing about my school is the administative building

Nicole

The visitation policy is extremely restrictive. The friends that I made lived in the dorm right next to mine. This would have been okay except that meant that I couldn't go see them whenever I wanted. Vistitaion was often limited to certain times of the day. Also I couldn't see them before noon or after midnight because vistiation was over.

The administration doesn't seem to take the concerns of the students very seriously. They're not very professional and extremely impatient.

Hannah

The most frustrating thing that I find about my school is the fact that they are slow-moving about almost everything that happens on campus; however, when the time comes for bills to be paid to the school, administration is quick to place holds on accounts for having a remaining balance. Essentially, it can appear at times that the university is solely focused on getting paid.

The most frustrating thing about Howard University is without a doubt, registration. Registering for classes is almost as hard as staying in to study on a Saturday night when everyone's partying, but at the end of the day it's something you have to do. Registration is difficult because of the lack of space in classes so as a freshman the classes you need, often fill fast. While most of the students here can agree, they love the close and interactive environment of a small classroom when it comes time to register it is what we hate the most.

Sean

The most frustrating thing about my school is the decreasing of assistance that is given once the school year starts. When it comes to housing and financial aid, they seem to have the most problems with being able to keep students, new and continuing, from having to take the semester off or leave the university. They always say there is nothing they can do and it doesn't make any sense to me as well as other students.

Administration and Financial Aid. There is a lack of communcation between those who operate the university and teh student body. The lack of communcation causes fustration, confusion, and some hostility.
