Old Dominion University Top Questions

It is extremely difficult to get any help from the Registrar and Financial Aid offices. They take their time and pass you on to other people, and if you do not physically go to their offices almost daily, then you will spend the better part of the semester dealing with an issue.

The most frustrating thing about my school is the amount of papers you have to do.

Applying for classes. The days before school starts making sure everything is right.

Financial aid and the fact that I can't recieve actually help and not just more loans I have to pay off because my parent make too much money.

Since my school is close to water level, when it rains the campus floods idiculously.

For me, the most frustrating thing at my school is seeing students that don't care about their education. Too many students fail to realize their potential and they put forth too little effort. Unfortunately, many of these students don't realize how important it is that they're in college; mommy and daddy paid for them to be here and they think it's play time.

The housing process is not the best. It is not hard for the freshman to be put into housing, but it is a mad house for the upperclassmen. It was hard for students who had four people trying to live together to all be in one dorm. this was because ramdom people would already be placed in a room leaving only three rooms open.

There is nothing that particularly frustrates me about my school.

Although it is hard for me to find something that frustrates me about my school, I would have to say that the process of housing is a little frustrating. It is based on a point system this year that was really complicated and that left a lot of people who wanted certain housing with their last choice. Otherwise, not very much at all frustrates me about my school.

the weather

While applying for housing, it can get extremely hectic, and the meals that we recieve are not as delectable as they should be due to the amount students are paying for meal plans.

The neighborhoods nearby the school are not the safest of neighborhoods to be walking around in. Also administartors in Financial Aid and Registrar are not the most helpful or friendly people to deal with.

Nothing

I need to find a job on campus because i don't have a car at school but i can never find one. There are some available but they are hard to get because i go home on breaks. It is hard for me to find a way to make money while living at school i end up relying on my savings.

Not enough things to do on the weekends.

The time financial aid gives for a student to come up with monies for the semester...& the high cost of textbooks.

The most frustrating thing about my school is the lack of parking. As a commuter, I don't appreciate when the school blocks off three of the five levels of the parking garage for an open house or an event at the convocation center. I pay a lot of money for my parking permit and I still have hard time parking.

Teachers only lecture. Need to teach more.

Parking and housing.

The area is not the best; there's a good amount of crime, gangs, etc. because it is not a closed campus.
