Saint Cloud State University Top Questions

The most frustrating thing about earning my undergraduate degree at Saint Cloud State University was paying back all the loans I took out to receive my degree.

This school doesn't have much of a reputation; as such, it will be important for me to find other ways to distinguish myself if I am to apply to graduate programs at more prestigious universities.

The most frustrating thing that i had encountered in St. Cloud State University is finding a job on campus. It's convenient to have a campus job because they can work around your school schedule and it is closer to your classes. Due to the fact that there are thousands of students that goes to St. Cloud State, there are many applicants; therefore, finding a job is very competative.

The most frustrating thing about my school is nothing. Everything is there for you to access.

The most frustrating thing about St. Cloud State University is that there are so many things to do with so little time. There are so many campus events going on that you want to attend every one of them but you have to be aware of your class schedule and consider the time needed for homework assignments and time to study. It’s all about time management and sacrificing those ‘wants’ for ‘needs’. Trying to prioritize and create an effective schedule that works can be really frustrating when there are so many things to do.

My one and only complaint about my school so far is the parking. It is always a battle trying to find space to park on the streets and the parking permit lots are very expensive for a student that is already struggling to get tuition paid. I wish that there was a better route to commuting to St. Cloud from the cities so that parking would not be an issue.

The lack of political diversity. I have been kicked down for having my personal political ideology many times at this school and it can be very upsetting at times. That also goes along with the extended emphasis on race and ethnicity classes which just make the line between races more clear as opposed to bringing people together and making them feel like a community.

There is nothing really frustrating to me about this school, but I have heard people complain about the workload on some occasions and money issues. The normal college things people go through at some point in time.

The parking.

The most frustrating thing about Saint Cloud State University is the diversity of professors. I am by no means raciest or against any other race. It is stricity the language barrier of some of the professors. I understand that there are students who can understand these professors clearly, but for me personally, this is my biggest frustration. I get very frustrated when I can't understand what a professor is expecting on an assignment or when he explains something during the class.

My frustrations formed from financial struggles and safety issues surrounding the campus. Not only St. Cloud State University, but all Universities can be dangerous. Although the campus provides Public Safety, I was attacked and robbed just off campus. It was a horrible experience that sent me into a depression, and I felt the Counseling Center did not do a sufficient job. I only had two counseling sessions and feel like I was sent away. My depression worsened with money problems. Although I had a job, I couldn't work enough hours between classes and homework. I'm still struggling.

The most frustrating thing about SCSU is that some of the professors do not speak very good english making it hard to understand them, and some of them just plain do not care about their students.

The most frustarting thing about SCSU is the racial discrimination on campus, just a few weeks ago a great teacher was fired because he was not white. This school can be very racist at times.

The most frustrating aspect of this school is that the alumni don't seem very interested once they graduate. Sure some come back and donate money or other things like that but I would prefer more of a closer bond with those who have graduated from Saint Cloud State University.

its a little far from where i live but that is my choice

I'm taking most of my classes online because I live over an hour away from th campus, and the most frustrating thing for me at SCSU is that some of the professors don't care about their on-line classes. Some of the online classes are disorganized, the technology doesn't always work, the teachers barely respond to your emails, and they basically give you the impression that they care more about the students on campus then those online!!!

It is very hard to find what you are looking for on my school's website.

Honestly, there is not much that I consider frustrating at this university other then the normal stresses of college. I would however, have to say that off campus housing can be frustrating when attending this university. Apartments and houses go very quick and the ones closest to campus are always the prime targets. So you really need to get on top of finding off campus housing early or your top locations will be rented out.

The thing that is the most frustrating for me concerning my school is that fact that the smoking policy isn't really enforced enough. I would love to see St. Cloud become a tobacco free campus. It is very important for me to stay healthy and I definitely support a tobacco free campus.

What's frustrating about Cornish College of the Arts? Only a few small things: the lack of support for composting; and expensive lab fee's
