University of Akron Main Campus Top Questions

Sometimes some of the professors push students too hard like it is not okay to fail. Just because someone fails does not make them stupid.

Cost of housing - food

I was born in Florida, which means that I have no love for the cold. This is a bad thing since the University of Akron has a very cold campus in the wintertime. The most frustrating is waiting for the campus bus (the Roo) during an extremely cold day.

The most frustrating thing about this school is the cost of tuition. Tuition is unreasonably high and it continues to rise each year.

The most frustrating thing about the University of Akron is two fold. The lack of space for parking at main campus is horrendous. At the wrong time of day, good luck finding a parking spot. The other aspect of that is, even with all of the sub-branches of the University of Akron and with room to expand at at least one of the branches, only a few minor full-degree programs are offered at these branches.

The administration really urks me, especially in the financial aid office. They are there to help you, but they don't do that. All they do is give you additude and make you feel like you are a bother.

The most frustrating thing about this school is the fact that you can study for a test 1 day in advance and still do well on it. The prfessors here don't push students hard enough and there isnt enough creative thinking or discussion. In class, the teacher lectures and students listen. When the lecture is over we leave. I think there needs to be more application of the the material we are learning and less learn, memorize, test and then dump the material.

Parking. Lack of it. Also, they don't turn they air conditioning on until april 30th...or something like that. So if it gets really hot outside then everything is hot.

The most frustrating this is that it is not as beautiful as it could be. The university tries, but I want to be proud of the way that the campus looks. It is an urban environment, but it does not need to be ugly.

The website for scheduling your classes could be better and i wish we could use the rec center during off school time (winter break, summer, ect.).
