Western Michigan University Top Questions

so far, the hill.

The most frustrating part is that WMU is a large school. There are many large lectures and at times you can feel like just a number and in need of personal advice and assistance.

ok

Lack of assistance when I had a dissability. Getting from one building one one side of the campus to the other in the middle of the winter with a non-walking cast. Also, I do not feel that they school properly prepared me to go into a classroom. They gave me a very generic education which was more intersted in teaching me how to create lesson plans than to cope with real life situations.

Western Michigan University has many qualities both good and bad. However, every school has both good and bad qualities and this is what makes them unique. If I had to pick something frustrating about my school then I would be cutting down some unique qualities that make Western Michigan University the school that it is. I believe that every quality about any school is there for a reason and can help a person learn whether they realize it or not. I can not pick a quality because I have learned from all of my schools qualities, both good and bad..

The most frustrating thing that I have found about the university of Western Michigan is only a few small things such as the how much it rains all the time ,and that if you transferred into the university you have to run around the campus to the different departments to get the approval of the department to get full credit on the transcipts.

The most frustrating thing about my school is the work and the time between each assignment. We have a week to do each assignment or test and the next week it's new material. I believe that's the most frustrating thing about my school.

The most fustrating thing about my school is probably having this thing called elearning...it crashes sometimes and it can be really confusing.

That snow preventing me from going to school/ class.

Sometimes the dispursements of financial aid come at odd or inconvenient times, so that buying books or school supplies can't happen until one or two weeks into the semester. Also, in some majors, classes needed to graduate are only offered one semester out of the year.

The dorm and dining hall system. It has the perk of locking in your rate so you never have to worry about changes in your college budget, but the food is not vegetarian-friendly or very good at all and the housing is not great for how much you already would be paying.

Parking costs

The campus housing needs to be updated.

The most frustrating thing about my school is the price of summer classes. They are far more expensive than classes taken during the Fall and Spring, which makes it hard to get ahead, or catch up.

i think the most frustrating thing about our school is the academic advisors. from my personal experience, i know that they don't always have the best interest in the students, and because of them i have to attend another entire year of school because when they made my schedule for my first semester of school they failed to put me in a class that is a prerequisite for my major and is only offered in the fall. grrrrr.

The lack of financial aid. Its hard to go to school on my own income when there are few to no jobs available.

Professors not being very orgainized and very helpful on when things are due all the time.

The student services for financial aid and healthcare among others are time consuming and often not very helpful.

Parking services are pesty. They seek out anyway they can to get as much $$ money they can from students.

all the snow in the winter and never any snow days! :)
