Ridiculous Policies

Strictness in your dorm depends on your resident advisors/directors, most of whom are students. They are extremely strict about underage drinking and drug use in the freshmen dorms. As of now, of-age drinking is restricted to one's own room (don't get caught with a beer in common areas, no matter the ages of those around). Campus officers are extremely rude to students. Parking violations are also enforced strictly, and the appeals board rarely ever appeals a ticket, even if valid reasons are given.

Timing Can Be Improved

The process to obtain financial aid has been pretty standard for me since I entered. The financial aid office reminds me every year to fill out my FAFSA as early in the new year as possible. They let me know which forms I need to fill out. However, our W-2 forms (for working for the college) that are required for our FAFSA are not given to us until the end of January, delaying the FAFSA process. Also, financial aid is given to incoming students first, so returning students do not know what kind of aid they have until after giving in our non-refundable deposit of $300 for the next semester.
