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.

The most frustrating thing that i had encountered in St. Cloud State University is finding a job on campus.

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’.

My one and only complaint about my school so far is the parking.

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.

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.
