I've only been here *does mental math* four days, and I already have a growing list of peeves about Michigan State, and I know others have things to rant about, too, so here's a thread for just that purpose. Rant your heart out, and know there are others who truly do feel your pain. I'll start.

1) Dorm rooms that are smaller than your closet at home--My bed actually has to be rolled partway under some cabinets during the day, making a sofa-like thing (the cabinets are covered with padding and make up a sofa back. The sofa back is split into two sections, and there's storage area behind the sections, which lift up). It's hot. There's no room for anything. At least it's quiet. And I have Ethernet. But it's still dang small

2) Having to park in East Jesus--I registered for parking today, and you register for a space in a specific lot. All the spaces behind my dorm are long taken, and the only open area is waaaaaaaaaaaaay on the other side of campus. So I'm going to park my car there and ride the bus or my bike everywhere. ARGH! Good thing I got a good bike the other day and bought my unlimited use bus pass this morning...I'm going to need them!

3) Crappy cafeteria food--enough said. It's enough to drive you to break the rules about having cooking elements in your room just so you can get something decent to eat, like Ramen Noodles.

4) Organic Chemestry--evil, evil, evil! WHY do I have to take this? Just give me biochemestry! I'm a zoology major! I don't need to know about plastics and polyesters!

5) The price of textbooks--why, pray tell, must I pay $170 for my organic chemestry book? Why do I only receive $10 when I sell it back? And why do you sell it for $80 used next semester? You, the bookstore, deny pricing to make a profit, but you certainly profit on used books, making us, the students, believe you are liars and out to bleed us dry of our money and we take out loans just to pay for our books. I dropped $507 on texts for four classes this semester. Don't tell me that's not outrageous. My uncle is helping me through college, and I have to go through his lawyer for the money now (long story why), and I sent along a copy of my bookstore receipt so that he could see the figure of $507 I quoted to him in my letter was totally and completely on the level, because who'd believe it otherwise?

Okay, that's all for now. I'm sure I'll think of more later, and you know I'll be making regular additions to this list as the semester goes on.

LMAO! oh my goodness so right! Thank God I never lived on campus all I hear are horror stories!

(1) All science classes are scheduled @ 815 AM or 950 -- why the hell can't we be like the rest of the damn school & have 1, 2:35, or 4 o'clock classes! Even the 11:25 would be nice!

(2) The registrar is filled with a bunch of bitches! Always...they want to do the very least they can.

(3) Don't even get me started on the book store! I'm surprised I'm allowed in I bought this book $95 then dropped the class soon after (like 2 days)...they didn't want to let me return it! They wanted me to sell it back for like $30..and said there was no other way...I said...you pple can kiss my butt! I went straight to the dean, ranting and raving like a psycho, and sure enough..they took that book back!

Zook that sucks! You just can't please some people. Hope things get better.

I'm making good headway on finding a place for them to go, and I have little choice in what I pay for the book. It's required and all that crap.

I stuck a note on my suitemate's bathroom mirror saying (in a nutshell) I have no idea why she's silent and if she has issues, she needs to talk to me. So, we'll see what comes of that. I'd like to think she'd say 'Hey' or something, but I'm not getting my hopes up.
