Top 10 Student Complaints About ASU

Check out 10-9 of the list at www.asuherald.com

5. Food variety/quality: Students have complained that the quality and variety of the cafeteria food in Acansa Dining Hall, even at the beginning of the semester, is unsatisfactory. With continued themes of the same old pasta, meat and potatoes, or just the usual salad bar, there is not much variety after a couple of weeks of getting use to the food.

4. Book prices: We are paying a high tuition and this payment is covering our education and our education is coming from these necessary textbooks, however the payment for the textbooks is not covered by our tuition. This seems like an outrage! What is our tuition actually paying for?

3. Fire Alarms: Last semester, a resident of NPQ was diagnosed with a perforated ear drum as a result of multiple fire alarms sounding so loudly. The volume of these alarms was already unbarable, come to find out that the alarms have been altered and increased in volume and sound for the spring semester. How can they increase this when the old sound was already a problem?

2. Supplies: According to frequent visitors of the campus store and Starbucks in the student union, the fulfillment of supplies is unaccepetable. Students say that these establishments are ofen out of key supplies on a daily, or even weekly, basis. Causing much student frustration, buyers are less motivated to visit the stores at all for their usual on-campus needs.

1. Installment fee: For students paying off their student debt, an instalment plan can be put into place. This is suppose to be to help students' ability to pay off their financial aid in regular installments. A problem is that there is a fee to set up this plan. It does not seem to make sense to ask already poor students to give up more of their money simply in order to give their first paymetns at all.
