UNG Is a Great Place But...
Everyone told me how great and horrible college will be all at the same time. Senior year feels like it will last a lifetime so you take your SAT’s and apply to the colleges that all your friends are applying to and the visits begin. You see all these amazing schools and the idea of college starts to build. Your parents bring you back down to reality with financial problems, distance and then you’re supposed to choose the college that you’re going to go to for the next four years. I waited to long to decide on my dream school so UNG chose me at the last minute. My parents can’t pay for a bit of my school so UNG was ultimately the only option for me because it was the cheapest. I never got to go to my dream school …show more content…
It is hard to communicate on a commuter campus when student’s mind-set is, go to school and go home, but we are given UNG emails for a reason. UNG uses that email to remind us everyday that we need to complete Alcohol Edu but there’s no information on deadlines or important events. On the website and on posters around campus there is news about when events are happening during the week but these events consist of laser tag, volleyball games, and movie nights. The important things are never posted or communicated with the students. I would have never found out that UNG had advisement week if it wasn’t for one professor that mentioned it in class. I never received an email, saw any posters, or heard about it from anyone. I realize college is due it yourself environment but there’s certain things that the students and especially freshman need to know. I solely blame this issue on UNG, no one lives on campus and the students barely communicate with themselves so how is anyone supposed to find out …show more content…
I pay to go to this school and I work over forty hours a week to do so. Teachers that are just ready to retire lose all the care in the world for the students that are trying to learn right in front of them. Math is my strongest subject and going into my first year in college I was expecting things to be more difficult but to have a teacher look at you when you step into the classroom the very first day and say, “I’m going to fail you because I don’t think you’ll do well.” Really put a damper on my plans of being successful. That math class started out completely full with forty students and by week two there were only five kids left. I never thought about dropping a class this early into college but this lady left me no choice. I went after class during her office hours and constantly showed effort throughout every class. I think that teachers that give up and prevent students from having a fair chance in a class need to be removed. I get it you’re almost done, but my life is just starting and you as a teacher have a job to
