The people at Mesa State are full of b.s. There are these commercials about going to school while you're working, because "we want you to succeed," yada yada yada. There are very few night classes, and most if not all are gen ed. The college is gradually taking over the streets, so not only do you have to park on the street in order to park for free, you have to make sure that the street you're parking on doesn't require a permit. There are parking lots that charge by the hour (which doesn't do you any good if you have one class that's an hour and fifteen minutes) that now require you to pay through 8pm (read: half of a night class). It took them weeks to update their system to say that i had filled out a form (which i am still receiving in the mail repeatedly), no wonder it took them over forever to offer me my financial aid.
Above the parking and financial aid issues is the fact that it's so expensive now. Every semester they raise tuition, and now you have to pay for each and ever credit individually. This means that over my next two semesters (if i want to graduate in December of 09) that i will have to pay an additional thousand dollars instead of it being the same price as it would have been in the past. i know that this college is cheap compared to some, but even it is getting to the point where it's too expensive. No wonder there are so many people on campus who are gung ho about Obama and his "free education from K-college", inviting people to viewiing parties on Wednesday at 6pm... roflmao. He was only at the convention on Thursday.
