The answer? NOTHING. Both institutions of higher education that I attended had a yearly tuition of over $40,000. Both small, private schools. Both refer to themselves as "The Harvard of the Midwest/West". But yet, it still baffles me that for all the money they're taking in, the people in charge still can't get their shit together!
At DePauw, dealing with housing or the registrar's office was like a personal day in Hell. Nobody knew anything. You got transferred from person to person. And in the end, you usually ended up with no answer and the option of paying for a solution.
Let me tell you about my latest issues here at Denver. I am a graduate student and as such, every professor and adviser has told me that graduate classes don't usually fill up since we have to take certain ones each quarter. LIES. Registration started on Monday at 6:20pm. I registered for my classes at 6:30pm. The classes I need to take were both open, I selected them and BAM. Done. Except for the fact that the Documentary class had a hold on it, saying "prerequisite and test score error." Whatever the fuck that meant.
Long story short, many emails and 24 hours later, I was finally able to surpass the hold. Unfortunately, at that point, the class was full and closed to registration. When I emailed the professor, explaining the situation, she told me that she would have to ask the other professor if it was okay to let me in. ARE YOU FUCKING ME!? I would have easily been in that class if not for the university's stupid errors. And now you're telling me that I may not get into the class at all because of NO ERROR ON MY PART!?
This department better hope they decide to let me in the class. If not, Hurricane Keri is hitting the building and there will be no survivors.
