What do students have to say?

Here are some pieces of feedback I've receieved from students so far. Feel free to comment and your own to the list.

Arts Advising
-inconsistent advice- different Advisors give different information, making multiple visits necessary
-phoning a week ahead to book an appointment sucks- should be able to book by email
-Degree Navigator: inaccurate, and unable to account for transfer, exchange, or AP credits (leading many students to panic when it tells them they can't graduate)

Course Registration
-Second Year Sucks- difficult to get into courses, especially pre-requisites, that students need for their degree
-summer session- "year-standing" not updated until September, meaning that a student entering 3rd-year has to register as a 2nd-year (at a later date), putting them at a disadvantage twice over

Study Spaces
-not enough within Buchanan
-benches hard and uncomfortable
-line-ups for computers and space at library way too long
-more public-access computers/computer labs in Buchanan would be very helpful

Not only that but the BUCH labs get used and abused by students who have their own dedicated labs. BUCH should be Arts-only, or there should be a larger Arts-only computer space. Commerce has it, we should too.

Also, it's shitty to get kicked out of the BUCH labs when a class that doesn't even need the computers comes in.
