Veintiséis

Reasons why registering for classes is far too difficult:

1. Not enough sections.
One class everyone in the major has to take... one section. Ridiculous.

2. Not enough seats.
Only 35 seats in that one section? Come on.

3. Faculty members are being fired.
No wonder we can't find classes--there's no one to teach them.

4. The registration system crashes constantly.
They never seem to anticipate the volume of students who need to register at one time.
There are over 30,000 of us. Please be better prepared.

5. There is no alternate registration option.
And the online system always seems to fail in one way or another.

6. People register for classes they don't need.
You know, "just in case" they change their mind later.

7. Days/times for classes aren't finalized until the day before registration.
And they try to teach us to plan ahead.

8. THEY CHANGE PRIORITY REGISTRATION DATES AT THE LAST SECOND.

Reasons why registering for classes should not be this difficult:

*ahem*

1. Tuition costs an obscene amount of money each semester.
Where has it all gone?
Stop re-potting the flowers and re-hire some professors, please.

The end.
