This place can be great or terrible. A lot of it depends on luck. And a lot of it is on the university for not being as competent as they claim they are. I don't personally feel that the faculty is treated well. And I think a lot of unnecessary stress is put on students. Of course some amount of stress is normal when at university but U of M takes it to another level. The financial aide program is a joke. Each person you talk to there will tell you different information from the last time you spoke with someone at the office, leaving you very confused. Advisors are over worked and not properly trained for the job. I'm not really sure who is the ultimate cause of the trouble many people face at U of M but I hope someone can figure it out so then everyone who works there or attends the school can have a good experience. The education over all is good. Wich of course is one of the top priorities. However with the way things are at the school now I don't know that the education is worth the money. The amount of stress and lack of help or accurate information is most definitely not worth the money. I would like to see U of M take people's complaints or issues with them seriously. Maybe someday the school will be more organized and everyone who is involved with it can have a great experience and gain the knowledge they need to succeed.
