This is my 3rd year at Idaho State. I love the school, I really do. I love how everyone has so much spirit, even though our teams suck. I love how mostly everyone is friendly, the teachers are nice and helpful, and all that. I love that I can walk everywhere, there's activities all the time, and everyone's invited! I love it! BUT! I dont like Idaho State at all.

Idaho State University is the cause of break downs, not just me, but for everyone. Although the loans mostly cover all the costs, and if the classes are planned right, you dont have to pay out of your pocket, I'm finding that more is coming out of my pocket through the loan! They have wonderful sayings, like, "ISU students are well rounded." That's just slang for, "We make them take a class from every department to make more money." I mean really, isn't that what their doing. By forcing me to take a class that has nothing to do with my major, that's not only making me reconsider and take more of that department, but it holds me back from knowing just what I need to know. I'm wondering the same things I did in High School. Yes, all the education in high school was important. I do know that and agree fully; but how does Art, or Anthopology have to do with a medical degree. I'm almost positive that nurses and paramedics dont sit around and say, "Oh, Judith, look at this picture of these African cave men! The artist really thought about it!" If they do, forgive me, I dont. While I spend countless dollars on things I really will never need to know, I'm held farther and less motivated to get into my program, knowing it's just going to cost more. If they want to make me take a class from every department, why dont they make them useful to our careers? I guess I dont hate ISU in general. Like I said, I enjoy everyday. I guess I dont like the people running the show, only taking our money. I'd really like to know how much they make and how many of them went to college. My mother works in the bookstore. Everyone blames her for taking thier money, but it's the professors who order the books, the "new" books in and it's the stores big leagues who call the prices. He feels awful that most students dont know how they're going to eat. Before we make a stand against the price to just go to school, lets make a stand on what we're spending our loans on in general. We could use a new gym, yes, and we could use new parking decks, yes, but do we really need to take that Buissness class is I'm majoring in medical?
