Life is tough for art students. From being judged for going to a liberal arts college to being told the careers they seek aren't going to be financially rewarding. Here are some things that Columbia College Chicago students are absolutely tired of.
1. When we say we go to Columbia, being asked if we go to Columbia University.
Nope.
2. The tuition rising every year.
Why can't we have a fixed rate of what we paid our first year, huh?
3. The constant changes in every single department.
If I wanted to go to school longer than I needed to... nevermind. I would never want that.
4. Your UPass turning off during breaks.
SOME OF US ACTUALLY STAY IN THE CITY DURING THE WINTER AND SUMMER BREAKS.
5. Getting on the odd floor elevator in 624 when you are going to an even floor.
What even is the point of having even and odd floor elevators anyway?
6. Not getting paid for their artwork.
Start. Paying. Artists. For. Their. Work!
7. Residence Life never being available when you need them.
If residents live here 24/7, then shouldn't the office be available 24/7?
8. Certain classes not being offered every semester.
I swear, it's a tactic they use to get us to stay here longer.
9. Showing your ID to get into 623.
Why is it only this building? Why?
10. Moodle.
Nothing else needs to be said.
11. The Dwight always turning off the hot water.
Why? Just why?
12. Not being taken seriously because you go to art school.
But knowing it was the best school for you anyway.
