Email Director of Office A and Office B and tell them to get their act together. \n\nSeriously, though. I sometimes feel like I'm in the movie Brazil - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazil_(film) - when I'm on campus. Since it's a state institution, it's inherent that there are multiple layers of bureaucracy. But the U of I takes it to the extreme, and will often make your four years on campus feel like a bad trip to the DMV. I feel like some of the bureaucrats on campus don't have enough to do, and make up stupid rules and policies to give themselves something to do.\n\nI've enjoyed much of my experience on campus- especially the opportunities to interact with Professors in small group settings. If you want to succeed on this campus, you need to know how to fight for yourself. After you finish registration your freshman year, you won't have anyone advocating for you."^^ . "0"^^ . . "8"^^ .
