Penn State Cries a River

September 14, 2007 RSS Feed Print

Who knew college students could be so curmudgeonly? The Penn State student government gave its classmates a chance to make their voices heard at an "I'm Pissed About THIS..." table, the Daily Collegian writes. Among the large number of complaints:

1. The exorbitant amount of lecture notes professors request that is eating up one student's printing credits.

2. The number of scholarships the university doles out each year. "It's funny how students that have a 4.0 [grade-point average] can't get a scholarship, but someone can get a full ride for throwing a football and making the school millions of dollars in a bowl game," one student said.

3. Garbage trucks at 5 in the morning that wake everyone up.

Students seem eager to take it to the man. Said one student: "Class can wait. I'm mad."
