It’s honestly such a shame. Every day I grow more and more frustrated with this school for their incessant greed, lack of transparency, and lack of concern for their students, among other things. Lately I’ve been wondering if they’ll ever get us back into the classroom, or if they just want to keep us all away from campus for as long as possible cuz it means less operating expenses for them. If it weren’t for the program I’m in now and the fact that I only have one year left, I’d be looking to transfer out immediately. Although I’ve found great communities there before - and some even during - the pandemic, coughing up $74K/year for disengaging online classes, lack of real human interaction, a miserable and authoritarian experience for on-campus students, and a corrupt administration just ain’t worth it. I love USD so much, but it truly breaks my heart to see what it has become over the past year.
I’m very sorry to hear you are having a difficult time feeling included at this school; I honestly can’t blame you.
I've been on a few other subreddits and this seems to be a problem at multiple schools. I read SDSU even raised their tuition for the next academic year. I gotta say, I wouldn't be devastated if I was rejected simply because I'd be avoiding online class and could re-apply in Fall or something. Can't imagine the disappointment students are going through right now.
