Oh, the lovely Kennesaw State University… There are some things that only your students would understand.

1. You can never find any parking, but you've become at master at parking.

With having 30,000 students at any given time, how does having only 12,000 parking spots make sense? You just merged with SPSU and decided not to build any new parking decks? It's sad that we have to hope people stop coming to class so we can have more parking spaces.

Nobody at KSU can park in between the lines. So, if you really want that spot, you’re going to have to work for it.

2. You can never get the classes you need.

Aww… You only need this one class? Sorry 'bout it.

3. WiFi? What is this “WiFi” you speak of?

4. If you're hungry and The HOOT is the only thing open, you're going hungry that night. They just changed it to The Village Skillet, so let's see how that goes.

5. The KSU Emergency Alert Systems is just like your ex.

It will leave you 16 missed calls, eight text messages, five emails, and will even call your mom. Unfortunately, they inform you AFTER the threat is over.

6. The “Wednesday Purge Sirens”

The first Wednesday of every month, they test the Emergency Alert Sirens. You can tell who’s new to campus by the look of complete and utter terror in their eyes.

7. You go home for the weekend.

Kennesaw is NOT a college town, so with nothing to do, you go home for the weekend. It’s either that or suffer from complete depression due to isolation. However, if all 30,000 students would just vote, we could totally overthrow the local government and get this to become the most poppin' college town in the nation.

8. The Commons… THE. COMMONS.

“You must really like the food since it’s fourth in the nation.” Uh, yeah. Sure. Just don’t go in there from 11:45 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. or you will have to find a seat on the floor and make sure you don’t have anything to do an hour after you eat…

9. You DON’T bring books to Cram Jam.

As crazy as it may sound, Cram Jam does not consist of studying. They should probably call it Klub KSU. The Commons basically turns into a night club and there is AMAZING food, twerking and ratchetry at its finest.

10. You have a better chance going to the off-campus Chick-fil-A and getting back to class on time than you do going to the Chick-fil-A in the Student Center.

It's so unbelievably slow, and EVERYONE and their grandmother wants to have it. By now, you have probably memorized the monotonous “Debit, Credit, or Cash.”

11. KP.

12. On-campus housing sucks.

Yeah, you are on campus and close to everything, but moving to the off-campus Student Housing apartments/townhomes are the move. The On-Campus Housing Management is the WORST; the dorm rooms are dirty from not receiving a proper move out cleaning, and the office personnel is completely unprofessional.

13. Don’t make eye contact with the sororities in tents or in the Student Center on campus…

If you do, you will end up donating all your change, life savings and left arm to their causes, and you will still want to give more! Their fundraisers are just too hard to pass up.

14. D2L is the bane of your existence.

Between D2L always being down for maintenance when you are scheduled to turn in work or D2L just not turning in your work, your professor doesn’t care… YOU get a 0, and YOU get a 0, EVERYONE gets a 0!!!! YASSSSS!!!!!

15. The Library.

I'm pretty sure KSU is the only university that would decide to start construction the week before finals. IN THE LIBRARY! (They’re still not done, by the way.)

16. If the University sets a date to open something, you can plan on them opening it up six months later than the set date.

*cough* The gym *cough*.

17. The hypothermia of the auditoriums.

Boots and a winter jacket MIGHT keep you warm.

18. The damn round-a-bout.

The people on the OUTSIDE yield to the cars inside. You (on the inside) DO NOT yield to them. Stop tapping your breaks.

19. Mullet Man, Tokyo Drift, Yard Girl, THE Pineapple Man, Stilts, The B.O.B driver that fist bumps, and the guy who plays the violin and rides a unicycle at the same time all hold a special place in your heart

20. Although we are also known as 5/3 Bank University and Construction University LLC, we love it anyway and wouldn't want to be any place else... Well some of us, anyway...
