If you don't already know I am a junior at Lindenwood University. Yes, this is my third year at this university and man have I seen some things. Now I am not saying this is a bad school. There are just a few questions I have for this illustrious university.
1. Are we really diverse, or do you all just say that to look nice on paper?
Yes my school is a melting pot, but the school is filled with international students. When you hear terms like multicultural and diverse, just know their not talking about black students. According to college factual Caucasian students make up 52.9 % of the student population. Then 78.4 % of the faculty.
2. When are we going to have a real fried chicken place by campus?
Lindenwood has so many food places near the school, but no real chicken. Yea there's Canes, but they only serve chicken strips. You have to get on the highway and drive ten minutes to go to Popeye's. As far as walking distance, there is no place that serves good gizzards, biscuits that make your throat dry, or that finger licking chicken that makes you want to slap your momma.
3. Did you all really think those dining dollars were enough?
Dining dollars are extra money for the students. the students can use them at the convenient store, Starbucks, or if you want extra food outside the meal plan. Dining dollars lasted long last year because we didn't have all the extra stores. This year we have Starbucks, a new cafe in Harmon, and sky rocket prices at the convenient store. I have 43 dollars left, and its the first week of October!
4. So are we just going to ignore the fact that there are wild geese on campus every year?
Every year when it starts to warm up these random geese come on campus and get very territorial. The geese act like they paid $23,000 to go to this school. There are literally videos of students being chased by these geese.
5. Does attendance really matter?
Last year I had a teacher that gave me a 79.9 because she didn't like that I was late to her 8 am almost every day. That is a prime example of teacher abuse. I feel like if I did the work, than why does attendance matter. If I'm making good grades and turning in all the assignments on time, than why does attendance need to be a factor.
