Chase Avants reviewed University of North Texas — 1 star
I can't believe how difficult this process has been. Since my transfer orientation I have been trying to get my parking pass for the semester, I was told it's easy and all you have to do is go online, pay and print it out, and you're ready to go. This goes for everyone..unless you're new! If that's the case, they don't even upload you to the system, and make you come in person to get your pass, which is fine and dandy except I live an hour away and work full time. After talki...ng with the transportation department almost daily 'being reassured to just wait to get uploaded to the system it should be any time..it's now been over a week,' I decided to go in and get my pass on Thursday, the 4th day of classes this semester. I was told that they are completely out of passes already, and when I asked about trying to handle this for the past 2 weeks I was essentially told it sucks to be me. I since found out that there are 2 alternative options! Phew, what a relief, the new parking garage looks awesome and even though expensive I decided to pony up and make it happen, except they are out of passes for that too. Now the literal only remaining option is to take a shuttle which has me traumatized without even using it because way too many of my classmates in only the second week of classes stroll into class 15-20 minutes late complaining about how it took them 5+ shuttles to get onto campus. So now my only option is to pay money to be late to class, or start my commute 2 and a half hours before class. As wonderful and beautiful as the campus is, as engaging as the professors are, as genuinely great an education I can tell this University provides, this single area is enough to frustrate someone to the point of wandering if this is where a student should heavily invest into the remainder of their education.
