If you could change one thing about Frostburg State University, what would it be?

The question posed to staff and students at Frostburg State University this Thursday, March 31st could have many varied responses. If you could change one thing about Frostburg State University, what would it be? Most did not have to think too long about their answers; the weather, the location and parking were some of the most quick and common answers. Some debates ensued between friends about the facilities and the food and whether or not they were adequate.

Francesca Pehr, an Art and Design Major from Baltimore, MD, was quick to reply about the staff and teachers in FSU. "I think they are too lax in their staff choices, the facilities are great, it's just some teaches aren't into it and aren't available outside of class time to their students." Ms. Pehr feels that some of the staff were not putting enough enthusiasm into their work and not taking an interest in their students.

"If it were bigger and had more students," was Nick Letocha's answer to what he would change about Frostburg State University. Mr. Letocha, a freshman and a theatre major from Prince Frederick feels that Frostburg State University is a little small at the moment but that it offers a great range of majors and minors. He says the facilities are brilliant and that a larger student body would help put "more life" into the University.

Finally, Mary McGuire's first response was "the weather." Ms. McGuire, a Mass Communications major from Limerick, Ireland, elaborated on her answer by adding "The clubs and societies should advertise more." As an international student Ms. McGuire has found it difficult to integrate into college life as she has been unaware of all the clubs that exist on campus. "At home we have a Clubs & Societies day each semester, where all the clubs and socs advertise and people join up, Frostburg should have that too," thinks Ms. McGuire.

The majority of those interviewed felt that the facilities at Frostburg State University were satisfactory, especially with the opening of the new Lane Center. The main thing that people wish the change is that which nothing can be done about, the weather. The greater part of the interviewees were happy with the University as a whole and very little wished to complain about it. If you could change one thing about Frostburg State University, what would it be? It appears to be the weather is the main downside of an otherwise excellent University and the student body seems to be in agreement of this.
