The incoveniences of Harbor College

This section will be a list of all the irritating things about the school and how it is run:

1. Transcripts: I needed an official transcript to send to a school for soccer. I went to the admissions office to see how I could get my Fall transcript so they had me fill out this card. I was very confused because the people at Harbor College are often as helpful as those employees of the DMV. So I asked a few questions and could tell the lady was kind of irritated so I walked away and filled out the card. I opted for the 3 dollar transcript for obvious reasons and gave the woman the card containing the information. She said I would get my transcript in a week and it would be mailed to my house.... why? I was too frustrated to even care so I said that was fine, but then she said I couldn't get my transcript because I hadn't paid my SPRING tuition yet.... what kind of stupid rule is that?!? What does the spring tuition have anything to do with getting a Fall transcript????

The following week after I paid my Spring tuition, I went back to get my transcript... again I filled out the card, this time opting for the 10 dollar one I could pick up right then and there. However that wasn't the case. I had to take some paper to the cashiers office which is a decent enough walk from the admissions office. Pay for the transcript there, wait in that lame line, then go back to get my transcript. Surely there is a better and more efficient way of doing that, but nope this is Harbor College.

2. Buying books: Since I don't walk around with hundreds of dollars in cash, I buy my books with a check. Every time you buy one of these overpriced books from the classy bookstore with a check, you must have a meaningless printout of your classes. Why? I don't really know but that is just another stupid rule they have implemented to frustrate the students. And every time I go to buy a book, I always seem to forget about the printout and then they send me to the cashiers office just like the transcripts and have me get a printout which costs a dollar (if you didn't figure out the philosophy problem this is where the missing dollar went... to harbor college).

3. The ease of communicating with Harbor College Employees: I call Harbor College, the DMV of colleges. Everyone that works in the front offices seems to be super grumpy and having a really bad day. However on rare occasions you encounter a compassionate being there to help you out. The ratio of unkind to kind employees is approximately 7:1. Just like the DMV, the employees want nothing to do with you, but yet it's their job? Maybe you should work some place where you don't have to deal with communicating and helping others... just a suggestion.
