Instead it seems as though there's a lot of hand waving and nobody wants to get the ball rolling. Also, professors in CEPS seem more interested in their own research than in helping students. All major developments at UNH should at least be presented to a significant portion of the student body for input prior to approval. Give this survey to every student in CEPS next fall. The increase in parking fees this coming year is outrageous and bordering on illegal given that UNH Parking Services is a monopoly.
Students get out of college what they put into it.
If students' are apathetic whey they get here, it is hard for them to get involved. The university can have as many events as possible, but the students will not come. You will continue to lose students until you can convince the ones that have been accepted to Caltech, MIT, Brown, Harvard, that UNH is just as good as them. The only way to guarantee more retention of students is to make the program easier, which is a very, very, bad idea. It is hard to have a good time as a CEPS major.
