College faculty offices, both in community college and in university, are some of the most inept people I've ever had the misfortune of dealing with. Financial aid, admissions, counseling, all of them. That alone is enough to drive you mad then add on top the other stress of being a student and it's no wonder people are just saying no thanks.

I went to my state school under a low income program (EOF, Educational Opportunity Fund). I found all resources available to me as valuable, and I wouldn’t have graduated on time had it not been for their services.

I’m generally a cynical person, but I can’t be cynical about the administration of the EOF program because everyone I interacted with under that program excelled at what they did. They didn’t need to go above and beyond for the poor students, but they did.
