The faculty and education is worthwhile, as are most of the buildings and equipment; however, the administration is reason enough to avoid enrollment, leading one to prefer pursuit of a different institution. The administrative staff is as understanding and competent as they are allowed to be within the parameters set forth by Eastern policies.

Eastern's counseling programs are actually professors from the students declared major, who are available for consultation on a rotating basis. Counseling in minor subjects follow a similar design. In my case, due to "counselors" not looking beyond their own designated zone, this system twice overlooked requirements needed to graduate on time, delaying graduation by two semesters.

Furthermore, Eastern has abysmal parking with confusing parking lot schedules and strict enforcement of the same. The parking permit office is not very understanding of any infraction.

A while ago, Eastern championed that they would not increase tuition, and would keep prices low for students. This was misleading at best. While it is true that BASE tuition did not increase, Eastern has added numerous fees to increase revenue; including department fees (those which are administered for each department of the registered classes), campus life fees (support the various groups and activities on campus), and lab fees (if the prescribed course has a lab along with it). In truth, these fees increase overall tuition and is a bit untruthful on the University's part.

Eastern has adopted a paperless policy for billing statements, which only mails a single paper statement after the balance has been sent to collections, often after numerous late fees have been accrued. It is also University policy to remove only 3 late fees regardless of the error and only if the bill is paid in full AND there is no history of fee removal.

Eastern touts themselves as understanding and friendly to students, in actuality the only friendly aspect has been the staff, and even then only some of the time. The University's policies are unfair and absolute with no hope of review. It is for these reasons that I will no longer be considering them as a graduate institution, nor will I be donating to any alumni funds.
