With the exception of a few helpful people, Western's office staff is extremely unhelpful, rude, apathetic, slow, and unwilling to listen. My dealings with the office staff—whether it is financial aid, getting mysterious holds lifted from my account, signing up for a meal plan or dropping classes—has been incredibly discouraging and irritating. If not due to money and lack of an opportunity to relocate, I would leave this school for this reason alone. It is inexplicably frustrating to get transferred from office to office, knowing that the next voice to come on the line is going to leave you with no questions answered. If you are a high school student looking for a university to attend, please take my advice: try to go somewhere where you will be treated as a person with legitimate questions and concerns. That may mean avoiding large state schools altogether. It isn't worth the frustration of figuring out every detail on your own.
