The financial department can't keep track of the money you pay them.  One semester I had received an email stating that I owed them $400 when just two days before I had received a check from them for $40, because I over-paid.  On top of this they will send you to four different locations and you will end up speaking with the same person you did in the beginning.  On top of this they have changed what one of my classes that I took as a freshman into a higher level course but will not count it as a higher level course even though the information that they are to teach is exactly the same.  Also just recently I had lost my wallet and it had been turned into the lost and found.  When I received my wallet back it was missing $50.  They didn't even bother to get the contact information from the person dropping it off or to inventory what was in the wallet.  When I contacted them about this I was met with arguments and completely rude and unnecessary comments.  They were hostile and unhelpful.  Keep in mind I am a criminal justice major and just because there is a policy stating that they are not responsible for theft or loss they do have a responsibility to protect their students from unnecessary issues.  For all I know the person that they hired was the one that took the money.  Also there has been a large amount of car break ins on the campus.  They did finally catch the person, but they do not replace or fix burnt out lights in the parking lot.  In addition to this the traffic to park on campus is ridiculous.  During rush hours they are supposed to (and have in the past but no longer do) have campus security to direct traffic.  I can arrive on campus 20 minutes early for class and will barely make it in time for class and thats if I run and even then thats not always the case.  They are very close to Cincinnati, Covington, and Newport so if you are old enough to drink there is a decent amount to do but this declines greatly for those under 21, unless you enjoy sports because we are very close to the Bengals, Reds, and Cyclones stadium.  Additionally frequently will the elevators in some of the older buildings will get stuck.  One of the oldest buildings on campus has such faulty fire alarms that they go off 4-5 times a semester, which causing issues for the local fire departments because they are have to answer that call but then may be put even farther out of the way from an actual emergency.  The food on campus is also quite expensive for what it is.  They charge about $3 for a peanut butter and jelly sandwich when you can get that at Kroger for $.99.  That's three times the normal price.  Also I have ADHD and have been diagnosed three different time by three different doctors and they still wanted me to go to another facility to be diagnosed again.  Also half of their webpage does not work with or barely works with Mac and about 50% of college students use Mac.  DO NOT GO HERE UNLESS YOU HAVE TOO!  I have found this college to be so greedy and irresponsible beyond disbelief.
