Things not allowed back in 2015 — News

Access codes for textbooks

Tuition is already expensive enough, and adding textbooks for four or five classes just takes it over the top. Even worse, some teachers require you to buy an access code, forcing you to spend money on a new book rather than buying or renting a used copy. Teachers should remember how much college already costs when they're forcing us to cough up more cash.

Violence in Five Points

This is kind of a no-brainer, but we've already seen enough of this with incidents last year, especially the first few weeks of the fall semester. This is something that no one ever wants on campus, but hopefully it won't return at all in 2015.

Unemployment

Most college students are either unemployed or underemployed after graduation. With graduation in the way-too-near future, it would be nice if we could eliminate unemployment in 2015 just by thinking about it.

Ice and snow storms that shut down the entire city

Although a day off of school is nice, it's not as much fun if you can't go anywhere on your day off because South Carolinians don't know how to drive in the snow.
