Money Making University

1st of all, some of you may feel offended by this post.
if thats the case, juz FLOAT AWAY.
but i think majority of you will agree with me.
The story is about a University in Malaysia under a well known money sucking telecommunication company.
1. Charge the students RM12 per year for parking stickers.
Of course many of you think that this is a very cheap price by just looking at its price. But then, here is the important point, they sold more parking tickets than the parking places available. As a result, students have to waste time looking and waiting for car park everyday. Some of them have to park in the middle of the road. Is it reasonable for you to pay in order park in the middle of road???On the other hand, the staff's parking is always empty but the students are not allowed to park there.
2. The lift is always out of service.
When the facility is old, it is normal that it will have problem frequently but the problem is the time needed to repair it. Once there was a lift that had been out of service for almost a long sem until someone came to fix it.
3. The aircon
Same with the lift, takes ages to repair, I have experienced more than 1 month without aircon in a venue until the lecturer cant stand it and decided to shift the venue. What is worse is the air con in the exam hall. I remember my 1st mid term in the exam hall is without air con, but luckily i was sitting beside the stand fan. Then here comes my last paper for that sem which the venue is exam hall again, without air con again. That was in a hot afternoon..... can you imagine wat will happen inside an indoor hall with few hundred of living creatures exhaling tonnes of CO2 every minute???The last paper was taken about a month after the first one.
4. Exam Hall again......
If i tell this out to people from other University, they will laugh. There was once during this sem, my housemate had an 8 pm paper, he came back home at 8.15 that day telling us that the paper was postponed due to power failure in the exam hall.
5. Additional fees to be paid after you enter the University.
All of sudden, they told us that we have to pay additional fees after we have studied for some time. One of the good example is the IT fees. They clamied that they imposed the fees is because they need upgrade the internet connection service and for the maintainance purpose.They have not enough money to pay for it. Why dont they just charge the students that use internet in campus??Many of us had never use the internet service before.
OK, i am feeling sleepy now, so i will just continue this topic in my future post(s).
PS:
The worst thing is after charging so much money and giving out so poor service, our University still claimed they have suffered financial lost eor the past few years.
Where did the money went????
