<p>a few of my mom’s friends’ kids’ colleges arrange hotel accomodations and air line tickets for them. my college doesn’t. i have to reserve a hotel on my own and buy the airfares on my own without my college’s aid. is it normal? </p>
<p>i’m feeling agitated because my mom is begginning to think i chose the wrong school and she’s saying that my school isn’t so great even though it was because of her i chose the school.</p>
<p>What school did you choose?</p>

<p>Sorry if this sounds rough but schools are not travel agencies. Just because a university does not arrange for your accomodations does not mean it is a bad school. Anyone who suscribes to this thinking, has got their priorities in the wrong areas.</p>
<p>That’s not really normal. No state school would do that. Even elite privates would only do that if said student was a VIP.</p>
<p>It just depends on the college. Probably better that the college isn’t covering it–every little thing they do for students means more $$$ you pay them.</p>
<p>I’ve never heard of colleges doing this. Usually you have to find your own airplane and hotel.</p>
<p>what? That’s insane … the school is probably a crappy place so they have to do **** like that to attract students … seriously, no self-respecting school arranges your plane tickets, unless maybe you’re an athlete or something … but probably not even that!</p>
<p>West Point arranges your air travel and hotel, and then pays for it.</p>
<p>i’ve never heard of that, my school recommends a place where you can get a discount through the school but thats the extent of it.</p>
