is rice destroying undergrad experience?

<p>Don’t airbrush over the facts. On campus housing for 4 years hasn’t been guaranteed for a long time, but the way it is now, nothing will be changing/improving. It’s far from just the intro classes that are overenrolled. A lot of people haven’t been able to get into classes required for their major. I tossed a major last year because I couldn’t get into 2 of the required classes - I would’ve been behind by a year. Most of the common elective courses always become full. All of the good electives fill up immediately (forget these if you’re a freshman, unless you have a ton of AP credit). It was already really cramped before they accepted too many students, and now it’s really bad. Last year in two of my classes people had to sit on the ground because the lecture halls couldn’t actually accommodate the entire class heh. </p>

<p>about growth and intimacy, idk about that. some people complain about how international students only talk to themselves but i don’t really care about that and it tends to happen at any other university. what I do care about is not being able to get into classes in the first two years…</p>
