The Unexpected

My ideal university would involve fewer course requirements per semester so that the work load wouldn't be as demanding and so that each student could really focus on those particular subjects and succeed at them. It would also give students more one on one with their teachers and actually get to know them. I feel like the more time you had with teachers the more comfortable one would be with coming to them for help which could significantly improve their grades. Additionally it would be nice if only classes that dealt with your major were required and if the classes population was decreased. I also would like it if no classes started before 10 and ended past 9. It would allow your brain and body to function properly and actually be mentally prepared for class. 
My ideal day involving a university would be to wake up and have room service that delivered breakfast first of all. Then it would be to walk right outside and have your car parked out there so you don't have to walk or fight to find a parking spot. Next it would be to walk into class and have the teacher greet you by your first name. My ideal day would also involve us as the students getting involved with one another and becoming familiar and comfortable with talking and working together. It would also be to have fun in class learning material that actually contributes to your major. Then after class was over it would be to have a nice break and go get something to eat and socialize for a bit before the next class.

  1. Our ideal universities have a lot of things in common, including more classes aimed towards our majors, and less general education classes required.Also having adequate parking :) I love the idea of having room service, maybe there should be a laundry service added too. Both of those things would create less stressful environments and ultimately more time for studying and catching up on sleep. I think that both of our ideas for universities could be combined and would work well together.
