So to be completely honest, as much as I like talking about ways to fix Huntingdon (or the problems I see with it) I don't know that I care enough to change it. Before you jump all over me read my reasoning. I am a fifth year senior, I have been here all 5 years of my collegiate experience, and I love it here. I would not have stayed if I didn't. So, I think there are things that need to change: like a new President that can tangibly show where our Tuition, room and board, and "student fees" are going. (That's my big problem with the school and also why I probably will not donate money to Huntingdon until he leaves. Ranting, I know.) But I say all of this to say that we all have things to complain about and would like to think that we would/could do something about it, but the truth is that the world has taught us to either change our beliefs or to move away from the problems. So, if we go by what we are taught, we will all either deal with the problems (as I have for the past 5 years) or go to a new school (check the retention rate for Huntingdon. It backs up my point). I hope we can change the school, but hoping and having the actual drive to do something are two different things.
If you haven't already discovered, I'm a pessimist. Good day.

Yea, I am in the same boat bud. I have been here a while and have had to put up with it. Truth is, I didnt start questioning it right away, and by the time I was questioning policies and financial expidentures, I didnt want to transfer and stay in school longer. Plus, there were plenty of things i loved about HC. But you are right...someone must have the drive to do something to make it successful. The same applies for the group. A whole group must have the same vision and goal and must be willing to go the distance in order to see it achieved. This does entail sacrifice, for you can achieve nothing great without sacrifice. If even one person does not share the vision, they will hold the rest back.
