OK, I've been having a lot of problems recently with my college roommates, so I would say without a doubt that having to have roommates (more specifically freshman roommates) is the worst thing about being in college. A close second for me would be financial aid. I was supposed to be getting $1200 back last semester and that definitely never happened! Instead I kept getting emails from housing saying I owed them $300 and if I didn't pay up soon they were going to kick me out! Definitely not fun! So what is your least favorite part college or any kind of educational institute?

The worst thing about college for me is the attendancce. I guess many guys would have not heard about this. I am from India and in all colleges over here, attendance is compulsory. The worst thing in that is, If we bunk college on Friday, we need to pay fine to college which will be equal to 50% of college fee. Just imagine, how much we need to pay if we cut college on friday. If we are lagging behind attendance, then also we need to pay fine. This is really pathetic and this is the one which I dont like to the core during my college days!!

The worst thing is the tuition.

Tuition isn't that bad for me. I have a scholarship that pays 75% of my tuition, so I usually only have to pay $200-$300 for tuition, which is nothing when you compare it to books or housing rent.

That's really lucky for you! I have two roommates, but we are only sharing one bathroom with each other- not with 40 other people. The room here is really tiny though. It's annoying because friends really can't stay over because of space issues, but my roommates find it necessary to have them over all the time and make sure it's their most annoying friends possible just to piss me off! I'm so sick of waking up and tripping over a mattress.
