Not to mention the course selection system (which used to be one of the best anywhere) is now totally haywire ... the software was written by their own students
I believe you're talking about "Quest" which wasn't programmed by students, but by Peoplesoft. And it was pretty buggy.
the courseworks demands are simply unattainable if you don't live in residence and have to take time away from the work to commute or have to worry about family life.
It's absurd to think the time saved by walking/biking to school or back would make any difference in the world. Sure there is a lot of work, but the hour you'd save by not commuting would not make the kind of difference you seem to be indicating.
As to exams, you don't know your exam schedule (or conflicts) until a couple of weeks before exams
You get the schedule about a month and a bit before exams. It would be nice to have it sooner, but how can an exam schedule be determined before people stop switching courses?
