One junior at PSU had this to say about the advising center and their assistance in guiding classes, "My adviser didn't have time for me, he told me 10 minutes into our meeting that he had to go." Another sophomore jumped in and mentioned that she didn't know she was even assigned an adviser because she didn't recall hearing about it during her orientation. Two students I talked to also expressed how they had dealt with roommates or friends that were depressed and borderline suicidal, and they weren't aware that help was available to them.
Another student I spoke with also mentioned she had done similar research, focusing on the performance of the Health Center at Plymouth State. Ana Bitto said that she had spoken with many students regarding the Health Center's availability and location. She found that many students weren't aware there was a Health Center available to them, and their hours make it difficult for sick students to receive treatment (9-4, Monday-Friday). "A variety of people I've talked to on campus find it challenging to get the medication they need with such minimal time in the day, thus making it harder for them to attend classes, study, or get the proper nutrition they need to get better", said Bitto.
