<human>: Provide a brief overview of the text.

I go to a local college, U of Texas at Arlington.

I have had problems since day one. Literally. Day 1: "we're only going to let you register for 12 hours since you're a freshman, if you want to take more classes, you'll have to get them approved." I went to a rather good highschool and took loads of AP classes to prepare for college. I also had a decent 1250 composite score on my SAT. I was not starting college with just 12 hours. Fuck you no. I ended up getting 15 hours approved.

Fast forward about a year later, and they wouldn't let me take upper level classes because I "didn't have enough" credits built up. I had the prereqs met, but they thought I was stupid. I had never made anything below a B at this university. I essentially had to tell them I was leaving to go to a private school that was offering scholarships (though not enough $$) for them to approve upper level classes. That's right. I had to THREATEN to leave to get anything done.

I have about a dozen examples of stories like this. The most recent one, having some random guy in the business department email me "demanding" me to drop a class for fall 2013, because I'm not "qualified." I'm a senior and have 9 hours left in the fall; there are no more prereqs to be met. I told him basically to fuck off.

Do you guys have any similar stories or go to insanely bureaucratic universities? It has practically driven me insane.
<bot>: I go to a really bureaucratic uni that won't let me do anything for myself. It's really frustrating. What are your stories?
