so i have discovered, though not recently, that college class registration is absolutely ridiculous and the only thing that comes close is trying to register for housing... and i thought it was just annoying, until today... when i was trying to register for my Research Methods course in my psyche core, the system kept telling me that there was a prerequisite error, even though you are allowed to the the intro to psyche class, the supposed prerequisite, alongside said course. in order to get the error overridden, i had to go to the psyche department and go through a million steps in order to be able to register. it took me half an hour. THAT IS RETARDED! i was told that i should take the class, which should have signaled to SOMEONE that the prereq hold should have been taken off, but no, i ended up with a crappy-er class time than i would have had if i could have gotten through before... so stupid...

Sigh-such is registration. It does get easier the further on you go, because there will be fewer people competing for the classes you want.

and you get first pick! i got the right classes just sucky times and the fact that i was barred from registering for a necessary class is just stupid...

But it does happen, it's even happened to me in the last couple of years, and I'm a grad student. In theory we get first pick of everything, before undergrads even get to pick, but those prerec and conflict issues still apply.
