They do not need to call my home after 9:00 at night. I find it hard to be nice to the "student" who: wakes my children three nights in a row with a post 9:30 pm phone call and who tells me that because they are a non-profit they can call my home at whatever time they choose.
Furthermore, I gave my annual donation already and don't appreciate repeated phone calls asking for more money.
Ireceived a phone call just after 9:00 PM. After saying hello at 5 times, there was no response. I used *69 to learn the number. I consider it to be harrasment.
I got a call from them. They left no message. I can't understand how they could need money. When I was a student several years ago anyone who couldn't pay the tuition got kicked out. Based on this "pay as you go or get kicked out" sysyem, they can't possibly be out of money. Besides, if they are broke where do they find $47 million a year to spend on their sports program? Last I checked the purpose of college was to get an education, and sports, especially at a state school, was a distant second on the priority list.
yeah this is ridiculous. They call me and my parents at all hours of the night. I'm a current student! If i'm paying them $25,000 a year, i highly doubt they need anymore from me. I just don't get where my money is going...actually its not even my money haha student loans because rutgers wouldn't give me scholarships. Apparently my 3.9 gpa wasn't good enought. Grrrr... But anyway, don't give these people your money. Their current students are paying enough.
I'm not sure why the word students is being surrounded by quotation marks; the person calling you is indeed 9.5/10 times a current student of the university. Also, if you aren't thrilled about being called at 9:45 or 9:30, avoiding the phone call is probably not the best way of going about that--Just pick up the phone & kindly explain that you're household is in bed & to designate this phone call as a "Call before 9." VOILA! Done.
Also, I'm shocked to hear that people are complaining about fundraising. Whats so difficult about helping the university you graduated from? RU is #1 in the country when it comes to alumni support; its been that way for years. I hope this new generation of graduates doesn't change that. I honestly cannot believe what I just read from the above poster.
Sacrifice what you'll spend on one trip to Burger King & help put books online for students, help increase scholarship support, keep libraries open past 1:00AM, and help BOOST Rutgers' rankings. People, these are your alma mater, please be nice & please help out. Communication is the key to solving life's dilemmas, big & small. God bless & see you On The Banks.
