“It kinda sucks because when I tried getting something done at the registrar, the people weren’t there. When stuff goes wrong technically, we can’t get anyone to help us. It’s better than the [professors] striking, but certain services are definitely delayed. At least I’m glad that it’s not affecting my normal schedule.”

“I do find it difficult in courses, especially labs, due to a lack of assistants and technicians. I think their strike has some impact on courses, but I do want to emphasize [that] striking is their right.”
