Complaints create student awareness

I am writing in response to Mr. Costakis's letter on (Monday).

I agree with the point you made about the large number of complaints made by the students. But instead of asking the students to "stop taking everything as an intentional shot." I am going to ask every single person here at Purdue to complain about and criticize everything they think is wrong.

When you said Purdue students are particularly hard to please, maybe it's because Purdue students want our University to be the best.

As we all know, the Purdue faculty and staff are not going to take every complaint into consideration, but at least we give our opinions and share them with everyone. This is the way it should be, so that a small problem can be discussed before getting worse.

If something is bothering me, or I think something is wrong, I often try to ignore it. But the next day, I often see an article or letter about that very problem in the Exponent.

I will be extremely happy because someone wrote about that issue, and instead of forgetting about it, they share it with the Purdue community.

Hey, Boilermakers, keep writing. We want the University to keep improving.
