schools for profit or for education

yesterday(feb. 18,09) was the last day of nurses week at my school, to be fair it was okei, well as usual the seminar was really boring they got two old ladies who stayed in place the whole time they were giving their talk, they hardly even used hand gestures, so in short they bored me to death, the topic had potential yet the speakers just killed it, the seminar started around 9am and ended at about 12, we were all so relieved when the seminar ended, i mean everybody loves lunchtime(lol) so we all went to gate 2, which is one of the 4 options of ways to get out of school. oh yeah, earlier we were already told that nursing students aren't allowed to go outside of campus til 5pm, understandable since the school officials are well aware that most student won't come back.. anyway back to lunchtime so we headed to the gate(take note we were starving by this time) so the guard said we had to leave our id, yet we decided to go to gate 3 instead, when we got there we were giving the guard our id's yet he said that isn't allowed( by this time we were so irritated coz it doesn't make sense that at the other gate it was okei yet at this gate it wasn't) so we went back to gate 2 and this he too wasn't allowing students to go out anymore(we were really pissed of by this time) he said that one of the sisters called(i study at a dominican school so sisters are in charge)told them that nobody would be allowed to go out.. so okei fine, what the other students did was they ordered food from the gate, but then the guard stopped them and i mean he was getting mad and rude! he said none of us were allowed to buy food from outside! he said that sister said the canteen provided food for the nursing students(FYI the food left in the canteen was vegetables and a whole meal would cost 60 pesos,on the other hand a meal outside would just cost 30 pesos) so on we went to the canteen only to find out there isnt any food anymore.. so my classmate opted to go to our dean and voice out the situation yet lo and behold they were at casa antonia(a place for gatherings at school) they were there eating there FREE lunch which was payed for by the BSN students..... isnt that nice while more than half of the BSN students were hungry they were in there all fine and dandy... in summary the professors didn't care,the guards were rude and that sister whoever she is had her mind set on the amount of money the canteen would gain from the BSN students... tsk3 is that why she works at a school to gain money? i thought schools were for education? isn't the money we pay for tuition enough?( and really if i compare the price we pay at that school it would just be the same if i studied at a school in Manila) you'd think studying at a school run by nuns would do us good... HMPT! are we FOR the school or is the school FOR us
