<p>Because I believe that the atmosphere of universities are to an extent shaped by those who manage it and that the personalities of people that are expressed are affected by the environment in which they are exposed to. Now, if the university does not do its part in making students feel welcome, this may cause the community to be a little less tight-knit, especially if the university does not plan getting-to-know-people events for freshmen. Also, the email conveys that the university could care less about the students’ concerns, which may create an atmosphere of indifference in the university. Furthermore, I guess the respecting others’ opinion comment came not so much from the emails, but more from some of the responses to this thread such as " You’re acting like an entitled crybaby," and the mockingly sarcastic, “Their acceptance letter will say, “Dear angelolee69.” Hope that will make it all better.” Now, I’m not sure what the university is like, which is why I am asking on this board. I was convinced that it would be perfect for me. Now, I am a little less sure.</p>
