Has anyone else noted similar problems?

UCL's main problem last year was that it had fewer application forms than
students - at least once the first wave of people who'd messed up their
form went back for a fresh one. Why on earth can't you get the forms from
a tube station, or download them online? I haven't seen the online
registration this year, but that sounds like a step in the right
direction.

UCL's main problem *this* year is that they computerised the annual
re-enrolment process, and in the process decided to throw away all the
data about who funds graduate students, meaning i had to rummage around in
boxes of three-year-old correspondence to find a letter proving that my
research council were actually paying me. I wouldn't want to be the people
in the fees office dealing with seven thousand and some such letters, but
to be honest, i have zero sympathy for them.

Rant over!
