i mean what the fuck

i got letter from my college that i have oustanding tuition balance bla bla bla and shit

so i went to call my school which took me about 5 hours to finally get to talk to some guy and i ask him whats up with that and he said something that i did not even paid 400$ deposit that i did when i first got accepted and he tells me he will transfers me to financial aid office and ask them whats up with my loan being still pending, she checked everything is ok/all documents are there and she tells me to contact office of bursar for more info why this loan is still pending...woman i spoke with with bursar office comes out and tells me i need to pay 191$ more... which is not what they told me when i was 3 weeks ago in my school..i mean when i went there, person counted like 10 times how much exactly im missing right in front of me...so i ask her about that loan whats up with it. " she says i need to contact financial aid office" i could play this game all day long WHEN the tuition is to be paid by next monday, and i received that letter on friday

wtf this school costs 23k$ a year for fuck sakes, they could be little more helpful then to transfer me from one office to another and back again and i got really no information why this loan is pending

and did i mention that i had to listen to classical music for most of the time which made me fall a sleep at one point :/

I would go in person and always pay by cheque so you have a record of it coming out of your bank and into their pocket.

Usually they send you a break down list of everything and what it should cost.

Good luck with school Very Happy

wow thats a high interest rate for educational loans.

In the UK you don't have to start paying loans back until you start earning 16k minimum a year, and even then its a minimal amount at a very very low rate.

Yep, its all government based funds, im sure alternate loans would have higher interest rate

anyways i will be studying electrical engineering

thank god i only need to get 12k in loans,

rest is financial aid and scholarish that i received, which is not that bad considering my parents make 70K$ a year, i thought i would not get any

a terminal degree is a good thing, 4 years and you're out with good career prospects without the need for grad school Smile

At first i got accepted to community college which is 2 years for civil engineering but that is a joke

they make $20k after they graduate

but i got accepted there for electrical engineering

most popular major is architecture, when i went to freshmen orientation, out of 70 students 50 were there for architecture and only two for electrical engineering :/
