I just started at the UOP in May and I already feel like something isn't right and things are starting to go ary. I began by calling to get some information about classes and transferring credits and financial aid from another school. The next thing I knew I had been assigned an enrollment, academic, and financial counselor and I was scheduled to start classes in about a week. I was told that everything would be simple and I would not have to do anything, that the school would take care of it. They even walked me through the FASFA to change and update all of my information. There was a lot of information that was not disclosed prior to being enrolled like how much the tuition actually was and how much financial aid I would need, not just the MAX amount which I was coersed into requesting. I remember attending another college where that is one of the first pieces of information I was given. I found out that I now owe a balance to another college because I was told to take my previous college off of my fasfa so that UOP would receive my aid. That other college advise me that I should have just added UOP to my financial aid application. That is when I realized that something was wrong but classes had already began. Not the mention that I am almost 30 years old and my counselors sound like they're 19 and know absolutely nothing. I've never heard the word "ummmm" used so much in my life. I don't know what to do now because I have already started classes and I'm afraid of the bill that they will drop on me for withdrawing and I will not be able to attend college anywhere else so I am still attending classes. Not to mention that it appears the school is way too expensive for the kind of education I am receiving. I've had better schooling at the community college I attended and it wasn't ran by the students. Someone please help me!!! Anyone wanna take it to court I'm there and I'm sure I'm not the only one.
