When I applied to college I had dreams of earning a degree and someday working in my field of choice. The fact that I was unemployed without the funds to attend college did not stop me from wanting to go. I applied financial aid and start working on accomplishing my dream.
When it was time to apply for aid again I applied the day the new term opened. However, the aid had to be verified and the college dropped the ball on verifying it. I was issued a bill. I withdrew from the university due to their inability to complete my financial aid in a timely manner and their ambiguous course. I tried to transfer to another university I found out they placed a hold on my transcript. The university informed me that I could not return there or transfer to another university until I pay them. They held my transcript hostage.
It has been six months since this happened, and my student loans are coming due, because I am not in school. I do not see how any college can hold transcripts on an unearned degree and the government still expects you to pay the university that is not allowing you to complete your education.
