Westwood College, Woodridge, Illinois
Watch your financial aid papers closely if you go to school here

I attended Westwood College at the DuPage Campus in Woodridge Illinois. I was glad to finally have received my two year degree in Graphic Design and Multimedia. But, the financial end of the deal was horrible. I had to watch all of my papers closely and have my accountant help me with my paper work to make sure the school wasn't over charging me. Before I graduated in May I found out the financial department tried to over charge me $4000.00 in tution. My last semester their was part time and they tried to charge me full time status. Thanks to my accountant and all of the paper work I had saved, I was able to prove I did not owe the extra $4000.00. After talking to several people and a meeting with my accountant, financial aid rep, director of financial aid and the executive director of the school I was refunded the $4000.00. Attending Westwood College was not all bad. If the financial aid department improved I wouldn't have a problem with the school. The reason why I am telling you my experience is to make sure you double check everything, don't sign unless you are absolutely sure of what you signed. Read the fine print in the contracts. Do credit reports on yourself to make sure you are getting the correct financial aid. Get copies of everything you sign and have your financial aid representative sign it as well. Save all of your paper work and have an accountant look it over.
