I am attending UOP and it stinks. When I first applied to the University I was told that my out of pocket expense will not be no more than $900, which was a lie. I explained to the enrollment council that I did not want to get a student loan because I was a single parent and I would not be able to pay it back. He advised me that I would not have to get that much.
Later on I told him that I wanted to cancel my enrollment, I also talked to the financial advisor and the academic counsel, they all persuade me to stay on. They trick you by using the term tuition, not knowing that you are paying $1482 for one class. I thought tuition was consist of at least 4 classes.
How in the world do they expect a poor person to afford to pay $1482 per class. At that rate, by the time you finish taking 40 classes you will be out of 60,000. If I did continue to go there, by time I graduate and find a job, I will be working just to pay off that debt. I will not be profitting anything.
Another thing, the school suppose to be for working adults, if so, why do they try to pile so much unneccessary work on people. Knowing you have an eight hour job, some people two, plus a family to take care of, how do they expect you to have time.
After my first two classes were paid for, I had a credit of $2736, they would not send it to me. They are just holding it. I guest to make sure you continue the classes.
You know, something need to be done by these people ripping people off like this. I want to quit after I finish this second class but I am afraid that they will send the loan money back and make me still pay the school. I just don't have any money to waste. I am a poor working mom, single that is, trying to make it from one pay check to another. Is there anything that can be done about this ridiculous mess.
