I should've done my research before signing up!

Like everyone else, I thought UOP was going to be great. My Admissions counselor made it sound like signing up would be one of the best things I'll ever do for myself. He started my FAFSA paperwork and everything was going good. He explained how the GI Bill would work and that it would cover my whole tuition. So I thought "Great! I really don't have to worry about paying for school out of pocket." Well, everything started going great up until a few days ago. A co-worker of mine asked me how classes were going and asked how much my GI Bill is covering. And I didn't even think about my GI Bill until he mentioned that. So I try to get in touch with my financial aid counselor and said that she didn't know that I submitted any paperwork for it.instead of trying to find out if it was submitted, she re-directed me to their VA office. Well, the VA office told me they never received anything. So now I have to complete extra forms that should have been taken care of before I started classes.

I went onto the VA website to find out if they'll cover the classes I already took. But as far as I'm concerned, they don't. Can anyone answer that question for me?

Anyways - when I was trying to find out more about UOP's financial policy, I came across this website and saw how horrible UOP really is. So I'm dropping all my classes and never going back. I realized that it is not convenient to be going to UOP because you have to log on and post dumb ass messages to people that say the same things, so you really aren't learning anything. I've been losing sleep because I stay up reading a bunch of pages that are just crap because the teacher only finds one or two things to talk about in those pages. All the other pages are just useless.

I'm not having any problems taking care of my loan payments... Yet. I'm sure they will try to pin something on me saying that I have to pay the entire amount of the loan, even though I only took two classes.

I know some of you have said that you can't get the Official Withdrawal form from them. Well, my financial aid counselor has been nice enough to send one to me. So if you need it, please let me know. I want to try to help out as much as possible. Because I know that everyone does not have the luxury of throwing money away and wasting time for a degree that doesn't even count in the real world.
