I have been in school for 1 year.
I was on the Deans list and recieved $34,000 in grants, I also had to take out a $8,000 loan to keep me in classes 3 months ago.
My degree would be an Associates in HIT (Healthcare Information Technology).
It would take me 1 1/2 years. I have 5 months to go and the total is already $42,000.
Everytime it is time to register I am blocked from doing so.
Im for sure that I have gotten scamed and that many more students have as well.
I believe they know who to target, and who they can get the most money from.
Noone tells you the same answer either, and most of the time they collect all of your information, like your address, social, email address and phone number and then they ask "so what can I help you with?" you start to talk and the phone goes dead.
You call right back, your ignored and on hold for an hour until you just give up.
I plan on contacting an Attorney, and I would even support a class action lawsuit. It is obviously a Scam.
Im sure that a graduate would do fine, if they would get that far.
If I choose to drop the school now - they still get to keep ALL of the Grant money I earned through the State. And I would still owe DeVry more.
Its out of control and something Must be done.
We are getting our lifes turned upside down for Nothing, we are getting our credit scores messed up, and taking unneeded loans out.
We are starving and barely making it - just trying to get through school to be able to survive and take care of our families, while DeVry and the other associated scammers can have fabulous Lifes, houses, the best food, and clothes.
Oh... Also I was looking for Internships. I must complete 80 hours at a hospital. I found a listing for my Future Career that cost Me so much! - with "Will Train" next to it... Is this really happening to us?!
Does anyone have any advice on what to do or who I should contact, I thought about DateLine or 20/20.
