I am writing this on the behalf of my brother. He is a 30 year old person that has overcome a great deal of problems in his life. He was educated in Hamilton City Schools going to special classes from grades K through 12. He still has a great deal of difficulty with spelling, math, and comprehension. Southwestern College promised him smaller classes, close supervision, and one on one tutoring if neccessary. That is what he was promised upon his enrollment.
Now moving to the classes. The teachers were not told of his special needs and shafted him, ostracised him, and belittled him infront of his classmates. He passed one English comprehension class barely and upon asking a teacher in medical terminology for assistance she immediately told him he was a waste of her time and she gave him a failing grade.
As he feels that he can not keep up with his peers he was switch from the medical assistance program to phlebotomy. He was again shafted and after one quarter in Southwestern College and at this time called Sallie Mae to ask about the student loan. They told him he would have to speak to financial aid at Southwestern. Southwestern refuses to return the funds back to Sallie Mae and insist my brother will have to pay his student loan on funding and a seat in their classes that he will never use.
He sat in one quarter in two classes and they are insisting that he pay $2500.00 or 50 payments of $50 a month to Sallie Mae. I wish I made that kind of money! So basically my dear young brother that is delayed and slower than the average person was defrauded and ripped off by these scam artists.
I write this in hope to save others from my brother's fate. If you are thinking about going or returning to college please, please don't go to Southwestern!!!
