Misleading, money hungry

So... After finding out that UOP still had not tried to obtain my financial aid funds nor had they filed my paperwork for federal student loans, I'd had enough.
I faxed in my withdrawal forms today and started looking at signing up for classes at the local community college again.

WOAH! Phone rings... I see it's UOP and I let the machine get it. My "Admissions counselor" is on the phone saying that if I don't take another class that they will NOT apply my financial aid funds and that I'll have to pay out of pocket. Let me state here, that these classes are $1,300.00 EACH books! I don't know about you people, but I cannot afford that, nor did I know before my first class that the classes would be that much. I was TOLD that the classes would be about $600 each... Of course, this was just to get me to sign up and start classes.

NONE of the initial paperwork that was emailed to me, had any pricing info on it. I was suckered in before I knew everything. Yes, I know... Stupid me. I'm not trying to get people to feel sorry for me, I'm hoping that if enough of us speak up, we'll prevent others from going through this.

A former UOP student told me..."you should have checked them out on usacomplaints.com first!" Yeah well, I didn't know what that site was at the time, let me tell ya, now I do. God it makes me nauseous. I wish I had known before I signed up. I have no clue how I'm going to afford this.
