I'm 29 and in my last year as a student attending the Art Institute. It's been a rough year, I started the year off great until this spring when I received a surprise in the mail from the school. Apparently, AI Pittsburgh wouldn't release some funds and therefore made my tuition skyrocket at the end of the quarter leaving me to have to pay over $1600! I was told by AI Pittsburgh that those funds had been released as I was no longer attending their school and having transferred to AI Atlanta. The long story short, I've been screwed out of my education. I've been working and working here in Atlanta and haven't been able to attend school, during the summer break--which I took to allow me to find other sources--which I still haven't--to pay for college it turns out they also decided to tell Salle Mae that I wasn't enrolled--well guess what, I never withdrew and they are going to get the sharp end of my sword--legally!
Tell me about your horror stories with the Financial Aid office! I'd like to hear from you!
Thanks!
