"I have a scholarship and 62$ is randomly charged to my account the day of the tuition deadline. Called into financial aid to figure out why and the amazingly rude lady refused to help me or even give me any information. Now it's past the deadline and I am restricted on course materials and supposedly am gunna get a late fee. Due to her neglecting her job. This is one reason I will be transferring schools."
