I watched my student loan go up in flames... [View all]

Yesterday my balance was zero, and it showed a refund that would be due to me. I had even received a call from financial aid assuring me that student loans then go to the bank get rubber stamped and then the refund comes back to us.

This morning I looked and behold, my balance is back up to $6,000 and there's no refund at all! Poof! Gone! It's as if I never applied for student loans in the first place.

I have yet to see a comment from our school president, student government, or any other school affiliated group. I spent yesterday sending emails to all of the above asking whether or not we would be safe.

I have a midterm too today... I don't want to drop out, but I'll be damned if I'm going to end up owing money for an education that I didn't even receive! I'm so fucking pissed!

WHERE THE FUCK IS EVERYBODY?! IS THERE ANYONE STANDING UP FOR ANY OF US!?!? 😞🤬🤬😵‍💫
