In 2009 I decided to go back to school. Being a basically single mother of 3 boys (and in a abusive relationship), I enrolled in AIU. I knew that I was already working full time and being a full time mother but I really wanted to be back in school. So I called up my AIU advisor and informed them of my entire situation and told them of my fear of flunking out for taking on too much at once. My advisor assured me that if it ever became too much I had all kinds of options. So I made it about 4 months and i saw I was barely making my assignments so I went back to my advisor and asked what I could do to lighten my load. At this time the advisor no longer sounded like I would be ok... they told me that there was ways for me to contact my teacher and there were sessions each week where the teacher broke down the assignments.... I informed him that that wasn't my issue, I reminded him of my concerns before enrolling and reminded him that he assured me if I was overwhelmed that they had other options for how my classes were set up.... He remember none of this and now here I am 9 years later 18,000 in debt and no degree.... I wanted to go back to school but being a single mother of 3 boys doesn't really allow me to pay the 345.00 a month payment plan they offered me
