Brooks College Sucked me in and then spit me out Long Beach California
I had little options of what I could do when I was graduating from high school. I wasn't too sure what I wanted to pursuit or who I wanted to be. I had family members who were sales reps for clothing companies and who had started their own clothing shop. I thought that could be a career that I might enjoy as well. One day I hopped on google to search fashion merchandising to see what career and education possibilities would pop up. Brooks College came up in the search, I liked what I read about the school and sent an e-mail for more information. Two seconds later a rep from the school phoned me and quickly sucked me into the fashion merchandising program. Next thing I knew I was attending Brooks College. I came from a family that was not able to be financially supportive so I was all on my own. Brooks College made it very easy for me to get a student loan through sallie mae. Nearing the end of the program I was $25,000 in debt without any interest. When it came time to get an internship to complete the program I was working full time and taking 6 courses. I had to graduate that semester because I could not take out any more loans. I looked to Brooks for help to find me some where I could intern near by because I didn't have a car at the time. The counselors recommended that I get an internship when I returned to san diego and I could record my hours that way and finish my degree.
When it came time for me to leave I needed help finding a job they guaranteed I would have by the end of the program. The counselors brushed me off and told me they only helped students who stayed in Los Angeles. I returned back to San Diego and quickly started searching for jobs. Every where I went I came back empty handed because the education and experience I had was insufficient. I decided to continue my education but quickly learned that all of the credits I earned at Brooks were non transferrable and I would have to start at the very bottom at a community college.
It has been two years since I left Brooks. My loans are now deffered and already up to $41,000 because of interest. I feel that I was very misled and deceived by Brooks College and their sales staff. Now I have learned that the school is shut down because of all the lawsuits against it. I have many friends that I met through brooks that are suffering from the same situation with their student loans. We need justice with this non-accredited college!

The same thing happened to me. The Elizabeth Brant School of Business, launched by then delegate; now senator Emmitt Hanger. Ran by a guy called Dr. Stuart Sandow. The school was a one year school of Accounting, computers, shorthand. You cannot get an Accounting job with one year of Accounting. You need to have at least 4 years, a Bachelor's; preferably a Masters, and to be able to pass the CPA examination. Also, the computer curriculum was funnysick: there was no computer curriculum. The guy teaching beginning computers had just got out of prison for committing insurance fraud! The Accounting teacher wasn't much smarter than I. The school was shut down two years later for defrauding the government. However, it was in regards to so-called prison program violations in which the Elizabeth brant school of business had a contract with the Federal or state government, or both. The U.S. Dept of evil {so-called education} and all agencies doing business with the government have no business being in the loan business. If you can't afford it, don't borrow it. And it is still true today. Government governs best that governs least. It was a lot better when the Federal, state and local governments didn't have their fingers and fists in every aspect of every citizen's life. Now the govt says "we will provide you with free health care and free education". The U.S. Dept of evil is not to loan or sponsor any loans to disreputable institutions. It is illegal in any event. The United States Constitution states clearly and concisely that the Congress regulates. These alphabet agencies are accounable to no one and they take full advantage of it: look at cps. They are braindead government bureaucrats; hence they haven't the brains to figure out simple common sense stuff. They are NOT to loan. In addition to that, they blasphemously ignore the 7 Year Statute of Limitations and the Homestead laws that were passed to prevent leeches such as the U.S. Dept of evil and DCSE from harassing and ruining people for the rest of their lives. Repeated letters to senator Emmitt hanger go unanswered. The U.S. Dept of evil will not negotiate at all. They only understand stubborness, callousness, intransigence, unscrupulessness, ruthlessness, unreasonableness, going to collection agencies {which have no right to exist} and hounding people. They just leave a number for payment; not for negotiation. E-mailing and writing is useless. FDR left a lot out, didn't he?
