Southeastern Louisiana University A waste of 4 years and thousands of dollars Ripoff Hammond Louisiana
Not only is this THE most unorganized mess I've ever seen, but everything you do there costs money.
First, I'll start with their "scholarships" They make it sound like you're going to go there debt-free for your first year or so. A few weeks before school starts, they slap on fee after fee.
Not only that, but they make sure they screw up and send out the "award letters" AFTER the deadline for student loans through your bank is over. So, they can offer their own loan and make the interest off of it.
Do you plan on staying in their dorm? Add a $900 MANDATORY meal plan. Thank goodness you got the $200 housing scholarship. I'm not an invalid, I can go out and get my own food! Plus, the housing rent doubled over the summer, and I couldn't pay it. So I lost the $200 scholarship, and a $100 application deposit.
For people who are supposed to be "educators," they use absolutely no common sense, and expect you to know everything even if it is your first time. And these people plan on teaching ME something?
Calling them up only gets you voicemail, and only occasionally do they answer e-mail. Going in person is the only way to get something straight, and it only works half the time.
Don't waste your time with college. It is a SCAM by these universities to make big bucks off of you. They make you beleive you NEED this education to suceed but in fact people who don't have it are better off!!!
