It all started with a student refund check I received last Friday. It seemed to me that I wasn't getting as much money back as I should have. So I called the financial aid office for my college on Monday. It turned out that a scholarship (one that was supposed to pay full tuition) and a grant had not gone through yet. I wasn't very worried about the grant, but I was definitely worried about the scholarship. I was told that the reason that it hadn't gone through yet was because I needed a housing waiver. Yet when I asked about the waiver a couple of months ago, they said that I didn't need one because I was going to a regional campus (i.e. not the main campus, but a local one affiliated with the main campus). I was then transferred to housing after I explained my situation. After explaining again, the secretary said that she'd call me back.
I never got that call.
I called again on Tuesday. I had to explain the situation again and I almost had to talk to financial aid again. Again I was told that I would get a call back. This time I did, from the director...at least I think it was the director...or some higher position XD. She believed that the whole thing might have been a computer error and told me that she would talk to the secretary in financial aid.
Again (Wow, I'm using this word a lot, aren't I?), no call.
Today, I refused to call them back because I felt it was a waste of time. And I was probably upping the phone bill due to long distance
. I realize that there are many students they have to keep up with, but I just couldn't help feeling forgotten. Not to mention that it is annoying to been tossed back and forth between departments. It was pretty much "I don't know, go ask X department."*sigh* No matter how much I hate it, I know I'll have to call them again eventually. Gee, I feel like a Teletubby. Again, again! XD
Will I ever get my questions answered? Tune in next week to Unsolved Mysteries! *eerie music from said show plays*
*UPDATE 8/14/08: I've finally gotten everything sorted out. Whew.
