Well here I sit
10 years ago
I always read every comment even if I don't respond!
4 hours past my bedtime, ready to break down in tears and my homework due tomorrow STILL isn't done.
This class is a typical community college bait and switch, easy as pie to keep students enrolled, then as soon as the refund deadline passes, the difficulty skyrockets to encourage dropping so that the school and professors have to do the least work possible. No wonder their graduation rate is 23%.
I described this school to a new student as a Cadbury Creme Egg filled with jizz and spoiled mayonaise.
You buy one and take a bite, how could the colorful wrapper and sweet delicious chocolaty shell lie to you? You cross the line of getting a refund and take a huge bite! LIES, nothing but LIES. The instructors have no fucks to give and as soon as your money is pocketed they reverse polarity and seem to encourage you to go away.
I started out in a class of 40, the last refund date it was 37 est. Within the 6 classes after that date we are now down to 25 est.
Not to mention this is my 3rd degree I'm pursuing (the first 2 were dropped). Long story short it's like I'm a potted plant growing towards an open window only to have it slammed shut when I'm mere inches away. When I ask what I'm supposed to do now (yes I'm a talking plant) they point to another and say "go to that one instead". But I've invested all this time and energy growing towards this specific window! "Looking at your credits you'll be here for at least another year before you'll qualify for a similar degree... NEXT!"
aaaaaaand the school will enroll ANYONE into a basic 100 or 101 level class without any thought. Hell they'd allow a corpse to sign up as long as someone paid their tuition fees. So much of the professors time (and ours) wasted on individuals who clearly didn't have the mental capacity for anything higher than ditch digging, sign holding and walmart greeting. If you have a question about step 1, don't wait until we're on step 12 to call them over and expect to be 1 on 1 brought up to speed by the professor while the rest of us wait on you. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for equal opportunity for education. I just think that like minded people should be grouped with other like minded individuals. Just because they both paid for it doesn't mean a 3rd grader and 12th grader should be placed in the same math class...
I fucking hate the state of my life. Get up early, sit in traffic, grind away at an underpaid job 5 days a week, sit in traffic, pray I get home in time for a night class 2 days a week. Pull the homework out of my ass on Saturday, do all the errands I have no time to do during the week and pretend that it's a relaxing me day. Sunday broil in the sun doing yardwork to make up for what my first job isn't paying me. Little to no time for myself. This further back up my theory about the deadline to drop bullshit the school is pulling. I did see the class get extremely hard suddenly, but it's only now I realize that was AFTER the deadline to drop date. Clever girl... clever girl indeed.

And pulling off scams in education is wonderful, it really destroys peoples hope and nerves and should be illegal in my opinion. >_>
This is not the idea behind education to drain somebodys money and then let them fail on purpose.
