I don't mean the people behind the counter, no, I mean the housing office itself. It's rules and regulations are so strict, and they'll cancel your housing space at a drop of a hat. They seem to refuse to work together with you. It's either you follow their regulations, or you live on the streets.
This semester, I was late for my payment by $8.02. The housing office sent me threatening E mails on how they'll cancel my housing, sent people to my door to deliver letters, and even put a hold on my account.
Now they treat me like a criminal and I have to pay everything up front, which is about 4,500, an insane price for four months.
This is my very first semester, and the only real way I can learn how their office works is through trial and error. Their spot on the University website doesn't tell you jack shit on how they run their office. Not only that, but money is due when they ask for it. They don't have set dates when they ask permission to take money from you, so how would it be my fault that I wasn't able to get the eight dollars and two cents in time?
All they tell you is their insane price, and that you must pay it when they ask for it.
Next semester, they're asking for everything, NOW. I have to pay the ENTIRE 4,512.94 right fucking now, or they'll kick me out. No option to do a payment plan like last semester, or anything, really.
Thing is, the scholarship the school gave me doesn't kick in until the 30th, and even then, it's only a 2,750 dollar scholarship.
I don't have the money to deal with this right now.
I wish outside housing was more available. At least then, they give you a decent price when they give you a tiny little room with just barely enough space to put your stuff in.
Now tell me guys, how should I deal with this crap? Tests, exams, studying, projects, homework assignments, essays due the very next class, stress inducing video games, they don't give me any stress what so ever.
The housing office, now, that's another story. (A story that I just told)
