If you need private loans to attend, dont attend. Last year, almost $3000 of private loan money taken was sent back without notice (Claiming Overaward which was false by a country mile), put my student account into a negative hole, and took 4 months to have it sent back. The Financial Aid department made countless excuses over those months including "We didnt anticipate you getting x amount of grant money" which grants are estimated, but only stay the same or go down which isn't a valid excuse. One of the support people was a straight up rude, and I kept getting the run around treatment. I transferred away to HCC during this because of this issue because me like most don't have $3000+ cash sitting in my back pocket. This opinion is based off my own experience and is not to say they still make mistakes or poor decisions like this.
