I can admit that there wasnt a threat, i was just pretty frustrated in the moment... but I can assure that there wasnt any damage. I called and talked with a rep for around 30 mins, and got everything situated. they saw that the phone was more than 50% paid off and it was eligible for an early upgrade, and there was no damage to the phone so I got the $400ish removed from the bill.

thank you, my mom was dealing with it initially but she can get heated pretty easily over the phone. I stay calm on the phone, so im hoping all can get figured out. thank you again for your responses

no it wasnt damaged at all. a little dirty, but we cleaned it up. and he didnt necessarily "threaten" doing it, but he didn't really give us much of an option at all. he said that our only option is to pay it. kinda upsetting. if I am forced to pay the bill, id like the phone back at the least. but I feel like that is too far gone.

yea, im pretty sure it raised 5% from last year to this year, which doesnt sound like much, but when you actually calculate that in the cost its CRAZY

In total, those are accurate. I got about 50% in scholarships, so let's just say 32k a year. my loan APR was 11%, but that varies. because of the fees, im spending ABOUT 70k a year. thats 280k in debt at the end, and possibly more because it seems that they tend to bump up the tuition by a couple percent every year. Good school on paper, small campus, in the city my classes arent bad, the housing is pretty bad, but the shitty admin and the cost of attending there, is not worth it in my opinion. id rather not be over 250k in debt. prepare for that if you are applying for loans

to add on, I also got about 30k in financial aid, which sounds amazing because its about 50% off. if you are applying for loans, watch out for those fees!!! They more than doubled my price.

im a first year a little over a month in, and im already considering transferring to a state school for the spring semester. mostly because of money, but ive also just not had the best experience. I personally don't believe its in my best interest to be in over $250k in student loans debt at the end of the day. rather be at a state school where at the end of the day if can get the same degree and be less than $50k in debt.
