Today, I tried to contact my college's financial aid office. After listening to the same damn "Our counselors are busy" message for over an hour, someone picked up the phone and hung up immediately. FML

Good to know I'm not the only one the system bends over and goes to town on. But as far as driving out there to speak to them in person goes, it's about a 9 hour drive assuming there isn't too much traffic, which there usually is, so that's not a particularly viable option

Maybe you should rethink your FIRST choice of college >:)

You would think for the tens of thousands you pay in tuition, they would hire more people to answer phones!

How terrible; the college you pay a lot of money to go to won't even discuss money with you.

I think I actually said this at the end of my FML when I submitted it, but the mods removed it before publishing it lol

I hope that doesn't happen to me when I go to college.

same thing happened to me. and because they wouldn't communicate and I couldn't get correct information from anyone I talked to (even in person) I ended up with no aid and I was in debt by $2,500 before classes even got started.

Alot of them do it constantly, so it's not your fault, OP.

Who the hell stays on hold for over an hour.

People who desperately need things? Welcome to the real world.
