My roommate is new to Ithaca College this semester. She recently found out that a loan she needed to stay at this school was not going to come through. She found out when she got a letter from the bursars office saying, "You have ten days to locate the owed amount or you will be asked to leave Ithaca College." She didn't receive the letter until day two of her alloted time. I do not understand how Ithaca College can let something like unpaid tuition go unattended until my roommate only has ten days to get over seven thousand dollars and not get the letter to her until she only has eight days left. They did not offer her any advice or assistance. She was all on her own. I think that this issue needs to be addressed. If I am paying $40,000 a year and so are the other 6000 kids at IC there are no excuses for not offering struggling college kids help with financial aid and if IC really can't come up with that sort of support the least they can do is give her the full ten days, and not take up two of those days sending the letter 100 ft to our mail box.
In case anyone was wondering she's still here.
