One of my children has been back at college for almost three weeks now. Just today, she is informed that she doesn't have financial aide so they stopped her from using her dinner card and we have been frantically seeing what the problem could be. This is her fourth year at the school so you'd think there'd be a little leeway as they always got their funding in the past. I do have to interject that there has been a problem, mostly on their side, every year so I shouldn't be surprised.
The problem was rapidly resolved. They claimed they had sent an e-mail to my daughter about filing something or other. This e-mail never made it to her in-box . . . Between phone calls to the financial office and the federal loan office, she will be funded by Friday . . . at which time, the school said they would reinstate her meal card!
It seems to me that when you have an out-of-state student who is relying on a meal card, you should see that she is provided with food. Friday is four days away. They generously said she could use her credit card. Let me see . . . The school knows the loan will be funded for a certainty, the loan office has informed them definitely of this fact, we have been informed of this fact, yet the meal card remains in jeopardy until Friday. Somehow, it doesn't seem right.
Another case of Christian Charity not in full use. Wonder if it would be worse or better in a public college? Not the first problem we've had but, fortunately, my daughter graduates in December. She will miss the friendships she has made there . . . As for the school . . .
