Well like the title says i'm pretty much screwed. My goals my Aspirations the need the want is in reach but it feels tremendously too far away. Maybe I can get some help here. Basically what has happened to me has been a lot of mistakes in a short period of time. It's not that I failed out of nursing school or got into trouble with the law its basically financial and frustration and stupidity.
I should start from the beginning. Well to be honest I think it all stems down from being in a bit of a hurry or a standstill because my family at the time was in the process of selling our house and this was back in '06. So it's December we finally fond a buyer and 2 weeks later we were gone to NC. Now at the same time I had a scholarship to Iona college and if I didn't attend in January I would have lost that. So feeling under pressure I went and I got put with the Worst room mate you could ever think of. He drank till 5:30am every night and it eventually caused me to fail everything. I got suspended from the school for a year and what's even worse is my tuition was still due about 14K with financial aid and without it is was 17K. I'm ashamed of myself for letting that happen. Now I got home and we eventually had to put my grandma in a nursing home and with that came me going to see her twice a week taking my dad to see his mom. Now don't get me wrong I have no problem doing it and it helped me getaway so to say and see her but it didn't allow me to get a job because whenever he went was always a different day. A year later she succumbed to her illnesses of High blood pressure, Diabetes, Leukemia, Dementia and a few others I believe but she finally looked like she was in peace.
So, the problem that I have is that I can't get my transcript even though unfortunately its horrendous and I don't want it to be see even though regardless of it I would have to start from scratch. I really don't know who to turn to where to go how to get help to pay that tuition bill that I have so I can get my transcript. I wish a lot that I never went so I would be able to do what I want A LOT easier. And in this economy who is going to give you a loan ? which makes everything else so much more worse and only compounds the problem. Any help would be Greatly appreciated And I know this probably isn't in the right place so if anything move it to the right place please. And to add that i'm currently in NC but im desperately wanting to move back home to nyc. I even have a job waiting for me there when I graduate...IF I can
things may be different where you live but here (uk) its a very bad idea to get a loan to pay of a student loan/debt because loans have huge interest rates and are more enforceable against you.
i know how you feal about haveing a loud room mate, at my uni i have lived in halls where it seams everyone else parties all night every night, we get out own rooms (no shareing) but if everyone else in the building is screaming and banging on doors all night your not gonna sleep!
even if the op starts from scratch, he will still have to send his transcripts which obviously means paying off the debt. it is illegal not to send your transcripts. to the original poster: i agree with one of the other responses, talk to the school you owe the debt to. maybe they can offer a payment plan? or maybe if you pay a certain amount, see if they will send your transcripts. explain your situation. some schools offer "academic forgiveness" programs which help your gpa.
don't give up yet, there has to be something out there for you.
good luck
it's not illegal, it's a college policy. there is a huge difference.
a violation of law will put you in front of a judge to pay a fine and possibly jail time.
the other will simply get you dismissed from the college, if discovered.
