Worst Experience any college student could hope for.

As a 40-year-old returning to college for a third time these type of decisions are not taken lightly nor are they an easy thing to do. This is why when I first saw an ad for a one year program in web and mobile application development it seems like a great idea with a fast track result to upgrade my skillset. Unfortunately when I went in to gather more information on their program I was pressured sold into the two-year program which I clearly expressed my reluctance to For obvious reasons being my age and my experience and background, but I was assured that it would be easy to change it once enrolled. So I enrolled and was admitted in the two years program with funding from OSAP second carrier program $28000. When my classes started Within the first week of classes I spoke to the professor and ask him what were his thoughts on the one-year program versus a two-year program and considering my background he agreed that the one year would make more sense for me. So on that following week I sent an email to administration asking to change my program back to the one year to better fit my needs. Several weeks and months went by still no word I had to send a few emails still nothing happened until finally approaching the end of my first year program I was called in the office to do the switch it seemed they were all a little too late. The result almost $4000 ended up missing to cover my tuition of the one of year program ? How was this possible when I was approved for a full scholarship of two years? Turned out I was not the only one in my class who came to the same conclusion and wanted to switch into the one-year program. On the day of the switch seeing and feeling the pressure of them being last minute to do the switch when I return to class I said to my classmate that if he wanted to get the program switched over it was now or never. So he immediately ran to see his financial officer which was a different one than mine. Same thing happened to him They came back and said they’re was $4000 missing to cover for his tuition Only difference is that his financial officer was able to fix the situation as for mine said they could not do anything. The worst in all this for me is, I worked hard at doing everything that was expected from me as a student, Homework, studying for my exams and I succeeded at all my classes but them was informed that I would not get my Diploma until they would get payed. My internship turned out to be slavery Walking into an internship you expect to be shadowing professionals and experts in the field adding that extra experience to your hard work we walked in what a surprise to realize we were a team of experts and there were no Developers in position to shadow. I have not realized yet that on top of all this they would not let me assist the graduation ceremony with my classmates. Results very unpleasant feeling of having been treated unfairly and like all that hard work was stolen me. Not only did they start calling me about me paying them before I had even finish my program threatening to send me to collections, But just after six months as expected I I am paying my oh OSAP loan every month yet I have a collection agency calling me regularly and they are slandering my credit for their administration mistakes. So if you’re looking to get not much back for all your efforts and having your credit reputation slandered. The worst for me was not being able to graduate twith my classmates clearly that makes me look like I failed my classes and that is a mistake that they cannot repair. Seems to me that Trios College Cares more about their pockets then recognizing the success of their students and that to me is disgraceful.
