I attended Westwood College for a semester, and after that semester I figured it was a total waste of my time and rip off. The teachers wasn't so great. One teacher for example, came to class and texted on his phone all day and listened to music on the computer. At the end of the semester the teacher asked me what grade I wanted. I gave him an answer and that is what grade he gave me, whether I felt I deserved it or not. The one main thing that I was really furious about was how they hold on to your money, instead of refunding you your pell grant or other funds that are left after books and tuition, they keep it in a student account that you dont even know about. I found out through another student about my syudent account. She told me how I could check my account and what ever money I had in there was mine. The only way to get the money was to fill out a request form and wait three to five days for a check to come. This really got under my skin because at any traditional college/university the student automatically receives a check in the mail when they have pell grant or any funds for that matter, left over that the school did not use. I really felt bad for the other student who informed me about the student account because she had been there for 3 years and had just found out how West wood really operated. Turned out that she had $10, 000 in her student account and the staff at West wood college fail to inform her about this years ago? Yea right! Just recently I received a letter from the Department of Veteran Affairs saying I owe them tuition for a semester a dropped during the drop periods. Westwood college hadn't sent them the tuition back even though I didnt go there and i dropped my classes on time. Now the Department of Veterans Affairs is saying its my responsibilty to make sure this money gets paid back. The whole situation is sad and I think schools like this should be banned by the Education Department.
