Student fianance services most likely to NOT get an award for good organisation. From this date they have only just started to look at information sent to them from July 14th, although i don't see how this is possible since some students have only apllied for their finances two months ago and have allready received their money. Other applicants like myself who had applied in January aren't likely to even get their finance by the end of the year .
Which means a whole term of debt has been added to my name aswell as many others. This means that personal funding is having to be made mainly by parents, who are having to egt themselves into personal debt. Other personal funding methods are, attempting to get a job which is impossible in this day and age especially in a university town.
Many students like myself are being pushed out of university due to lack of finanaces. The system is awful, it doens't seem fair that people who applied eight months ago for their finance won't be getting it until a whole year later and others get theirs within seven weeks.
I feel sorry for the advisors on the end of the phone who have to deal with countless crying and angry students 8 if more hours a day, lets hope their wage is half decent. The company cleary hasn't employed enough staff and i'm surprised the ones who are working their haven't left yet due to the countless amount of abuse they recieve every day. Calling them is also impossible, your lucky if you get to be put on hold otherwise as soon as you call you get a message then hung up on. Once you get put on hold after an hour ou also get cut off then you have to start all over again. The service needs some serious improvements made to it as it is having a huge effect of peoples future.
With a lack of jobs furthur education is vital to many young people, proving this year to have had over subscribe universitys all over the country, with many students with A grades being rejected from their conditional places.
My freshers year has been seriously affected by this and I certainly find it hard to enjoy myself due to stressing about this situation. Fresher year is supposidly one of the best years of your life, not for many people this year , as going out isn't even an option when you can barely buy bread and pay for your laundry.
