Sad but very true....

That was the exact reason why I left Famu... I spent more time standing in line at the FA office than I could in class. And if I didn't I would be evicted from my dorm room or wouldnt be able to get books or eat. This is a stress that should not be put on anyone...especially a freshman! There would be lines forming in from of the FA office at 6a in the morning in order for people to get in to see someone about thier money and when it was coming.
I remember very vividly getting an eviction notice put on my door and after that having to spend 6 hours trying to get a stay of eviction and the FA officer to tell me that this happens all the time. If you know this happens and that yall wont be getting the money until the end of the semester why even try to kick people out or take thier meal card from them?? It seemed like every week or so there was something wrong. When the rest of the state systems universities are getting their money within the first weeks of school... FAMU doesn't get theirs until near the end of the semester.
I loved FAMU...lawd knows I did... but if i had to go through that nightmare again...it would have kilt ( yes kilt) me dead!

I couldn't be worried about whether or not they got their notes right when I have exams and studying to do.
