Lo and behold. I got a hold on my diploma, not that I mind that too much at the moment, because I'm a summer 2009 grad anyway. So, I won't be getting mine till probably late fall. Of course, that means I have something on my account that I need to pay for, other than my summer session II class.
Clickity click. 95.83 buckaroos. What the fuck, Stony Brook? You don't know how to round it to the nearest tenth? Not only did that got my blood boiling, they don't even tell you WHAT the damages are. It's listed under 'dormitory damage'. The charges were updated 6/16, it is now a week and 3 days passed. HOW DID I NOT GET AN ALERT EMAIL SAYING I HAVE A HOLD ON MY ACCOUNT?
What. the. fuck?
That's not all. Right now I'm all the way on the other side of the earth, and I cannot contact Stony Brook until I return in 8 days. All I can do right now is to send them an email and just HOPE that they can squeezzeeee a litttleee bit of their free time to tend to a little student like me.
If you all know me, I'm a money pincher. Especially about things that are not worth the price. I'm not gonna just let it slide like this. I got a few friends to help me and also contacted my suite mates and asked them about if they got charges on their account. J said no, which means that the 95.83$ charge was either only on me, or both me and my roommate Y. I couldn't get in contact with her, but later I received her messages on what the charges were. I'm pretty sure her charges were the same as mine.
About $30 worth of damages on carpets. Excuse me, but the shitty carpet was already stained BEFORE I moved in. What do you think we DO in our room Stony Brook? Conduct science experiments?
Wait for it....THIS is the best part,
About $60 worth of damages on mattress. "EXCESSIVELY STAINED MATTRESS". WOW.
My whole Saturday was ruined. I went on a short trip with my host parents, and the 95.83 charge keeps on popping back into my head. It was just hanging on top of my head like a relentless rain cloud.
A few friends told me that they were also charged for ridiculous things, for example, TOO MANY chairs in the suite! I'm not going to let this go. The first thing I do when I get back to NY is sleep, but the second thing I do will be to call their asses and demand an appeal.
Go to hell Stony Brook.
whoa stony brook is being mean...why senior year all of a sudden? you guys don't have like a room check before you move in and before you move out? cuz bu makes us fill out a paper saying that this dent was already here or this stain was here too etc before we move in so we don't get charged after we move out...i hope things get better and they take the charges out!! in the meantime, feel better and have lots of funnnn!
ReplyDeleteO we do, we definitely do. I had an RA come in to check my whole suite right before I moved out for the summer. I made sure that everything was alright before leaving.
ReplyDeleteNot. paying. shit.
