Finally some understanding and civility

This would have been nice when I was there. Most years I started classes owing about $300 out of $5K to $10K tuition (it changed that much while I was there), and it took a month to scrounge up the remaining funds. During that time I received both written and verbal hostility from the Bursar's office, threatening to terminate my meal contract and other student privileges. It got to the point that I contemplated bringing 30,000 pennies up in a wheelbarrow and dumping them on the floor.
