Eastwick Colleges

Review: I was forced to take out a loan to cover payments for the RN program in 2014. I took the entrance test 3 times and failed, of which I paid twice from my pocket $1200.00. Now I'm out of the program and I am faced to pay back for the loans one for #9,709.50 and another $2, 000.00(maybe), even though I did not enter the program. I don't think this is right to pay for something that I never received. I paid for all my prerequisite subjects from my pocket. I would appreciate if you could help me.

Response:

Ms. [redacted] was accepted into the Eastwick College RN program beginning October of 2013 after passing the "Step up TEAS" entrance exam on the first attempt. She was able to transfer a large amount of credits into the program due to her six year LPN career. She failed her first class "The Bridge - Transitioning from LPN to RN that October quarter. In the January 2014 quarter she successfully completed both "Normal and Therapeutic Nutrition" and "Developmental Psychology." She attempted "The Bridge" class again in April but failed and a third attempt in August in which she failed again. A student is automatically withdrawn from the college upon the third failure of a core nursing course. She is correct in the amount of loans she took out ($2291 federal and $9215 NJ Class), however, she fails to mention that $5446 of those loans went to her for her personal use. In addition, Ms. [redacted] fails to mention that she also had tuition reimbursement from her company/union. Considering all these facts, no settlement is order.
