This is really horrible for those students who are left with unfinished courses! I know first hand how hard it is to find self-funding for education. I hope tho

  Funding ie loans, isn't the problem the students have with this. It is the transfer of current credits to another school that will allow them to continue education. In my previous years, I went to a for profit college catering to US armed forces members. I did not graduate with a degree, but a total of 52 credits. I still have a ton of student loan debt for this. Currently I am 1 semester away from completing my BS at a different school. More loans. Exactly 0 credits transferred from my first attempt to the current college.

    > a for profit college catering to US armed forces members The government expects army candidates to cover military education experience by themselves, did I read correctly? Or, is this aimed for active service members?

      When I say catering to, I mean they college advertises heavily to the active duty armed forces and works with a deployment schedule a lot better than some other traditional colleges. There are certain use cases where using GI Bill or Post 9/11 bill makes since WHILE on active duty, but generally you would use those after discharge. I did not use either.

        Is there any reason you decided to take loans instead of using the GI Bill? Genuinely curious.
