Major: Chemistry (This Major's Salary over time)
I came to CHC twice. First when it was all girls and then transferred back in when it was coed. The reason why I transferred out the first time was because they offered me this enormous financial aid package my freshman year so all was good except the campus was a bit depressing, it was not the same as attending a state school socially. When it got to my second year they yanked all or most of my financial aid grants and it was way too expensive. Like 30,000 a year expensive and my parents could not help me. When I transferred back in the second time same deal. Promised lots of grants ect then yanked my senior year when trying to finish. When I went to the office for help with it they just told me to get a private student loan to pay. Not knowing much about it I did take out ALOT of private loans. To this day I am in debt up to my eyeballs. 700.00 a month loan payments to pay back and nothing to show for it. I do not regret transferring somewhere else because 1. the financial aid office helps me if I cannot financially afford it 2. I can actually afford to pay myself if I am not able to get a loan. 3. The major offered at my new school is giving me an actual license to get a job. Most of my friends that graduated from CHC do not have good jobs and have massive debt. Its just not worth it they provide liberal arts degrees teaching degree may be okay.I can thank CHC for helping me learn more about getting in massive debt and nothing to show for it.
