It cost more for me to test out of Practical Grammar than it would have if I had just stayed in the class. $790.00 more. Almost $800 for one piece of paperwork that would take one person no more than five minutes to enter. I'm pissed. If I had remembered that Arts Core was 2 credits and added that after testing out of Practical Grammar, this wouldn't be an issue, but I didn't. Now I'm still being charged for 12-17 credits, but I'm also being charged $790 for taking one little test.

As much as I love going here, Saint Mary's University screws you over financially. If I had known all this would happen, I would have either sucked it up and gone to school in Poland, or I would have argued more with my dad about going to Madison. Scholarships do not even out a private university with a public one. Now I'm glad I'm graduating a year early. I don't want to give the school another year of money. I don't want to give them money once I'm alum either. I'll tell phone-a-thon people to cross me off their list.

I love it here, but I hate the institution.

I am PISSED.
