Getting screwed over!

Amanda

So I am currently going to school at a community college. I moved 2 hours away from that college so i went to online classes. Now I want to move to a different college near me so I can actually get help when needed. SO. I emailed my school and asked how I can do so because I have a financial hold on my account. They said in order to move on to a different school I have to pay my remaining balance to that school by February... that is in 3 days and it is $4000. Is anyone getting screwed over by college like I am or what? I have only herd of people having to pay for college once they graduate and get the job they go for not during. Help me through my tears 😭😭😭
