You know the saying "looks can be deceiving" well Brescia University lives up to that standard. I spent 4 years at this University and every year i had nothing but trouble. The first two years the financial aid department lost my paperwork and then sent me multiple financial statements with my personal information all wrong. The financial aid department can not do basic math and try to get more money out of its students. Every semester Brescia charges an activity fee, even if you never attend. They will not refund the money even if you have proof you never attended any of their activities.
The cashiers office will hound you about your government loans. Every year i have attended Brescia the cashiers office would ask about the payments of my federal loans. They are a University, they should know by now that the government pays when it pays and it is NOT up to the student.
My Junior year i had 3 scholarships that didn't appear on my paperwork (because they lost it) and tried to charge me more money.
If there is a serious complaint we were told to not call the police, instead we have to call a residential adviser first. During my Junior year i lived in the apartments. The girls across the hall were smoking pot and the whole first floor smelled like pot, and even after receiving multiple complaints Residential life only gave them a warning. Even though our student handbook states drug use is reason enough to be kicked off campus...
Art students who attend Brescia are required to have a senior art show. The art shows are held in the gallery in the campus center. One professor, David Stratton had dropped the ball my Senior year. He states "To get a senior show you have to have an art review your junior year and during that review you will then get to pick a date as to when you will have your senior show". This was told to me my senior year after the fact. Then he stated that "they are not required",this contradicts what head of the Art department said "Senior shows are degree required" Needless to say my senior show was in in the Gallery like my fellow artists before me, instead it was in a hallway.
If you have a G.I bill, good luck with getting Brescia to Accept it on time when the semester starts.
If i could do it all over again, i would never have gone to Brescia University. read more
