North lake failed me. I was enrolled in school paying a payment plan because I had trouble filling out financial aid. I failed the 2 classes I paid for after I saw how serious you have to take college I enrolled the next semester and received financial aid for 3 classes my sap was in warning status. I was told if I passed my summer classes I could keep financial aid. I was unaware of how everything worked hoping my financial aid counselors and guidance counselors would help was naive! I passed all 3 classes straight A’s now my financial aid is gone because of the ratio! No one thought to tell me or guide me to fix the issue at the beginning of the semester now I can’t afford my next set of classes! I could receive financial aid and choose to pay any school I should pay one who is going to help me utilize my money and recourses North Lake isn’t one of them avoid unless you have major experience in the college system!

Even though I live in Tarrant County, I chose to attend Dallas College because they offer way more online courses. It’s a great school and can get you where you want in the professional world.

The enrollment process is such a headache and terrible experience. I was humiliated by one of their employees working in admissions. He was a middle aged man of mixed decent, bald and tall. His tone towards me was extremely condescending, he found ways to belittle me. This campus has often misplaced my documents. There’s no sense of privacy when speaking to the admissions people. Everyone can hear your private business, I don’t appreciate that. There are simply too many people and not enough staff. The process is horrible. They need to figure out their logistics.
