Thread: Finances

Can anyone tell me how students are financing their education please? A private message will do. Thanks

Hey Kylie, I think you go to SMU? I do as well. i was browsing this school's site and noticed their curriculum mirrors SMU's curriculum EXACTLY, term for term, course for course.

Now i understand why it is said that a lot of smu students transfer here. the website is impressive and the faculty seem so as well. but their link with manipal/kasturba should be viewed with caution. that school is shady as all get-out.

As an AUA student, I will put a rest to all this Manipal/Kasturba bulls**t. The purpose of the twinning program is for U.S. financial aid purposes only. No residencies, no clinicals, no nothing . We get U.S. loans because of it. now go play in open traffic.

its shady b/c the school is circumventing the DOE and using another school's accretidation to get its own students loans. unless you are doing part of your training at KMC its shady. the jury is out on wether its even legal so if comes back as some ok loophole more power to the school for finding it but governemnt things run slowly so just b/c it isn't shut down doesn't make it kosher and you may end up having to repay every single penny at one time back to them..read the fine print in the fedreal aid contract.

its the students signature, the students credit, and on the students credit history....the school has an offshore untouchable account....

Agreed and well said. BTY explain your Avatar to us.

Has anyone bothered researching the law that was posted a few months back about the twinning program?
Apparently not. I am not a student at AUA but was curious and just checked out the law with that auaadmissions posted on the web. It appears from the was the law is worded that it is a legit way of getting funding for their school.
If i misread then I would liike someone to show me publicly here where and how!!!!
