By any measure a full refund of her tuition is an absurd thing to sue for. The college certainly didn't guarantee her a job; even she doesn't claim that. Whatever services they allegedly did not provide her, their value was not equal to the full tuition she paid.

I have a friend that graduated, and then was disappointed that the university did not help him out in finding a job. Now, he didn't sue. But I graduated, and saw that the university provides plenty of these tools for finding a job.
I found my job through craigslist though. I don't know how many people land their jobs through the university services, but it's probably a good amount.
I doubt this is worth discussing beyond the offhand comment about how stupid she is (I can't imagine the university made this guarantee of employment). She'll probably rack up some lawyer bills, and be further in the hole. In the end, she'll be rightly punished for what she's doing..

Some other kid with a 4.0 GPA got the interview. I don't know why they would favor those types of people over me. My attendance is solid as a rock! That has to be a big plus.
That's terrible. You're clearly being discriminated against. If I were you, I'd go sue that medical school for racism. and sexism too. why not

haha when i was doing some stuff for my financial aid, one of the things i had to agree on was I will be responsible for repaying my loan even if I do not graduate, am not satisfied with my education, or do not get a bill. Reminded me of this story.

I was watching the news and apparently on the court documents she spelled it, "tuitshun," or some equally retarded misspelling. It still amazes me that there are lawyers that take up this kind of case since they're usually only paid a retainer fee and a portion of the amount received.

There's a show about really fat girls, bachelor-style, called More To Love.
I saw like 10 minutes of it and it was just awful...

3 Months out of college and she expects a full time job in IT? And now the fact that she can't find a job in 1/4 of a year she says this college has been useless and everything i've learned here has was a waste of money.
Then she talks about how people who do better in school than her get the job interviews. I wonder if she notices that just because the college asks a company to interview someone, doesn't mean they have to.

Currently in 2009, 20% of students graduating from college are getting jobs. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

I remember watching a report they did on this kinda stuff on 60 minutes like 5+ years ago, how colleges where making billions of $$$ a year of student debts and they pretty much made a hidden camera test and sent a girl/woman in to applicate for this one school and she just acted like a total dumbass and said she smoked pot etc but it's like NO PROBLEM we don't mind.
Something about that they will let anyone in, "educate" them in a profession, promise to help them find that job/position and when you graduate 'dump' you and leave you stuck with 200k $$$ in debt that you will have to earn back working at burger king. -_____-
(Something in that direction, basically society is a bitch, money and results is all it wants at your expense and life.)

I think she needs a good fcuk to figure things out.

to be honest, tech college ads few years ago was pretty deceiving, even in montreal i saw ridic adds like 95% of graduates get a job, which is very unlikely. People are stupid, yes, no need to take advantage of that imo.
