Why did USC financial aid just screw me over a few days before the spring bill is due

<p>?</p>

<p>I applied for a private loan that would cover the remaining cost of the spring bill, plus a little left over to buy textbooks.</p>

<p>USC certified about $500 less than what’s due for the spring bill.</p>

<p>Why would they do such a thing?</p>

<p>I’ve been on hold trying to connect to a financial aid counselor for about an hour now.</p>
