Hello,
I would like to know if I have any possibility of winning a case if I sue my old University.
I attended the school for 2 years and a majority of my student loans are through them, due to their high sticker price. While I attended I became severely depressed and suicidal and was diagnosed with major depressive disorder and general anxiety. My depression got to the point I could not attend classes, and my health deteriorated (I got swine flu, mono, etc). My school knew ( i spoke with the dean of students on a weekly basis) to what extent I was at, and knew i had attempted suicide multiple times in my dorm. I discussed leaving school and focusing on myself but the dean and the on site nurse encouraged me to stay in classes and tried me on different drugs and therapies. I eventually ended up suspended for a semester due to my bad grades and even then they encouraged me to return after the semester (which I did) since i really wanted to get a degree so i could get a job some day. It did not get better once i was back. I rented a single bedroom from the school at the top of an all girls dorm, and after a few weeks back i had already become more isolated and depressed. I ended up getting expelled at the end of that year (again for bad grades) since I could not bring myself to leave my room or study.
My teachers were aware of the situation, the school doctors, the dean of students, they all knew and continued to encourage me to come back and even accepted my petition to return from the suspension.
I did eventually graduate from college but only after I took a year off and focused on my mental and physical health and went to a college that allowed me to live at home where i received the support i needed.
Had the college not encouraged me to come back or spoken with my family (i was under 18 my first year) and told them i would not succeed there as it was I would not have taken out of $20k in loans to attend.
Is there anyway i can get those loans removed since I did not receive anything from that school ( i had to retake every single class after my mental sabbatical as i failed everything there), and they were fully aware of my mental distress and still encourage/allowed me to take out loans and attend classes which they were fully aware I would not pass.
Thank you.
