    So I went to this state funded school just to pick up a few forgien languages. They lied to me about services such as showers in the rec center gym right off the bat. I paid fees to use.They began attacking me with slander halfway through my first semester there. They cohericed instructors to lower my grades and attempt to publicly humiliate me. They continues attacking me over email and while I was away for a semester suspended me which would mess up my classes because I was in higher level consecutive language classes and they legally trespassed me for 1-2 years. Then I told them where they could stick it and they expelled me, charged me a fee for expelling me and began committing fraud on my student account and further harassment. They charged my student account about 3k-5k so I wouldn't have funding to go anywhere else. They wont take or return my phone calls. They locked me out of the school system immediatly on expulsion so not only do I not have access to emails or evidence of fraudulent charges but I dont even have tax paperwork. They were hoping ***** would write it off and they could pocket it.They have continually claimed things that make them FEEL threatened are physical threats of violence. ie "this is your last warning". Which they got from spying on my email (Felony) and conversations with instructors out of context. Their trans staff have harassed me with their trans police friends while on my way to my lawyers office (in university) trying to ID and intimidate me. Upon contacting HECC I was blown off and told to file a complaint with the fraudster staff pulling all this. I passed all my classes even though they tried to lower my grades continually but it lowered my GPA. PLEASE WARN PEOPLE HOW BAD THIS SCHOOL IS!!!
