What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Florida.
My brother and I are currently attending Sanford Brown for 3D Animation education. Mind you, I was interested when the college was still called IADT, but when it was absorbed by Sanford and we revisited a few years later so that I could finally join the school, I was told little to nothing has changed. My brother and I were not updated on the status of the college until we had already been accepted and started classes at the college. When we were informed of the status of the college, it was informally and made as an interruption in class. We were assured that there would be no real problems with continue our education at the school and, despite it being accredited, we could not transfer our credits so we were basically unable to change colleges. So, my brother and I stuck with the college and continued working our best at getting good grades and showing up on time. Then, our college couldn't renew its lease on the property it was on, had to move to a secondary building next to Le Cordon Blue, and has lost the majority of its staff. We have no advisers for our department anymore, only two teachers can currently teach us with one leaving within the next term, and the resources we need to complete our education are dwindling (program licenses are expired at random intervals and so on).
Sanford Brown has essentially lied to us and has kept us in the dark for as long as possible. I'm not even sure our degree will be worth the effort put into it, and I'm wanting to know if its possible to sue them not only for our tuition back, but for the time we've wasted at this school? I'm not the only one in the department wanting to fight back. There are two different groups of animation students going to our current location that are being screwed and we're wanting to know how we should go about dealing with this situation.
