      I am going to make this Long story short. I received a bill in the mail about a month before the 2023- 2024 school year was out for $3,000. I was not surprise since that's what we paid for our son to attend the first semester. It is what happened next that surprised me. I called my son and informed him to go to financial office the next day to find out why we were just now receiving a bill with school being less than a month from being over, and to confirm what was owed. My son was told that he did not owe $3,000 but $15000. We were told that our taxes had not been verified. I asked why would you need to verify it every semester. I was informed that they only verify it once at the beginning of the year. So I asked how was my son allowed to register for classes a second semester if nothing was verified and he owed that type of money. I got crickets with every questions I asked for financial office supervisor. I got to speak to everyone but the person in charge of the financial office. I am entering my doctorial program, I have attended two community college and a total of four Universities. I have never been allowed to register for a class owing any money, especially not $15000. It was not enough that my son was recruited there to run track as a freshman and disbanded the boys track team the same year that they started it. My son could have transferred to a school that cost less in the middle of the year had when been made aware of any of this. Now we have to find away to come with $15,000 so my son can transferred to another school next fall!

      Lindenwood is stealing the money of families. The financial aid department has no clue what they are doing and they should be looked into for fraud. Every semester my financial aid packet is incorrect and I have to fight with them about it to no avail. They will refuse to let you see your own financial paperwork to try to correct the issues. Finally, at the end of almost every semester, there is a random charge of between $1,000- $4,000 that they "forgot" to add to my bill. They do this without any explanation of what the charge is for and why it's added, then slap you with late fees for not being able to pay it on time. They will also give out tuition refunds because we overpaid, then demand it back because "they gave the refund by mistake". The university is doing something shady and hiking up the cost of attendance. Lindenwood is only in the business of making money without any regard for the students and faculty. I would never recommend this University, which is unfortunate because the faculty care about the students and want to help, but their hands are tied by the school.
