    Bergen Community College's billing department must be still using old Apple IIE computers because they like to bill people 7 years later.. actually they send it collections, I'm sorry. Well during that 7 year period you never get any notices from them about any over due fees. If you call the office at the college that deals with the money, you get to speak to washed up old dry cunts who can't have a shred of humanity in them when you ask them a simple question like "WHY DO I OWE YOU MONEY" But i guess thats what you get for going to a shit ass county school instead of a real one
