Another one is that a graduate found out that their student loans had some sort of administrative error. Instead of being cleared as they should have been after graduation, they were being told they owed thousands more. It took months to sort out the paperwork and deal with the financial institution, causing a lot of stress and worry about their financial future.
A young woman moved into her college housing and found that the mattress on her bed was completely stained. It looked like there had been some sort of liquid spill that had never been cleaned. She was horrified and had to fight with the housing office to get a new mattress. In the meantime, she had to sleep on the floor because she couldn't bear to touch the old one. This whole process was really frustrating for her.
A student worked hard for four years, maintained a high GPA, and was excited for graduation. However, on the day of the ceremony, they realized that their cap and gown were lost. The university's bookstore had run out of extras, and they had to sit in the audience instead of walking across the stage. It was a huge disappointment after all the years of effort.
Sure. One horror story is when a student thought they had met all the requirements for graduation but at the last minute found out there was a hidden course they hadn't completed. Another is when the graduation robes got lost right before the ceremony and there was no time to get new ones. And also, some students had their diplomas misprinted with wrong names or majors.
Sure. There was a girl who was the first in her family to graduate from high school. She was so excited and had invited all her relatives. But on graduation day, her parents had a huge fight right before leaving for the ceremony. Her mother refused to come, and her father was in a bad mood. She walked across the stage with a heavy heart, feeling like her big achievement was overshadowed by family drama.
Well, there was this instance where a group of students booked a cheap hotel for spring break. When they arrived, they found out that the hotel was in a really bad neighborhood. There were sketchy people around all the time. One of their rooms got broken into while they were out, and some of their valuables were stolen. They were too scared to stay there any longer but had a hard time finding another place to stay immediately.
Sure. There was this one spring break when a group of students rented a houseboat. In the middle of the night, they felt the boat rocking violently. They thought it was some kind of lake monster. But when they looked out, it was just a bunch of drunk guys in a speedboat who accidentally crashed into their boat. The drunk guys' confused expressions were really funny.
I heard about someone who tripped and fell on stage while getting their diploma. It was so embarrassing. They had practiced walking gracefully in their heels for weeks but still managed to stumble. Everyone was looking and they were so mortified. But they got up quickly and still managed to get their diploma with a big smile, though they were really shaken up.
There is a story where a student was studying late in the library. As he was leaving, he took a wrong turn and ended up in a restricted area. The lights were flickering, and he heard footsteps approaching. He hid behind a bookshelf. Through the dim light, he saw a figure in a long, old - fashioned coat. The figure seemed to be searching for something. He held his breath until the figure disappeared, and then he quickly found his way out of the library.
Well, the history of the dormitory might have something to do with it. It was built a long time ago, and over the years, there have been stories passed down from one generation of students to another. One theory is that there was an accident or a death in the dormitory in the past, and the spirit of that person is still lingering. It's hard to prove, but the strange occurrences keep the horror stories alive. For example, a student once saw a shadowy figure walking down the hallway in the middle of the night, and when they blinked, it was gone. This kind of thing makes living in that dormitory a nerve - wracking experience.
Sure. One horror story is about a student who transferred colleges and found out that half of his credits didn't transfer over. So he had to retake a lot of classes, which cost him extra time and money. He ended up graduating a year later than he planned.
