Hahaha... The Office of Financial Aid Incident

Colleges & Universities A-Z University of Notre Dame

<p>I called to check if my FAFSA was received today.</p>

<p>I was put on hold at first.</p>

<p>About ten minutes later, a lady comes back and asks, "Are you being helped?"</p>

<p>When she said that, I heard "Are you being held?" </p>

<p>So I said, "Yes."</p>

<p>And I was put on hold again.</p>

<p>This repeated one more time. I wondered why she kept asking me the same question, and I realized that she actually asked if I were being "helped." </p>

<p>So I quickly stuttered, "Wait! Wait!" to catch her, but I missed her and the pleasant melody of the hold button started playing.</p>

<p>I finally got to talk to the person on my third attempt and took care of everything. </p>

<p>Using English as a second language can lead to a bizarre problem like this.</p>

<p>Sometimes, it's just tough to hear every single word.</p>

<p>By the way, who works in the financial aid office at Notre Dame? Angels?</p>

<p>They're so nice!</p>
