5 /5 Aidan: Smc has a decent financial aid office, everyone we spoke to was extremely helpful and definitely led me to actually receiving money I was owed. I do really wish they had a higher amount of staff as the waits can be quite long but if your willing to just spend the time and talk to someone face to face their 100% going to help you. Most of these reviews are complaining about the phone lines and if theres anything ive learned its that simply going in will always result in a better outcome when dealing with financial services, so please take the time to go in and meet with someone instead of wasting your time on the phone.
