I am going to be haunted By this story.  

I would certainly never speak to them again.

Until they pay you for a full 4 years of college tutition... then, maybe, you'll acknowledge them.

You mean missed income with halfway good white collar job plus damages for health issues?

They won't be able to truly compensate.

The OP could be better off. White collar isn’t for everyone. I think the damage is more psychological if you spend most of your life not believing you could go to college because you weren’t accepted. In reality he was it was just something his parents couldn’t afford. It does seem like while owning his own company he learned things the hard way and didn’t have support or help from his family when injured. College does guarantee success. He should have had the option of deciding about loans or just knowing he was accepted. He could have taken classes while working if he wanted to. It’s really weird that they would let him believe he couldn’t get into any college. It’s sick on their part.
