Sitting in his bare living room without a couch, Jay Bergstrom said he can’t afford things like furniture until he pays off Flagler College.
Bergstrom withdrew from Flagler during last semester after emotional issues made him decide it would be best to take a break from school and go back home to Michigan.
“When I withdrew, I worked out the student loans and everything and I found out I owe Flagler $1100,” he said.
