Troubled ASA College Closed But Left Students Out In

Like many of his fellow international students, Edwin Rodriguez, 30, came to New York from Colombia to attend college with nothing but ambitious dreams for his future. But after nearly two and a half years studying at the long-troubled for-profit ASA College, which abruptly shut its doors last week, he says he’s been left with thousands of dollars in debt, no degree, and ASA holding his student transcripts ransom.

“I feel I lost two years of my life,” said Rodriguez, who enrolled with ASA College in 2020.
