    What is the cost of going to a fee paying school (Griffiths or D.B.S.) in comparison to a non-fee paying school? Nobody I've asked seems to have a clue of the cost of either!

    For me to do what I really want to do, my only option is to now go to a fee paying school or apply for a PLC next year (making it 2 years before I even start a level 8 course). I hate the thoughts of having to ask my parents to fork out a load of money because I didn't get the requirement for what I want.

    If you dont have the money man do a FETAC course, if you are going straight from school, its a good stepping stone, get you ready for assignments and the like

    I am in the exact same position. I applied for Griffith to do Law, yet the fees will more than likely stop me from doing the course. I refuse to take money from my parents as they've given me so much already. So I will more than likely doing computer science in ITT.

    If law was not my 3rd choice i would be doing it in DIT :(
    Damned CAO

    Where can I apply to to a FETAC course this year? Is it too late to get a place in a PLC for this year?

    Sorry for the double post, but yeah, same situation. I'm probably gonna end up doing Advertising and Marketing in ITT because I got a D1 in English instead of a C3. Possibly 1% stopping me.
