Hi All, I have been a student of griffith for 5 years when I was doing my B.Sc Hons in Computing. Being an international student I paid upto 35,000 euro (yes that's correct) in 4 years. I have been associated to griffith off and on in other activities and also socially for the last 10 years. Recently I started my masters…

Hi All,
I have been a student of griffith for 5 years when I was doing my B.Sc Hons in Computing. Being an international student I paid upto 35,000 euro (yes that's correct) in 4 years. I have been associated to griffith off and on in other activities and also socially for the last 10 years. Recently I started my masters and was looking for a discount in my fees being a part of the alumni and ex-student but I'm getting a terrible time trying to get anything off. Finally I have managed to get 500 euro off from the total amount of 7000 euro after trying for 10 months which has also ruined my Masters because of the run around I got. Accounts had kept me blocked from my moodle which resulted in not getting my assignments done on time and no access to course notes. At this stage I have repeats and due to the paperwork not submitted within the administration, I still don't have my results even after two weeks of them being announced. I'm running out of time and dreading that I might have to do my masters in two years instead of 1 year.

I can keep going on and on about it but does anybody else seem to have gone through this or is it just me. Quite sick of it at this stage but I'm stuck now having lost time and money as I should have gone to UCD or Trinity instead.

cheers

What a pity you would be so nasty about my posts. The one with the tax disc was only a query and I have posted it to her at this stage. The reason I sold the car was to pay for my college fees. Now if morons like you get a kick out of something like this then it's not funny at all and you should be ashamed of what silly opinions you can give about someone. You are better off not leaving any comments. I'm sure you are quite a miserable person in your daily life as well.

I'm locking this.
OP, Griffith College is a business like any other. You chose to go there, you have to pay. There were cheaper options available to you.

Nobody here has any influence on how a private business conducts itself.
