Redeemer Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Today I found out that my university is getting shut down, or at least they're attempting to. This university is my future, my only hope of making a life for myself and my future family. I was linked to a petition, so would you all please sign it? Full story: http://www.bbc.co.uk...otland-15022124 I feel like... I don't even know how I feel. This petition only needs your signature, you don't need to donate afterwards, so just close it once you've submitted your signature. http://www.ipetition...mpaign=Petition It may also help if you join this facebook team: http://www.facebook....?ref=ts&sk=wall This affects me badly because Abertay is the only university in the UK that does my degree. I will not be able to transfer or complete my degree if the university is shut down. Abertay is also the best in the UK for video games development, so the UK is losing out entirely here.

Steve Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 They are still entitled to finish with their semester and still help their students transfer somewhere, or at least they should cover that on terms and services. I'm not entirely sure, but going "lol no, eff you, bai, good luck" seems like something illegal to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jesseboyd7 Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 @ Redeemer. I'm just curious. Are you concerned of the cost of tuition going up too? I did a little research on your school and it appears other students are starting to complain about the costs there. Roughly £11,700 per year for your studies! (In US dollars $18,000!) http://www.thecourie...ition-fees.html And if government funding comes to a halt there and if Albertey University still runs, probably tuition would climb even higher. I knew that those universities and colleges over in Europe are gonna shut down soon. And the United States are gonna get the same thing here later too! The National Inflation Association was right in their predictions that nearly 20% of schools here in America are going to shut down because of rise in tuition fees by 2020. BTW I posted College Conspiracy here on SF-O earlier. Take alook on the film at 26:00 http://starfox-onlin...800#entry318800 Redeemer and others, I'm not interested in bringing in more bad news or spoiling your educational goals. Everyone has their own goals of what they want to do successfully in life. I personally like computers and I went for a 2 year degree at a tech school. Computer Networking Specialist. But I was left with $11,000 in debt to pay back (currently paying right now). And my own school that I just left graduated has continued to raise their tuition as well. --- I tried to sign the petition for you but I don't have any $$$ in my Paypal acct. sorry bro. I do hope your school continues though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redeemer Posted September 23, 2011 Author Share Posted September 23, 2011 Yes I'm concerned about tuition fees rising, they're already almost too much to handle. But I would keep paying if I could finish my degree, which, if Abertay is closed, may not happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
