| Comment | Yeah I got an offer because I applied months ahead of most people but a bunch of other people didn’t. I know students coming from places like Ukraine and people on scholarship. While I can afford to not have guaranteed dorm, there are plenty of students (some of them friends) who simply can’t. The university guaranteed accommodation to all those who applied before August 25th and all of the sudden that guarantee was taken away. It effectively pushed tens if not hundreds of people into the private rental market too.
I’m sorry if you didn’t mean it that way but I think my anger is justified. I’ve studied at other unis across the world and have always had myself and others be taken care of when it comes to accommodation. The university is our support system while in country and this is just unfair in general. I can admit that I (an individual) made a bad call and still hold the uni (a business) accountable for pulling back their guarantee. |
