    I think its going up again next year, the idea is that a stepped fee increase is less noticeable than one big one:mad:

    There are other threads on this - its not a DIT thing, its the HEA that set those fees. Its gone up in every college.

    I think the idea is generally just to rip off families be they rich or poor. I think fees should be set according to a household income. For example, someone on the dole shouldn't have to pay more than 1000 euro for their son or daughter to go to college every year..and someone who is earning over 50'000 euro per year should only have to pay a nominal capped fee of maybe 1'500-1'750 euro per year. you can't blame the college but it's a disgrace that a load of rich fatcats can just hire fees for students once they hit second year. People put up with way too much. When this fee does go up again there should be mass protests in the city centre.

    They gave me a second Giro at registration for an additional grand and a half.

    I'm pretty much fecked, I already had to take out a credit union loan to pay the first half, heh.

    Yeah, I only qualify for 1/2 fee's or something like that? I wasn't really paying attention to what he said.

    Nope. I did a month of a course in DIT about 2 years ago though, then left. I'm guessing it has something to do with that.
