Mike, anyone with a kid going to college is well aware of the costs.
Youāve gone off on another one here.
Iām not on about the costs Harry. Read the posts again.

Itās fast approaching college start time, of course people would be aware ffs
Lads, I can tell ye straight off your kids will be able to start college without paying those fees straight away. They might give you an ultimatum but if the money is in by October, things are usually fine. After a while theyāll start cutting off access to various things after while (online learning hubs, library, exam results, etc.)
Students have often gone a full semester into the academic year without paying a cent. It might be slightly risky strategy for a first year though

Theyāre operating in a small window. Iām surprised anything got out at all.
College fees not an issue here, theyāre small still.

Most colleges allow you to spead the payments across each semester.
I would in my fuck pay everything up front.
Little Johnny might drop out by Halloween sure?

You were best paying for it like lads around here taking grass on the 11 months. Use the land up to October and pay in November after 2 hours moaning and whinging and the cunt drinking your whiskey while youāre wondering whether heāll pay or not.
Itās the framework of an education policy that should be trialled by Government.

Is WIT not strictly off campus for the foreseeable future? Is taking accommodation this year a complete waste of money?
