International students must unite to oppose tuition fees that cannot be refunded.
International students are being robbed by universities across Georgia. They demand that you pay your tuition fees upfront, and if your visa gets rejected, they refuse to refund your money. If something unexpected happens and you haven't even started your course yet and want to withdraw, you still won't get your money back. Many students have died โ and I swear, the most shocking case was at one university where a student died just one day before the course was set to begin, and not only did they refuse to refund him, but they simply deleted all his records.
Students need to have the right to complain, and it seems like their rights are not being upheld. Universities create contracts as they go along, changing the rules whenever they please. Everything can change in a split second, and under contract law, students shouldn't have to sign new contracts if they've already signed one at the beginning. Universities are twisting words and twisting information.
It's time we filed a complaint with the Ministry.
