University’s not right for me!


The Christmas decorations are packed away, school, college and University’s are back. Unless you find yourself the parent of a third level student who tells you that they are not going back to UNI. The harsh truth, however, is that very many students will probably be re-examining their options before the year is out. The statistics are sobering. According to the Higher Education Authority, about 17 per cent of students across the seven universities drop out of their chosen course.
