The biggest mistake of my life

If nothing goes wrong, you can have a decent experience, but if not, this university will destroy you and your soul during the "formal complaint process" where you can expect countless lies, delays, contradictions, and everything in between except the truth and accountability for their own shortcomings and mistakes.

It doesn't matter how many times you contradict their lies and claims that make no logical sense, if they can't lie their way out anymore, they will just ignore it and randomly address something else instead.

Not to worry though, after a year or so they will still be gathering evidence as all previous responses to all previous stages of the formal complaint process have been based on witchcraft and fantasies.

In the end, no matter what you choose to study, you'll end up studying law because you'll have to fight a monstrous university with a multi-million dollar budget on your own.

I've done an undergraduate degree, a postgraduate diploma, and more than one master's at different universities, all of which had their problems. I can confirm that all universities seem to behave this way, because they know the Office of the "Independent" Adjudicator for Higher Education (OIA) is not independent at all, but if you go straight to judicial review then the judge will find against you and tell you that you should have gone to the OIA first. The OIA is made up of various organisations that defend universities, with only one student organisation - a weak one, the NUS. The Board of the OIA is made up of mostly university staff and former university staff. And they find in favour of the universities in almost all cases.

So in short, the universities know that they can get away with a load of stuff. I suggest finding an alternative route to get compensations from them.

Take my advice at your own risk.

Occasionally the OIA finds against a university - a token gesture so the paid Board Members can justify the existence of the organisation. You may be lucky. But even when they find against a university, they award an idiotically tiny sum of money, if they award any at all.
