“Unhealthy Learning Environment”
JD M
Australia, Graduate
, 2020
OverallFollow up review – After escalating my complaint to the Student Ombudsman the heads of the course increased their attacks against me and I have had no choice but to withdraw while I am dealing with these complaints.
I requested compensation for the gap between what I paid and what I received. Around the same time a female teacher who had tried to build a relationship with me outside of the school was acting unprofessional towards me in my classes with them. I told them we had to stop interacting outside of the class until we had a more professional education relationship. I think the person knew that they had acted out of line and gave a partial account of what happened to the heads of the school. Instead of asking me what happened from my perspective the heads of the school took the teachers word and attacked me about the interactions. I then provided the email history of the interactions in question and the teacher was found to be in the wrong and is no longer working for Griffith.
The thing that bothers me most is that a teacher who was acting inappropriately towards a student complained to the heads of the school about a student. The heads of the school did not look into anything and attacked the student. After it was found out that the teacher was in the wrong and the student requested an apology they then bullied the student out of the university instead of addressing the issue ethically and professionally.
I feel like this would have been addressed very differently if the sexes of the people involved were flipped… Really disappointed with Griffith, I couldn’t stay in a course teaching ethics, professionalism, empathy and how to have a healthy interaction with clients when this is what I experienced dealing with the people running things…

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Many international students live in apartements and you get to know each other easier

Personal comments
The university staff helped a lot to find the right accomodation for all new international students. There was now on campus accomodation, which I would have preferred. But in the end it was very nice to live in the city next door to permantent australian residents and other students.

“Griffiths University Degree”
Angie T
Switzerland, Undergraduate
Business Studies, 2017
Overall
Griffiths University's online delivery of their Bachelor programs was very useful, user-friendly and effective.
I had finished my degree in under 4 years (inclusive of nearly 1 year break) and all faculty staff, and other services were genuinely helpful.
