STOMPer TGFR thinks it is ridiculous for SMU graduates to be
paying $130 for grad night, even if it is going to be held at
Marina Bay Sands.
Said the STOMPer in an email:
"SMU grad night 2011 ticket is too
expensive!
"Although it is held at Marina Bay Sands, the
students should not be made to pay $130 for one seat!
"SMU has always been known to be glamorous and does
things the lavish way, but pushing the costs to the students is too
much.
"The organisers have noted the students' concerns
but it remains to be seen what changes will be made.
"In my opinion, the organisers should have asked for
feedback from the current batch of students, on where they would
like to hold their grad night dinner, and how much are they most
willing to pay.
"With SMU located in town, there should be many
choices but they decided to go for the very high range of
MBS.
"Grad night should be a memorable and a celebration
of the students' life in SMU and it seems a shame if the school is
cashing in on this, leaving the students not much of a
choice."
