To not return and use the money?

[Itllneeditsfeet23]

Keen to hear opinions. Genuinely haven’t decided yet.
started a masters course last September. Knew within a week or two it was the wrong decision. Absolutely tried to get transferred but uni were unhelpful and I decided that I would just do the bare minimum and see it through. I needed to do this to meet the terms of a generous conditional PhD funding agreement.

well things have got worse. The lecturer of two of our modules absolutely hates me. They arrange random trips and events and give me a hard time for not attending when I live 2 hrs away and have kids and no friends or family. My childcare closes at 6 what can I do? So I show up to the scheduled lectures about half the time.sometimes I just don’t bother because it’s so expensive and such a ballache to get there. I complete the assignments to a high standard and I’ve produced some really well received project work. Struggle to see the issue personally, but this lecturer constantly picks on me. One day I went and I was 4 minutes late and they started going off at me and trying to make a scene to embarrass me so I just turned around and walked back to the train station.
i don’t think it’s worth it anymore. This place was heavily discounted due to being a first class graduate from the previous year. I hate the uni but stayed because it was the cheapest way to get the MA. Now, if I don’t go back and pay the fees and keep the money from SF due in a couple of weeks I could use it to purchase a big chunk of an online MA and I’d have no commute so I could work more hours per week.
Are there rules against knowingly letting SF pay me then just not paying the uni and not returning?
The course is heavily undersubscribed because it’s shit. It’s not like someone else would have wanted my place anyway. The online MA will be a better option if a bit more expensive I could enrol and begin in Jan.
should I?

@ClottedCreamScone there is no one available, ever at student support or anything. The place is like the Fawlty towers of universities. They ignore emails for weeks and there’s never anyone in the hub. I’ll be glad to move on for sure.

I totally do know what I'm taking about, and just because I tell it like it is is not your business, nor is why. You don't seem to understand how contracts work, whether for courses or for furniture. When you sign a contract to to purchase something the cost is due from that moment, and you can't just walk away and say / do nothing. You are being incredibly naive if you think people can.

Funny how neither one of you have a constructive comment to make or, in fact, any idea at all, but call someone who does understand university fees a liar - and you think I'm the judgemental and rude one? With three postgraduate degrees I am fairly positive about what the contracts said because I read them. And people who are autistic often don't dress things up. What I have said throughout is 100% accurate. All you have done is post nasty comments without a single piece of advice.

@Neriah if you'd been within ten feet of a postgrad course, you wouldn't be saying any of the things you have. Advice is only useful if you're not making it up...
