4 Kieran FitzgeraldThis is a disgrace. Many students have no choice but to drive to exams, rather than spend hours on (poor) public transport. This merely adds to their difficulty

11 AnonymousThis is absurd and yet another attempt by the university to squeeze money out of student's who don't have any!

17 Tegan DobbieThis move, along with the rest of the university's actions in reference to student parking this year, are simply disgusting attacks on students who must drive and park their cars in order to study and sit exams. During exams, most students take time off their part time work. This leaves them poorer than ever during the exam period, making it harder for some students to find the money to eat properly during the time where they should be taking care of their health. A further cost of $20 during the exam period will put students in financial difficulty. What will be the policy if a stressed student arrives with no money, their wallet forgotten at home? No parking, and miss your exam? Or park half an hours walk away, and just be late? Perhaps just park ilegally and wear the fine. This move is a further example of Monash University's lack of respect for its students and their wellbeing.

20 Stephen KunzWe students go through a lot to get our degrees. We work part time to sustain ourselves, keep a roof above our heads and food on the table, and often have to go without textbooks or lunch, as we can't afford both. We're confronted with an uncertain future burdened with study-related debt and are subject to great amounts of stress at the ends of each semester. A stress that is further compounded by the university pulling this upon us, at a time when parking fees have already increased by over 250%. It's a penny-pinching affront to the needs of students that are already being squeezed from all sides.
21 Kevin AnthonyThis is outrageous! What was once a free service is now costing students up to $20.00 for 4 exams.

27 AnonymousPlease keep exam parking free; let's get serious about what students now have to financially endure these days. This is getting ridiculous.

31 Jill CoxIt is grossly unfair that students should have to pay a specificly set parking fee simply for finishing thier studies for the semester or year. There are already a number of other fee increases and new fees that have hit students this year due to lack of funding, and it is getting too hard to do basic things such as travel to classes, expecially for people who support themselves.

34 Kate MarshallI have just paid over $200 to park on campus, why should I pay to sit a compulsory exam? How much more money can monash take from us? $20 is my lunch money for a week. This is so selfish on Monash's part

39 Naomi SnellStudents should be able to park for free.
40 AnonymousPlease don't charge for parking during exam times. With everything that has increased in price this year, it's placed a large financial burden on students and as students we don't really have a lot of money.

43 Juan MunozI disagree with the University imposing this fee and the way that the university fees have increased so dramatically this year.

46 Kavita PetersonWe seem to be paying enough for education nowadays as it already is, it's certainly a shame that we have to pay to sit our exams as well.
