A student wrote 'I want a refund' on her graduation gown because she feels her education was stolen by the pandemic

Students were forced to adapt to online learning, but some feel they have received an inferior education.

At her graduation ceremony in London, O'Donnell made a statement about her tuition fees.

The University of the Arts London has a fine arts college called Central Saint Martins.

Alexander McQueen, a fashion designer, and Antony Gormley, a sculptor, are two of the graduates of the school.

O'Donnell owes tens of thousands of dollars due to loans and tuition.

She put "I want a refund" on a piece of white cloth and attached it to a chain. She hid it under her robe so she could collect her degree certificate.

O'Donnell asked if he put it on the right way after whipping it over. The student received a boost when she said "Oh my God, I love you"

O'Donnell said she wanted to do it for the thousands of other students who feel unjust about what happened. She said that to get people to listen you have to make them feel uncomfortable.

She told Insider that she initially wanted to write something more crude and offensive, but realized that it wasn't the right way to portray a message. It has to be simple to get people to listen.

Students are concerned about the impact of online learning on their courses. Some feel they haven't received an education comparable with face-to-face teaching while others complain about the lack of practical activities.

It had always been O'Donnell's dream to visit Saint Martins. The ceramic workshops, the metal workshops, and the amazing amenities that Saint Martins provides were the reasons why I signed onto the course.

"For that to not be part of my journey whilst I've been there, I feel like it has been completely unjust and I don't feel like I've gotten the level of education they promised each student at the beginning of our first year."

O'Donnell said she hadn't heard from Saint Martins since she graduated, but that she would continue to do things for the students. I will keep going until we get some form of compensation.

The University of the Arts London does not underestimate the challenges caused by the Pandemic. Staff worked hard to make sure students' learning was supported during the Pandemic. We understand the rights of individuals to peacefully protest and we welcome the chance to hear feedback. Students and graduates are encouraged to speak with us directly about any concerns they have.
