Unemployed New York graduate to sue college

A woman from New York who has been unable to find work since graduating will sue the Monroe College where she studied for her degree, the New York Post has revealed.

It has been reported that 27-year-old Trina Thompson went to the Bronx Supreme Court in the past week to file the claim against the college where she previously studied. The graduate hopes to get back the $70,000 that was spent on tuition fees whilst she worked towards her degree in information technology. According to Thompson she did not get the help she had been promised by the Office of Career Advancement Department. The family are also concerned they are going to face more debt now some student loans are due to be called in. The college has described the case has not having any merit. In the lawsuit the former student said: "They have not tried hard enough to help me." But the college states that it does assist its students in finding work. A spokesman for the Monroe College said: "The college prides itself on the excellent career-development support that we provide to each of our students, and this case does not deserve further consideration."
