Parent of Student having issues with hire company of Graduation gown
I'm glad others enjoyed this sort of event. I must admit I did think that it was a money maker for the photographers and gown people, possibly with kick backs to the uni. Maybe it's just me or maybe it was just that one uni.
I’m sure the gown people and photographers make a good profit, after all that is their business. Quite likely that they make a payment to the university for the rights to be the official suppliers.
It’s optional, you can choose to graduate without attending.
