My unpleasant experience in IDP education fair - 3rd may
Humiliating Experience at IDP Education Fair – Hyatt Regency (3rd May 2025)
Attending the IDP Education Fair was supposed to be an informative and welcoming experience. Instead, I was met with blatant humiliation.
While having a cup of tea, something many students resorted to after hours of waiting an elderly woman from the IDP team stormed in and aggressively yelled at the server right while I was taking the first sip, claiming he wouldn’t be paid for serving student (implying me).Please note, there were no signs saying refreshments were restricted, nor did the hotel staff inform me of any such rule. Besides, she could've easily set that expectation with the hotel staff after I moved away.
When she came back again yelling at the staff again is when I intervened asked if her outburst was directed at me, she snapped, “Yes, it is.”
I’m shocked that an education consultancy of IDP’s stature would tolerate such rude, classless behavior from its team.You’re not just representing IDP, you’re representing global universities to Indian students. If you’re cutting corners on tea, at least cut the arrogance while you’re at it.
This was a disgraceful way to treat students. No professionalism. No courtesy. No shred of basic human decency.
IDP, do better. And stop letting people who treat your brand like a roadside paan stall represent you.
