    Ah ok we see now. The story is from 2013, the building they speak of is Mount Saint Vincent (the convent building across the road). This has already happened and some of the building is already in use by post grads and staff whilst the remained is still being renovated. The complex (which does have access from O Connell Ave) is more or less an extension of the current campus.

    Hope this clears up some of the mystery of the new "campus" ;-)

    @MISU Office, any chance of some more study rooms? Usually Mary I waits till the end of April before allocating spaces but surely it could be done now? And, like, more than just one room in the Foundation Building. 3 or 4 dedicated rooms wouldn't go amiss.

    We've been trying for the last week to block book some rooms for ye as we are aware things are getting a bit hectic in the library unfortunately the college has no rooms to offer us until Thursday 17th as everything is booked out for orals etc we can't even get a room in Summerville. While we cannot block book there my be free rooms dotted around the place for an hour or two during the day, we know it's not very conducive to be moving around every hour or so but it may be a temporary measure if you need to get away from the library.

    Apologies the response isn't more positive but we'll continue to work on the situation.

    D'uh! I should have thought of Google Maps!! Thanks. :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,428 ✭✭✭Talib Fiasco


    Yeah apparently it's 460m...it's definitely bigger than your standard running track.

    No wonder I die a little every time I go around it :pac:

    If you google Mary I running track up comes 460m and then 480m so I'd say the trundle wheel is the only way to find the right answer :P

    But yeah definitely, I did athletics for years and you definitely notice that extra bit!!

    Great minds and all that... :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 941 ✭✭✭Ciderswigger


    Now I'm curious to check mine again. But I can't seem to log into the www.si.ul.ie page. It's just the usual password for getting on to the computers in college, yeah?

    micstudent/1234567
    Password


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 30,859 Mod ✭✭✭✭Insect Overlord


    I thought it was a 4 digit password for the SI page.

    I thought so too but that doesn't work for me either. Im on my phone though, maybe that's a reason??

    ETA on the site it says 'Mary I students use their portal account to log in'. I dunno what that is!

    3.21am - entered my student no. with no micstudent prefix and the 4 digits and logged on straight away. Weird, I'd tried that already.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,428 ✭✭✭Talib Fiasco


    No the si.ul.ie password is different than the password you have for moodle/lan/computers...happens me every time around exams to get it reset!!

    On another note, us second years are on placement atm and they took down the School Placement moodle page with all the documents etc. There's absolute war over it atm...surely an IT error, they'd hardly pull a fast on like?


  • Registered Users Posts: 34 Dark.Horse


    You can change it from a four digit password though im sure it doesn't have to be...I'm 100% sure mine is the same as my LAN and Webmail password.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 941 ✭✭✭Ciderswigger


    Either way, I tried every option last night and it just wouldn't let me log in. But then after a few hours I could. I've had the same 4 digit password for that website since I started Mary I so I dunno what happened.
