    Is the concept of a student e-mail kind of outdated anyway? Most students have their own e-mail addresses anyway and I don't think I've received one communication via my uni e-mail that I hadn't already heard about or seen on Facebook or Moodle. I understand it gives students a formal e-mail address name which a lot may not have. For example, Joe.Bloggs@nuim.ie is respectable if you're communicating with someone but jazzerslad2k7@hotmail.com isn't.

    We had to do some course in 4th year about eriting CVs and the like, they told us that we shouldn't use our NUIM email as we don't know how long we'll be able to access them for or if they'll be shut down after a certain amount of time after we leave the college ... So anyway, moral was make a gmail that looks professional :)

    Maybe some of the money should be used to improve the north campus a little, in winter it looks like Pripyat! :P

    Everything behind JH looks pretty grim it has to be said. Rye Hall and some of the Admin buildings look like prison blocks. I think most people agree that burning down the Arts block would do a lot for the aesthetics of the North Campus.

    Are you final year next year? It would be really handy for final year. What are the restrictions like? Is it the same as the rest except you can't have parties or prinks?

    Actually where is the quiet zone?

    Yea I am, thats why I was thinking it's just easier to be on campus than to not tbh. And it's nice that there wont just be parties on 3 times a week in the apartment lol
    Thats what Im sort of wondering though how stuffy it is there for day and evening noise levels and apparently cleanliness is a big thing.

    I think it changes each year, but Im in Erne next year :)
    So excited to be in River, I was in Village last year and just dreamed of the luxurious life of River haha

    Yeah Village walls are paper thin. I was drinking in one of the apartments during Freshers week and without going into too much detail, you could hear EVERYTHING ;) going on upstairs.

    I really hope that that gets found soon considering it's the weekend...

    Though I did once abandon a carton of cranberry juice on a shelf there. When I sent back for it it was gone :-(

    Has anyone ever actually been refused entry to the library for bringing in food? I bought in a large coffee and sandwich from starbucks without anyone at the desk batting an eyelid.

    Yes, the librarians have gotten bitchy with me in the past. They get more on edge around exam time. That's why I always bring a roomy bag ;-)

    It was freshly bought and still sealed so hopefully the smell wont be as bad !

    I searched everywhere for it but no such luck :(

    RIP Milky, you were a great friend for those 5 mins it took to walk from Londis to the Library.

    Does anyone know much about the one off rooms you can rent on South Campus? Are they specifically for Maynooth students or could you book one for a friend through your own student ID?
