It's happened again

Laguna

It's that time of year again (it's an annual thing.. like easter, it's not a set date, it happens sometime during window of time), the time that comes when i realise what a **** college this place is in comparison with REAL colleges like Waterford or UCD.. I mean i hate this place! The societies are a joke, the food is ****, no student bar, sub standard lecturers - Eamon Cass - I'm talking to you...ah and Carlow's depressing as well!!!... anyone agree?

ShayK1

if you don't like it then LEAVE!!!


I agree that we have some **** lecturer's and Poisonous Food but you gonna get that in most placs if not everywhere you find Campell's Catering!

but we do have some great women right??

Go getta transfer so

Laguna

god that's surely a stupid attitude.. "Just leave then" i've done a year here what's the point in leaving to go back to year one?

The_Goose

laguna trhink you hurt some feelins!

the grass looks greener on the other side and all that!

this is a grand college if you actually want to learn something!

it think casse was planeted by some evil irish government agency to see how we handle the stress of listening to him!

ShayK1

Its not stressful listening to Eamon Cass,

His voice is so Monotonal he simply puts you to sleep.
Theres no Stress involved in sleeping is there??

Just the still obstacle of Learning and Snoring at the same time!

The_Goose

your bout the sleep i mean the stress that he hasnt clue what he s doin so how the hell are we meant to learn anything and as for that aine something his partner in crime reminds me of a under educated potatoe!

ShayK1

you have Bernadette Power or Margaret Power for anything??

Bernadette:
"Can anyone name an interface between the User and the Computer?"
StevenK:
"the keyboard or the Monitar"
Bernadette:
"No, the answer is the Desktop"




fair enough the desktop is a GUI but to say that steves answers are incorrect is just stupidity!

Since then i don't go to her classes very often!

Laguna

Well i've done VB for a few years and the Cass man is o bad i'm having difficulty with the most elementary of Visual basic properties.. so now i don't go to his classes.... seriously though why are peoples feelings hurt? lets be honest if all of us students had a choice(money/wealthy parents) who wouldn't be at Trinity/UCD/DCU... most of us are here cos' it's handy, or we live nearby.. whatever.. it's not cause it's like we set our hearts on coming here

ShayK1

I did. I never wanted to go anywhere else!

I only had Carlow on my CAO form..........if i didn't get my degree course here i was doing a cert and if i didn't get that then i was doing Programming!

This place has one of the highest rated computer sections in Ireland!

loismustdie

if tis is only your second year you really shouldn't introduce this as a nostalgic thread ya know, it's misleading

UnrealQueen

Well Laguna! Im shocked! When you were sitting beside me this morning i believed you were working hard on your project, but NO, instead your bitching about this lovely college of ours with it's dumb but cute tekkies.
I'm sitting in lab A307 now and all the floppy drives on this row are banjaxed, and most pc's in the lab are ****ed as well. In waterford and everywhere else for that matter, they use those beautiful black dell ones and they all use XP as well. This place must be way way way way way behind in the IT stakes.:(

ShayK1

argh Help..............Someone said XP..............


I'm scared!

Mordeth hold me! PLEASE??????


go to DIT in Mount Joy square then come back here and see what you have to bitch about!

The colllege is about the size of our Library, if not smaller.

Don1

We don't have XP because you can't upgrade from 2k to XP. Well so my pc told me anyway.
Anyway, XP smokes c**k.:rolleyes:

Moonbeam

and thats why u use it?

Redrocket

eh no laguna: i came here cause i wanted, how many computer networking courses are there in the country?
i think its 3 main ones.... carlow has two of them, cork has another one which is computer applications and networking.
also: computer hardware can be pretty **** and pretty great in other colleges. i dunno why but all around we have pretty decent machines that run really really slowly. the way i see it is, it could be a lot worse. we could have all this software loading up on p2 300's or something **** like that. XP == gay

the_syco

*slap*

seanos

*gets out drugs of calmness*

however, on that note, agree with ya completely ...
I had option of DCU [comp apps], or UCD [comp sci]
This college is only one that does degree in computer networking.

I was in uni in London for a year and... we were warned on the first day not to eat in the canteen, the lecurers bored us to sleep with their lack of knowledge and ability to use the fancy projectors...most lecutres we just sat their watching lights go on and off and the screen going up and down!

As for a student bar, we had one there too but it was just ****e...like scraggs...u get bored of it really quickly because it's there and u miss loadsa classes coz its like "Eamonn Cass/Drink...hmmm".

Carlow's not half as bad! ...Oh and to add to the whole Thames Valley is ****e...there was a bombing in the cafe we ate in taking away the only good part of going to that uni

K:ninja:

The_Goose

well that put things in perspective, the canteen here is bad but at least theres no c-4 inthe soup or sausages made out of semtex!

Yet...

Laguna

Well i do believe i'm entitled to my own dissatisfaction with this college. Bollocks, this place could be a lot better and what are you on about 'the only place that offers a networking degree'? does that qualify this place into being 'good'?

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

well if you think it could be better, how about trying to do something about it instead of sitting on your arse and talking ****e on boards.

Laguna

how am i supposed to do that then? hold the canteen to ransom? kidnap eamon cass?

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

protest, join the SU, campaign and raise awareness about how ****e it is.

I really don't care.

The_Goose

syco message seemed like he had a plan on the way which is scaring the crap out of me!

"me imagines sittin down to eat when i spot syco hidden behind a bush, staring at eagerly to take that first bite"

this a great college, food is edible lecturers can be ok sometimes and there s mighty crack with these fine people!

what more do ya want!

Don1

A walk in humador!!!

The_Goose

ok ok a walk in humador!!!!!

Headcase

this is by far one of the better colleges in the country.
i've eaten in most of them and i'm sorry to say, they were all Campells and the same prices, roughly!

as for lectures:
are you really trying to say that carlow is the only college with a few bad lecturers.
i've Eamon Cass, its not that he doesn't know what he is doin, its just that he can't get his point across.
Pete Lowe is a terrible lecturer, but very helpful for project labs.

so i think you have generalise a bit too much in saying that the college is bad.

and if you are complaining so much and feel strongly about it, Mordeth is right, do something about it.
join the union, get on the acadamic council, get on your course board or something

my fingers hurt now, hope your happy.

long live I.T. Carlow!

TomTom

I was in carlow for a few years and although we had problems with food, lecturers facilities. I loved it, Cus of the people.
No where on earth have I met so many friendly nice genuine people that made going to college in carlow a pleasure. And yes I mean you people.

ShayK1

If i'm included there...... thanks TomTom,
we love you too!


I agree with Headcase, you have generalised alot! We do have some **** lecturers but we also have great lecturers!
Anyone got Keith Smith........ he's a god sent! he really is the best teacher i've ever had!
