Graduation Ball?

Philthy

So what happens with graduation? Is there a ball? Do I make an effort and get a dress or will I be covered by a gown for most of the day? Times etc?

The DCU website only says that Grad day is 5th and 6th. I didn't even bother searching the site because we all know that we're going to get dazzled by stars :cool: and articles written in the 90's......

Ball is in the Burlington on the 6th so you can take from that what you have to wear! A lot of people prob dont even go. You hand back gown after ceremony I would think

I realised that, thanks. I don't think I'll go myself. DCU can't organise any event successfully. Four years is enough. I think I'll get my degree and go home. It's not worth the paper its written on anyhow

Jesus thats negative! Why did you go in the first place? I enjoyed the events. Were you not at summer balls clubs and socs etc?

Clubs and Socs weren't bad. Apart from the sponsorship fiasco this year. My memories of SummerBall etc are of waiting at the bar for over an hour for a badly measured short in a plastic glass with no ice, getting thrown up on by a Humanities student that should know better and leaving early because there had to be something better on tv

Clubs And Socs Awards and the BICS were friggin AWESOME. The C&S Ball itself was also great craic. Hopefully this Graduation lark will be good fun too.

yeah there is no excuse for not enjoying yourself on nights out. Most people who come out to DCU from other colleges are impressed with the craic and events we have. Summer ball is always going to be packed so you improvise on the drink front;). Anyway from what I can remember I had no bother buyin piss pints from that beer stand they open in the old bar. None of my friends have had bad nights out really and Id be depressed if there was something better on TV.

Anyway, Philthy, you never said why your degree or whatever you are doing isnt worth the paper its written on?

I was wrongly advised to pick certain modules and I got kind of stuck with my choices. I'm out in the real world working now, doing something different. I could have gone into my chosen field straight from school. But then I would have experienced the delight that is the juke-box in the old bar, snoozing on the weird blinding couches in the Henry G, the number 66 from the coffee machine(I will miss those) and wandering around res trying to remember which window you're meant to be knocking on....good times
