    Beside the library

    If you can't find the building you'll never find your lecture inside

    There should be a black sign pointing at it with Newman Building written on it too near the steps, which are close to the lake. Not trying to be smart but look at the signs!

    I kinda wish he was to be honest, what's sad is, he'd probably not be alone........

    In fairness, I'm in my 4th year (as an Arts student) and couldn't find theatre O today. That was a little embarrassing.

    Though, in fairness to me, I hadn't been in the Arts block in about 18 months.

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    You have GOT to be kidding! Try walking from the Engineering building to Richview (Architecture): over a km as the crow flies, more on the ground. Now do it in the 10 minutes between lectures. I actually had this situation a year ago, and it was not pretty. :eek:

    well its not even that its the fact that twice when ive being going to my lecture in that building i couldnt find the bloody room and both times have ended up pretty late, then ive had to jam myself into those weird theatres that feel like your gunna tumble headfirst down them:eek:
    and yeah i reckon its a long walk to make in 5 mins, theres no hope of getting a seat in that building :(

    If you have run out of toilet paper, an arts degree will help. Other than that, can't see what you need in Newman.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,893 ✭✭✭Davidius


    There's lots of people in there and the inside is pretty much the giant Windfish egg from Link's Awakening on Game Boy, accompanied with an inability to remember directions.

    Oh wow that is such a helpful photo because we all missed a vital point to do with the OP; he would be entering the building from above. He probably has a mental image of UCD from the sky so your aerial photo is exactly the kind of help he needed

    oh, your razor sharp wit and original jibe has crushed the self confidence of Art's students everywhere.

    I'm glad UCD's 1st year Law students are so tactful :D

    I wonder if UCD offers a course in elementary navigation? Use of maps, that sort of thing? The OP could use that too, I think. :rolleyes:

    thats quite insulting really.
    that attitude wont get you far but then again a law degree is pretty much above every other one:rolleyes:

    I am being 100% genuine here, I recognize the value of an arts degree, and the appeal of doing one. I have a lot of respect for the people who put a lot into arts, I truly believe its a very good course, dragged down not by the lecturers, or the learning, but by the wasters in it.

    I'm not suggesting anyone here on boards is one such waster.

    i agree with you that there are a lot of wasters doing arts(you only have to enter the building to see that) but then again there are people who genuinely dont know what they want to do so pick arts to further themselves and figure out what they do have an interest in

    And then there are the people who knew what they wanted to do, and it happened to be arts!

    Barack Obama did an Arts degree...

    Perhaps they should devise another line system? I find those pretty lines in primary colours of great use when getting to lectures. Maybe they could paint similar lines from vital junctures, say...the student bar, the bus stop and Merville that actually lead into the Arts Block? Problem solved :D

    It's the Newman part that's confusing the poster, not the Arts bit ;)
