The Best & Worst thing about NUIM is...

Worst thing: The stupid bureaucrats who keep insisting on closing off the shortcut!

Do you, by any chance, live in Moyglare Abbey?!?!

Best Thing: Being from Maynooth, I was worried I was going to get stuck with the same bunch of people for the entire time I spent in college...which I didn't want! I wanted a change from all that drama! Now I've found the best bunch of mates, have so much fun all the time and I'm loving it!
The South Campus is soo pretty, I have happy and sad memories over there and I just find it so peaceful.
The free gym...even though I am yet to use it! (This week I promise!)
I'm also really enjoying lectures at the moment...hopefully it will mean better results in second semester!!

Worst Thing: The fact I can never get the timing right on the walk from my house in Moyglare Abbey to the college! So I'm either a half hour early or rushing in the door! You would think after 12 years living here I would know how long it takes to get to the college! Also...that bridge can be a killer!
I don't like that misty rain we always get in maynooth...it's very annoying!!

I dunno

Best: the community

Worst: prices of things. you're honestly better off getting dinner in one of the resturants up town then coffee and a sandwich in John Hume

Best: Echoing pretty much everyone else, I'm going to say the friendliness of the place And if you're having trouble, people are really willing to help you out, all you need to do is ask.

Worst: I didn't realise this until I got properly involved with clubs and socs this year, but the lack of interest in clubs and societies on campus. It's a bit sickening to organise and advertise something yet nobody turns up to it.

I do! Seven minutes with a shortcut, twelve without, that five minutes difference is the difference between getting a cup of tea and not! :mad:

The Worst: Actually, this is kinda annoying. I can't say anything now because I'm Su-elect and can't say anything that might damage relations with anyone I'll need to work with next year...

IT GETS SO HARD BEING SO PC!!!! I'm a pretty outgoing person who says what I think so it's so hard biting my tongue over the SU! Not that I'd be saying anything bad about them but I always have to remain neutral over everything!

What is it exactly you do?

I have no recollection of writing this?! As in I have never seen this post before!
I'm trying to remember!

Damn shortcut closing is very detrimental to my sleep! I thought I saw someone walking towards it earlier, a girl who lives beside me so she doesn't live down there. I may investigate later!

Speaking of prices. The price of text books is a disgrace. €62 for a new book this semester for one new module. I'm just getting the old edition out on loan from the library.

Unfortunately that's nothing! The cheapest law book I could get was €90. But that's not even the college's fault! That's country wide unfortunately!

whatever about the moyglare short cut, (you're losing lots of time walking out of the estate, but atleast you can entre via the village apartments entrance, so it's not the worst thing ever)

the difference between jumping the wall at logic house or going round the river, in through the south campus gate and back up to logic house probibly spells the difference between getting to a lecture with time to spare, or missing the first 15 minutes

Ugh, the Logic House wall is so annoying.

On the plus side, once I hop it, I'm always happy, on my way to see my awesome mates, practice piano, hand in an assignment, have a music soc meeting or practice for one of two choirs.

God I love this college.

Worst: Library being closed on Sundays.

Kinski

Best: Small and friendly. Approachable staff. The fact that it's not Trinity or UCD.

Worst: Walking over that bridge (I'm lazy). The SU is ugly and a bit tacky. And commuting - commuting to NUIM really sucks.

the locals are very sound.

The SU is ugly and a bit tacky.
