    It's just across from the College and up the road a bit. You'll be delighted to know that Genesis, the student nightclub is just across the road. Not far to crawl home to bed :P There's an offlicense for a good night in, a pharmacy for the hangover and a restaurant too. All an aspiring student needs.

    Waiting to hear of my CAO results way back was the most anxious wait I ever had. I was working and the parents told me, "Sorry you didn't get a course!" :(, then half an hour later they rang back, "Oh sorry, we read it wrong. You got your first choice!" :D Great success!!! I left work and took off home after that as I was going nuts with the excitment.
    :p
    7 of the best years ever. :p

    That must have been terrible, I would have killed my parents lol

    They certainly won't be. They got in huge trouble over that for breaching MEAS guidelines.

    Karma is grand, but when its packed, it's a bloody nightmare to try and get to the bar and walk around without getting shoved about the place and having drink poured on ya.

    Q is better though. Nice and spacious and no worries about the bar. Should anyone comment on the crowd in Q, they must have been too plastered to notice that the crowd in karma can be just as bad, but in a confined space.

    The nightclubs don't sound like to much fun, Q appears to be the best.
    What pubs/bars are most popular amongst the students?

    Q is a good night club. You'll enjoy it.

    Karma > Q > Genesis

    I definitely prefer Karma to Q nowdays. Karma has a more nicer, open and spacious smoking area compared to Q's cramped and claustrophobic one. There's a slightly older and nicer crowd in Karma while the crowd in Q tends to be younger and more annoying ;). Music-wise Karma has live bands regularly as well as the usual DJs so they do their best to cater for everyone's musical tastes.

    Oh and there's Genesis as well... which smells like a mixture of stale beer, sweat and vomit and is as dull as a dishwasher. Only go there if you're really drunk enough and never, EVER go in there sober.

    Come on Q is huge. I DJ a bit myself and the DJ in karma is not great but he isn't awful either. I wouldn't mind the size of the smoking garden in Q, more intimate :D

    Im the same man always thought Q was way overated Its not a bad spot just does be too packed outta it and you cant really Relex in it and its also easy enough to lose people in it that and you cant go out to the smoking area with people trying to bum fags outta ye

    Genesis is a rip off aswell for want ye get

    Dont worry loads to do by the end of the year you'll all be in AA :D

    They used plenty of tricks that night too. Hardly any bar staff so you had to wait longer. When you asked for JD coke they poured the coke from a bottle. Still despite that got fairly wrecked.
