    The Cairnes building must be officially the worst place on campus to study. The number of complete and utter rehabs who think it's ok to have hour long conversations at full volume. I can't understand how people can think like that. If someone comes over to me and we chat for anything over a few minutes I feel concious of the noise.

    I've no problem with background noise, it's just when you hear the same voice talking for so long it just melts your head.

    Not to mention the imbeciles who can't work a printer so stand there pressing buttons (which beep loudly) for 5 mins.

    I hate any conversation or chat while studying whatsoever. If you want to talk, get the hell out into the corridor. No one cares that you had to get the Morning After Pill this morning...

    It's probably already been mentioned in this thread, but standing outside the door having a loud conversation isn't really any better.

    It's like people who plug in headphones and then listen to music at top volume, or sit there sniggering away like a chump. You obviously understand the importance of not disturbing people, as you have used headphones, so why think it's ok to blast your music through them?

    Why dont ye study at home so?
    Take the books ye need out of the library, then you can sit at home with nobody having loud conversations or people putting laptops on your side of the desk. Simples

    Some people obviously can't study at home.

    The library is supposed to be quietish enough. I know it's not the case but it's what's expected of a library.

    You can't really expect all your house mates to tiptoe around the house and keep the TV/laptop/conversation to a minimum.

    Shouldnt most peoples housemates be studying too?
    And im talking about studying in your bedroom not in the middle of the sitting room.
    The NUIG library is always way too noisy and no amount of complaining on the internet is going to change that so im just giving a practical solution.
    I know loads of people who have empty houses that go into the library and then complain of the noise in there, if oyu have an empty house just study at home.

    What's the script with everyone in a computer room always feeling the need to look up and study every single person who comes in the door? Are ye expecting someone or something? Sometimes I meet their stare and say hello just to make them feel uncomfortable, cause I'm a f***ing header like that.

    There you go with another assumption: that everyone lives with fellow students.

    Eh no, I said shouldnt MOST peoples housemates should be studying I didnt say all. Students do in general live with other students...
    Also I said if you have an empty house then study at home.
    I cant imagine many people live in houses that there are enough people home during the day that they make more noise than the NUIG library.

    Also of course I make assumptions, everyone makes assumptions! I can hardly know the facts about every single NUIG student now can I?

    TBH I think it's the best place on Campus to study. Great big desks with enough plug points for each desk, not overly crowded like the Reading Room so there isn't a big squeeze when people come and go, not overly hot like the Library, and if you can't get a desk there is always the stools. It can be loud, but I never see it as a big problem. It's shocking that there isn't more places like it in the college.

    The facilities are great, always very clean as well, it's just the people in them. While the IT rooms are unbearably hot sometimes, at least they're quiet enough. Apart from when strange African gentlemen come in and make odd grunting noises every few minutes then have a telephone conversation.

    I always wear headphones with white noise playing so I can zone out and concentrate. Unfortunately I can still hear whispers and giggles cutting right through it.

    I can't study at home. Too many distractions. And I know there's always a few guys from my course that I can talk to (NOT in the library...) if I need notes, etc.

    This weekend and last weekend with the bank holidays and all there is a severe lack of toilet paper in the bathrooms by the end of the weekend. Could they not leave out extra toilet rolls or something?? :confused:

    Noticed that myself. Not that I'd admit to any sort of collegiate egestion on the Internet.

    ...I just needed tissue to blow my nose, honest :cool:

    Because then you have the idiots who constantly throw all the toilet paper into the urinals and the toilets and clog them, seriously, toddlers would have more cope on.

    Do people actually care about DJ Byrno?
    I think it's highly inappropriate that he is pretty much the only DJ ever playing in the college bar, it's getting really old and I've not even been here a year.
    With an entire society of DJs I think it's only fair that other people get a go.

    Who's up fr some ragga jungle breakcore in the college bar eh? XD

    It does make me laugh when places like Cuba and the College Bar put up posters announcing DJ BYRNO! YEAH! ONLY TEN EURO!

    Nothing against the guy or his DJing, but advertising what is essentially a resident DJ as something special is a bit crap. But then again, the College Bar is exactly that.

    Why is he such a big deal? You'd swear Daft Punk were playing the way people go on about him.

    He's a local DJ who's been about for ages, fair play to him if he's made a name for himself.

    Can't stand the Col Bar anyway. It's decent for a few games of pool and pints on a quiet evening but any time there's ever an 'event' or end of exams/rag week/freshers week I avoid it like the plague. Full of lightweights falling over each other spilling pints everywhere. And even when I want that craic I'll go to Fibbers or the Hole In The Wall.

    It's probably been said before, but people eating crisps in the library. I don't mind people eating in general, but crisps stink, the bag makes loads of noise, and so does crunching down really loudly on them... arrghh..
