    Where to start.....

    No sign of any exam results, ffs, I'm in my final year, it's stressful enough as it is.

    Sh***y Canteen, absolute rip off, and the food is crap. Plus it's tiny.

    Nowhere to do group work, that's a pain in the ass as a lot of my assignments are group based and meeting up in someone's house isn't really practical, because we all live far apart.

    Lack of computers, and the ones that are the are either, slow, don't work or some f****r is on facebook.

    Lecturers putting notes on the scratch drive, even though webcourses would do the job just fine, and I could access it from home.

    /rant, I'm sure I'll think of loads more later :mad:

    People pissing all over the toilet seats in Kevin St. Seriously lads, what the f*ck is that all about?
    Is it really that difficult to lift the toilet seat? or wipe your own piss if you're not clever enough to do that?
    Absolute scumbags.

    Ah, that's better

    Try going to Bolton St. Toilets. You can barely stay in the toilets as they smell horrible. Not sure what the cleaning staff are being paid for, but its definetly not cleaning

    Meh as long as you aren't speaking Irish very quickly and asking me to write down the translation you're grand!

    Though when I was in the Gaelteacht in Donegal there was a girl called Majella and it took me about 15 times of her saying her name to cop what she was on about.

    Last year in DIT Mountjoy square (Thank god)...the food in the canteen is awful, I've had food poisoning twice, not pleasant. The staff are rude apart from the girl in the shop. The library staff aren't in the slightest bit helpful and webcourses can be a nightmare at times. other than that, no complaints.

    I've been asked why people say DIT Mountjoy Square is the best DIT building but nobody ever knows why, at least I don't. Female to male ratio maybe? Small space?

    Apparently the library staff wanted to block facebook but were not allowed to by DIT (face-less?) management.

    BTW Mounjoy Square campus is set to be the first to be moved to Grangegorman, the Summer after next.

    Got chips in the Cathal Brugha canteen one day that were still frozen (and the chef had the cheek to tell me I don't know what I'm talking about :p )

    The students union smelling of day old farts accompanied with the rubbish that does be left in it.

    It's also too hard now to bring the bog roll home in your bag as it's not in a roll any more! :(

    No, it's people like yourself who have forced DIT to spend a lot of money changing every dispenser. Saying that you're a "poor student" is an F-ing terrible excuse. If you can afford to move out, you can afford a euro a week on toilet paper.

    The ones in Marlborough Street are usually grand in fairness.

    Most people who live away from home in college can't afford to move out, but they don't have a choice in the matter.
    The best thing you could learn from college is too think before you talk

    Although I know you're kidding; I do know some students in Kevin Street who take the toilet paper. They are taking it from other poor students however!!!
    And if they can afford to feed themselves, they can afford toilet paper. It's really not expensive if you're happy enough to use college quality sandpaper.

    Oh, wow, this is getting a bit heated! I have to say I'm sorely going to miss the exercise I used get going in and out of cubicles to find one that wasn't full of toilet paper (use a bin if you dried your hands with TP ffs!)/not flushed/didn't have souvenirs on the seats.

    2 lectures missed already since starting 1st year Business and Law - like they don't have 4 months off in the summer to organise their business.

    Anyone else have lecturers just not turning up? Like randomly, no notice, no apology just like ''we're too important to come to work today.''

    Very rude of them to call you 'toady', would report that.

    Today turns out that they handed us the timetable for last year. But at least now we have this years timetable.

    And not a toad in sight😄😄😄
