    I think so. I'll just pay the fine in the new semester anyway.

    I'm pretty sure you can graduate even with outstanding library fines, just not with repeat exam fees or tuition fees

    Not if the fines are more than a certain amount - €5 I think

    I've just seen a few posts on FB alluding to Dr Noel Murphy passing away. Is it true ?

    There's nothing on the college website.

    I had him in first year too, lovely man.
    Very sorry to hear about his untimely passing.

    May he rest in peace.

    Just out of interest, what happens if there is a mess-up in making an exam paper? We had an MCQ test and on some peoples papers for questions 51-60, the right answer had an X beside it. The thing is, not everyones paper had the X's beside the right answer and eventually it was spotted and we were told to just leave that section out. Could there be a re-sit as some students who didn't have the X's could have picked up marks on that section?

    Doubt it'll be a resit. They may just award full marks for that section for everyone or just omit it entirely from the paper marking.

    I've heard nothing about it...but then again, I don't follow the MSU Comms (I'm presuming they're on Facebook) page.

    EDIT: Never mind, I just discovered that I have "liked" it on Facebook, but Facebook's screwing it over by not showing its posts on my timeline.

    Couldn't find anything about an announcement on http://www.msu.ie.
    Am I thoroughly naive to think they'd put it there instead of or as well as on Facebook?

    Perhaps the news is that whoever deals with communications over there is going to finally learn how to make use of other channels of communication?

    Or should I just end my nine year refusal to open a Facebook account?
    (Feels like more than nine years...)

    I feel like it could be in response to that poll they had before Christmas as to what act people would most like to see..

    I'd say whatever it is isnt going to excite me enough to justify all the posts theyve made about it on fb though

    All the countdowns and special announcements from the SU over the years are related to some act that has fallen far enough that they have to tour around college bars to make some money.

    It will sell out anyway, always does these days.

    They're both good. I'm not sure if I care enough for either to shell out a tenner though. The announcement certainly wasn't worth the build-up.

    If it's enough to put you off shelling out a tenner then they're not good.

    I know there's an accommodation thread but nobody ever looks at it :P what is Rye Hall like to live in? The window for putting down a deposit opens in Feb so I'm trying to decide which to put as first preference.

    You might want to sit down for a minute....

    Edit: It appears you're a LC student. Exams are in mid-January and go on for two weeks.

    Summer exams are in May and repeats are in August.

    the reading room in the arts building, is it open for leaving cert students?

    No but they all go there anyway
    I'm assuming he's a 6th year wanting to go to the reading room to study and he doesn't want to go when it's packed around exam time
    Exams are over bud, but the reading rooms been cut in half and one half has been turned into a primary school classroom :P so there isn't much space anymore
