Queued at 6:50am, had a form by 8:03am.

They opened the doors at 7:50am according to their clock. A friend got one in the Hamilton at 11. Morning miss-spent.

They were still handing out forms when I was in the Arts Block at around 2.

I wandered over at 2.30pm & had no bother getting a locker in the Hamilton..I feel like I cheated or something :P:cool:

Hardly any queue this morning at quarter to 9 - got a locker in the Lloyd which, despite the apologies of the locker admin staff, isn't a trek for me and suits perfectly as I get the Dart to and from college.

And may I add, €40 WTF!? :eek:

I don't mind the €20 deposit, but €20 rental charge seems incredibly steep.

True, but the end of the year is quite far off and I was hoping to use that €20 for a Freshers' Ball ticket

And yes, €20 for the use of a space barely large enough to fit one bag is definitely steep.

Would there be any lockers left in the Lloyd does anyone think?

You pay for convenience, If you don't want to pay the 20 euro, don't get a locker. My lockers in school wouldn't even fit half my books, never mind about a bag. and they were 25 euro. It's not that much money for god sake...

There seems to be a lot of free lockers down there still, not much demand for them.

You had to pay for your school locker!? Talk about scrounging for pennies ...
And with the amount of sh1te that needs paying for in the first few weeks, 40 quid for a locker is another unwelcome hole in my budget.

It's perfectly easy to get by without a locker, so the 40 euro is completely optional... There isn't THAT much stuff really that you're not expecting, I mean if youi're going out every night then your budget is gonna suffer but that's your own fault.

Lugging around a laptop, notes, jumpers, gym gear etc. in a bag during lunch and between lectures is far from ideal, and I'd consider a locker essential. I don't want to get in a huge argument about this, but there's a lot of costs besides going out like books, public transport, food... I've paid the €40 quid and I'm happy having the locker if a little out of pocket - sin é :pac:

*cough* cloakroom *cough*
A laptop isn't essential, it's more of a distraction than anything if you ask me. Jumpers are for wearing aswell

Gym gear can go in the cloakroom or left in the gym for the day if you're that kind of person. I cycle, so have to lug all that stuff into college in the mornings this morning. those costs aren't unique to the start of the year though, I'd comfortably survive on 35 quid a week for food if I had to, and I eat a lot

I heard they're getting rid of the cloakrooms after christmas, I don't know if that's just in the Hamilton or not though.
