I had a saucy French lecturer for a year in College, to be fair to her she had some 'mi-wadi' on her tho not the best face but I'd defo have still given her one in the jax after a lecture. Anyway my point is that even this French Milf in her short skirts couldn't get me into French class anymore than 10 times over the whole year. I gave up French after that year cos we were getting a fella to lecture us who defo would have failed me

They should just schedule the lectures and tutorials with milfs in mini skirts and the hot lecturers towards the end of the day haha

Jesus what a shít article. Can't believe they're basing it all on one persons guess. If they went out and asked 5 people it'd have more relevance. If she said 87% I wonder would they have run with that story?

eoins23456 · 02-07-2012 01:17PM

if they did actually do some proper research and had accurate figures it would make for a much more interesting read

So what? It's the student's decision at the end of the day.

I'm starting college in September and I want the experience college life, hung over or not.
It's been happening for years and years before this so what's the problem.

I'm going to work because I'm not a waster but damn I want to have a good time as well!

only 1/3?
numbers seem to be decreasing -.-

eoins23456 · 02-07-2012 02:07PM

numbers are about 50 or 60 percent on the morning after a going out night id say

02-07-2012 02:29PM

I wonder how many people after dragging themselves a few hours across the country to get in for the lecture look "hungover" on a Monday morning when they're just tired.

saiint · 02-07-2012 02:36PM

they have a curer on the way in
fresh as a daisy

Sounds pretty standard for NUI Galway.

Good luck getting a job when you graduate.

I'm an NUIG Arts graduate, I have a job. And a decent postgrad. Come at me.

Though, then again, I think I only ever came into a tutorial or lecture mildly hungover twice or three times in all of four years - and it didn't stop me doing anything.

I will say this much, final year lectures had an utterly dismal attendance rate. Some people just don't seem to get how useful it is to turn up and actually interact with the lecturer.

I didn't come into college the morning after drinking either.

I've got a great job and I'm an NUIG grad.:cool:

Well, I did, I was just very rarely incapacitated. I hate not turning up.

Still, prejudices gonna prejudice.

haha you say that now but we'll see you back on here this time next year looking for help with your repeats coming up!

Does a bear sh*t in the woods? Like this is news?

I was rarely able to make Friday morning lectures in my college years becuase of Thursday nights.:D*

*As I did science in college, I actually had more than 7 hours of lectures a week, had morning classes and had labs to do too.:pac:

there is deffo a social scene at college,its useful to socailise and make contacts,you dont always have to go out for drinks though...

IrishAm · 02-07-2012 03:39PM

In other news, 3/3 of lecturers are grossly overpaid.

The Big Red Button · 02-07-2012 03:42PM

I don't think that I was ever any less than one third hungover at ANY lecture!

Careful now...I'm a lecturer.:mad:

I'd say that attendances at my lectures are worst on Fridays and Mondays. Many students seem to think the weekend
starts on Thursday. Or maybe it's because I'm not a MILF in a mini skirt...

Given the realistic generalisation that all journos are pissed out of their skulls 24/7, it's only fair that they take the heat off themselves by putting another bunch of drunks in the frame.

Monday is probably the day with the least amount of hungover people, Thursdays and Fridays (if people show up) are much worse. Anyway, I always speak foreign languages with much more confidence when I'm steamed so she should bring in a few bottles with her to help them kickstart the lecture.

Definitely! I'll be doing French in my course and nothing gets you going easier than a few beers. I can remember having drunken, fairly one sided conversations in French with people. It sounded good to me at the time though, regardless if anyone understood me or not!:D

joseph brand · 02-07-2012 04:42PM

One third of me is hungover atm. My head.

Vicar in a tutu · 02-07-2012 05:30PM

That french lecturer was on the Joe Duffy show the other day, giving out about people drinking on trains etc.. She doesnt like how us Irish seem to drink.. My answer to her would be - FEW NAGANS BE GRAAAND.:pac:

Sarky · 02-07-2012 05:47PM

If students drank beer that wasn't f*cking muck, they'd have fewer hangovers. But no; You fools have to throw money at the likes of karpackie, orangeboom or dutch gold.

You have none to blame but yourselves. You filthy commoners.

opinion guy · 02-07-2012 05:57PM

Does anyone actually listen in lectures anyhow ??!?!?!?!

That's pretty much rubbish. Beer is beer when it comes to hangovers. Sure there'll be a slight difference depending on the sugars but even if you drink ten pints of the fanciest beer going you'll be just as hungover, if not moreso than drinking ten cans of Dutchy.

Sarky · 02-07-2012 06:28PM

Heineken is not "the fanciest beer going." I remain correct. Try harder.

One third of students at lectures are hungover!!
