As a former WIT student, I'll be requesting a picture of you nicolaed for comparison.

We have no your picture or you recognized yourself in this pictures gallery?:D
Maybe you are not a typical species.

A lot of the problem as far as I can see is anti-student bias from some "top of the town" locals who are anti-education as much as they are anti-Student.

Some students are gob****es, most 18-22 year olds are when they are in a big bunch & even more when drinking but certainly no more so than "locals" of the same age.

I've noticed a problem of the local scum going to the house parties causing all sorts of trouble. WIT should, imo, have gates put in at Templars Hall, no WIT or resident card, no entry. Yes, it's a small annoyance to those who actually own houses and live there, but it would be a small annoyance i would be willing to put up with to get a bit more peace.

It has been said before, but WIT need to get a bit more involved with the student accommodation. How they would and get passed the legalities surrounding it is anyones guess, but the students who cause the trouble should be held accountable for their actions.

I won't lie, when i was a student i may have been a bit loud myself, but i never caused damage, never felt the need to knock over a bin or knock on peoples doors, also never felt the need to rise to a fight. Hopefully, the new by-laws will be enforced and effective.

"We need to attract more money to Waterford" " Economy is ****e" Blaaa Blaa Blaa

"I hate anyone that comes to Waterford" "theyre all just mucksavages" "Anyone whos not from a town/City is somehow less of a human being"

Bull**** hypocrites the lot of you. Just cause youre not young anymore. Waterford is a depressed run down dump because of all of your attitudes.

Are you serious?
I am not in Templars Hall, but Bridge Street, and for the last three days I have had to listen to constant shouting, partying, breaking the place up, and stupid loud music.

I am 19, I go out regularly enough, I never find the need to be loud and obnoxious and ruin everyone elses night. Say what you will, but this is a known student trait. I don't give a damn if 'they aren't all the same', they should make active efforts to make the best of their education. They are lucky to be getting it.

These are new students that moved in not so long ago, and ever since, it has been F***ing HELL.

I am definitely not anti-education, I would LOVE the chance to be able to go to college, something that just isn't possible for me right now. It pisses me off to no end to see these students with a great chance and just throwing it away, partying every single night of the week. :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

I have no problem with people partying, what I do have a problem with is when they drag everyone else into it by disrupting their peace, absolutely DISGRACEFUL.

Edit: I used to think it was noisy down here because of a few stragglers walking home at night, but thanks to these new students, the past perpetrators look like mice compared to them!!!!!!!!!!!

Bull****.

Complete and utter.

If your kids came to you and asked you for a loan to educate themselves you would call them leechers and tell them to piss off would you?

If I knew they were going to be causing trouble and p***ing everyone else off, spending my money on drunk, I can honestly say, I would tell them where to go.

Emm.. there actually enjoying themselves and getting an education while they are at it. How are they throwing there life away?

No offence but it sounds like your the unhappy one and dare i say it throwing your life away. Move across to Ferrybank if you want to avoid the noise id say. Not very far from where you are.

There is such a thing as enjoying yourself without being an absolute bloody nuisance. I enjoy myself frequently, it never involves screaming, fighting and wrecking the place... Most normal people would agree with that.

Not everyone has the option to move, what a stupid thing to say. Your solution to students misbehaving is that everyone else should move?? Honestly??

I was very happy until this noise started and I am being kept up nightly thanks to imbeciles that aren't civilised enough to keep their fun indoors, or at least at a reasonable volume.

Thanks for the assumption that I'm throwing my life away, based on one post on boards.ie. That's appreciated, I'm glad you're familiar with me and my life now.

Edit: I said they were throwing a great chance away, not their lives. If you honestly think you can study full time, and party every night till 3am, and do the best you can, you're obviously delusional.

areyawell · 17-09-2012 11:54PM

Its only a small group doing this but its always in the same spots. Its the same in any college

Are they actually the same people out every night though?

I can guarantee you right now its possible to party and get educated. If it wasnt WIT would have the highest drop out rate in the country. Your dealing with 18 year olds here. Remember being 18 when you could get up no problems after a night on the beer?

Yes. It is the same group of people. I can see them from our apartment, not one face different nightly.

Maybe it is, but that still doesn't make it ok for you to act like a nuisance to the rest of the world, does it?

I was only 18 last year, so I remember very well, and I can assure you, when I had to get up for work in the morning, I wouldn't be drinking the night before - regardless of if I could handle it or not. And the people that DID do that, paid the price in the end, because even if you CAN handle it, you are never going to absolutely 100% your best after drinking.

If I/my parents went to the effort of sending me to college, which is by no means affordable to most these days, I definitely would not spend every night partying.

The fact that people think college is one big party rather than somewhere to get an education and build their future is laughable.

What's more laughable is students defending that philosophy.

What dribble. You would sound like a laugh on the beer allright. College is the best years of your life and go out and have a laugh and have a good time. Your on your own from your parents for the first time and to think college is only for studying is dellusional. Yes college is for studying but also is for partying!

As I said....You can be a laugh without being a nuisance.

Maybe all college students are just that uninteresting that you have to be obnoxious and cause a ruckus just to have a good time? :rolleyes:

Everyone else in society can have a laugh and party without dragging everyone else into it. Imagine that.

Also, please excuse my delusional views that paying hundreds, even thousands on education is really just an excuse to act the maggot and get pissed every night of the week. My bad.

As ive said you can do both so 50% a big party really. Work hard, Play hard. A more popular philosophy than you think. Probably not just in Waterford where people apparently just work hard. Oh wait they dont. Full of dole heads.

Depressing unemployed crime ridden dump.

'Full of dole heads'

Inspiring, coming from someone that is against generalisation of students.

And no, a lot of people in Waterford either work hard, or want to. Regardless, we all just want to live in peace and get on with our lives like anyone would.

Show me somewhere in Ireland that isn't a 'depressing, unemployed crime ridden dump'?

You gave out to me for tarring students with the one brush, yet here we are......

Edit: I'm all for working hard, playing hard. The problem here is not partying, it's the lack of control students have other themselves to act civilised and still have fun. There is also the fact that, any of my friends or people I know that went to WIT were partying uncontrollably within the first week or so of moving up here, and college had not even started..... Doesn't really constitute working hard to me, and it also doesn't mean that 'being free from your parents' is a valid excuse. If you are mature enough to move out of home and be independent, you should be mature enough to know you can't just roam around doing what you want in the 'real world'. You have to take others into consideration, believe it or not.

Anyway, if Waterford is that depressing and full of 'dole heads', why not take your own advice, and get the hell out of here sure.

So a person should never party and have a good time unless they have worked hard? What are you talking about?

No....I don't complain about 'the youth' I complain about a group of students making everyone else's life a misery.

You're clearly missing the point, so you're just resorting to trying to get a rise out of me by saying I don't have fun. Like I said, most normal people can have a lot of fun without showing off to the whole place. :rolleyes:

No.... I was just responding to the 'work hard, play hard' argument.

Of course everyone has the right to fun, you're just being silly now, and still missing the point that no one has anything against parties. It's when they interfere with others that is the problem.

Surely, you can grasp that?

Get down off that fcuking horse will ya. Seems a bit too high.

I'm sorry some students (do you know they are students? Have you asked them?:rolleyes:) are being a nuisance to you. I mean that. But (and I'm getting sick of saying this on this thread) NOT ALL STUDENTS ARE P1SSHEAD W4NKERS!

How many students in the WIT? 10,000? So you mean to tell me there are 10,000 people roaming the streets causing havoc, fighting, vandalising, etc every night?? No, I don't think so. So give up trying to make everyone think there are.

Yes, I do know they are students, because of their loud conversations (read; shouting at each other) at 3am about some students with them moving from Europe to go to WIT.

I don't recall saying all students are like that, but the majority are, and that gives the rest of you a bad name.

I'm not on a high horse, I don't understand why you all think that just because some people aren't willing to put up with antics more suited to monkeys from people that are meant to be the 'future' etc.

It's simple - Have fun, just not at my expense, or anyone elses.

Nothing more, nothing less, it is not that hard to grasp.

Fortunately, I don't have to try, because people see it for themselves every night of the week.

I feel bad for the students in WIT that actually act like human beings, must be tough being lumped with the bad eggs. I'm not saying it's right to generalise, but is it a fair assumption to say the majority are like that? Yes.
