    Hope this isn't deemed to be a stupid poll by Monty (I couldn't survive a week in work without AH) but I'm just curious, there seems to be a lot of boarders who went to the same college as me (UCG, I'll never call it NUI comma Galway, never!) and I'm wondering if some colleges have had higher no's of boards people than others?

    Currently in UL. Bad time to post this poll though. I'd say alot of college boardsters would have their internet access through college.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,269 ✭✭✭✭Sleepy


    Maybe so Dave, but I know I wouldn't let such a trivial matter as a lack of college net access keep me from boards.ie if I was still in college!

    BTW - apologies to the IT students for grouping ye all together, it was just the only way I could fit in all the options cos there's a max of 10.
