Worst Things about NUIM?

Micheal Wittman

You've all been there long enough, so there must be something you hate about Maynooth.

Personally I hate the bridge(it seems to get steeper everyday) and the way Maynooth is always freezing and the queue in O'brien's is always long.


P.S If you prefare-What do you love about the place-( I like Jh1, the seats are so comfortabe )

ClareBear

It's in a nice location.

I hate lots of things about the place but it's early days.

damn the bridge to hell! i think we sould plot to distroy it! i pledged for one year i would not walk over it! and i did it! was the best year ever!

thing i love most! connection my external hard drive to the network(easy when you know how! if you want to know how pm me) for some extreamly fast downloading! a few times ive hit 40mb/s! very handy!

From an em-Maynoothian, I will never forget the winters in Maynooth. It's like the North Pole!!
For the rest of the year it rains

the fact the trains come and leave mostly on the hour instead of the half hour, which would give us time to get to lectures or go home at the end of lecture straight away (the 4.10 is the only one really possible though i have missed it a good few times)

Its rubbish...

Mixie

The bridge
The weather
The muck
The class timetable
The train timetable
The lectures
The constant departmental screwups
The PCs
...

I'll stop. :P

I think the muck is probably what sticks in everyones mind

...and ears.

The lack of good looking men! Damn this 3 girls to every guy ratio.

I was out in UCD today....as much as I like Maynooth I'm depressed now. Boys EVERYWHERE :eek:

Saying that though most are muppets....Maynooth guys are sound...(just trying to keep in your good books)

Jammer

i hate the walk from the train station, the bridge in particular...although most of my first lectures are on the new campus so i avoid it sometimes...

ClareBear

Okay lets be positive....things you love...

The fact that I've just moved house and I'm now living on Parson Street...2 seconds and I'm in class.

The location...Maynooth is a lovely lil place....most of the time anyway.

Intel/HP etc guys nearby (for us deprived females)

The mixture of different counties....when I was in CIT everyone in my class was from Cork...

It's probably the culchiest University in Ireland...which might be a bad thing to some people but I love it. Go on the culchies!

Placebo

ugh

The whole dull looking CS department (no girls)
The train timetable
The weather
The lack of veg food
The nightlink service after SU bar eX
Bands that play the bar ex.
The Slow pcs

Agghhhh...I remember it all, I graduated in 2000 from CS.

I agree with all of above except the O'Briens Sambo bar...we didn't have that in my day...where is that located?

I never liked Maynooth, felt that you had to be in a clique to fit in! And the weather was woefull down there, and the trains and buses were a good walk from the bus stop & train station! There should have been a shuttle bus from the new campus to the train & bus! Oh the memories...they are too painful... :eek:

Its in the John Hume building on the new campus

eoin5

The Muck I guess, used to be a lot worse when the place was a complete building site

Agree with Robo about the clique thing. I worked as part of the administration for a year and a half in the mind 1990s and hated it - everyone working against each other in my little group. Oh and walking over that bridge 4 times a day - got windburn on my face!
Ironically I used to be religious before I worked ther lol

i h8 having to commute everyday. its a bitch and walking from the train station to the new campus is a bitch and yes that bridge does get steeper everyday and especially whan you are hung over.
also the way it is always soooo mucky around the train.
here there is another forum on www.whopperbuzz.tk
its in the college section alot of chat about bar exs and other things.
no one knows about it so anything can be said.
also i am the mod for it so go nuts.

ps i love ratios and i resent that comment obout the lack of good looking men i fit into that catigory.
mmmmmmmm3:1
thats my kinda ratio

uum

Right i jus moved to live in maynooth and i reckon there isnt even a college there,
u could drive down past the pubs anynight and see no one. V quiet.

where do the students go out? not to a club that closes b4 coronation street surely?
whats all this about 3:1 too? 3 mingers to 1 good bird an all of em dont drink?

who the **** are you. today is only wednesday and people have stuff to do during the day.
as the saying goes"we work hard we play hard".
if you had of bothered your arse to go into the college you would have noticed the bar on campus and seen a **** load of people. well maybe you should go and get your facts rite before you start dissing nuim. also no one goes to the bars in town during the day cause the su bar on campus is much better, cheaper and close to where their next lecture is.

Aye tis quiet alright...but what ya gonna do....it's only a little village...

Never mentioned the daytime.
IMHO the best night in maynooth is friday night in clockhouse.
I;ve gone through maynooth many times around 10,11 pm and seen not a soul and defo not a skirt in sight.
Strange University where ye must leave the club soon after midnight. Cinderella's?

I think you could have a point here. Other than bar ex nights, from what I've seen the SU is completely dead on Wednesday and Thursday nights.
Don't know about town but I was driving through it last night at around 10 and it was very quiet considering it's supposed to be a college town.

That's around the time that I served my time in Maynooth! Hope that it has got better!

I was at the openday. From what my brother told me the most obvious bad things about maynouth is that its cursed(what with the whole goings on in reteric house and the big path nobody walks down) and that the swiming pool is full of seamen
