Your current favourite spot in UCD?!

TheVan

Well??.....

Mine has recently become the seating area at the Blob....nothing better than taking out the Times and doing the crossword and having a coffee and then having a random person you know walk over and talk to you!

I can usually be found at the wall. Its getting a bit cold to be my favourite place in UCD bit when the warmer weather hits it'll be magnificent.

That and the Belend FM studio. Nice couch. And close to smoking facilities.

I like the seats in the Arts block near to Hilpers though it's tough to get good seats. It's nice to get a good seat there, whip out something to read, put some headphones on and observe the hot Arts girls about the place. :v:

Wow, if you three congrgate in the same area, why don't you put away the newspapers and headphones and talk to one another (or even to the hot girls)?

I've found Richview to be a nice area that's out of the way, but near to where I live. Plus they have some half-decent pianos up there that I can play without disturbing anyone excessively (I hope!). There certainly aren't many comfortable places to be found. Anyone discovered any comfy secluded spots?

I woulda thought that was pretty bloomin' obvious from the regularity of my posting on this forum, tbh...:rolleyes:

I'm also a congragator [spp] in teh arts block cafe -usually the seats that look directly into the cafe from across the courtyard. the otherside of it like

my current favourite spot is the IT centre in arts between C and D I can often be seen there on boards or bebo-ing. i like the guys in charge theyre funny and gav me seets at chrisstmas

Either of those two places really thugh i do tend to go on walkies wandering aimlessly round the arts block on adventures... [i really shouldnt drink wine]

You sound like me on one of my excursions after a HistorySociety wine reception!:D

Hmm... favourite spots... Well that has changed over time. I probably spend most time in the 2nd and 4th year CS labs, but (like any non-psycho) I prefer to get out once in a while! Near exam time, it's nice to sit down near the lake to relax, and downstairs in science too.

I'd usally be found in the main restaurant/ downstairs in Science/ 1st year CS labs.

Dave!

The 'secret' lake!

I love that place... I can be found wandering aimlessly and suspiciously around there and the wood-chip walkway beyond that.

I recently discovered those little IT centres on the second floor of the arts block and I've started hanging around the one near J. Pretty sweet, I must say

You'd think my favourite place would be room 130 in the Eng building coz that's where i spend most of my depressing day but it's not! The perk for me. Damn that mocha is good!

Quinn school study area with my laptop. Hours of fun!

They're interesting characters in there! I was in early enough one morning after a tutorial, and they were playing loud Australian rock (al la Ac dc) for their hung over colleague after Australia day!

My favourite spot is probably the wall, I know if I stand there for more than a couple of minutes I'll meet someone I know!

**elaine**

I also sit at the seating area near the blob!
Hmmm seems to be a popular place among us, from the looks of this thread!

I imagine most boards people are probably looking at each other daily without realising it.

By the way Elaine, Swinburne is an excellent poet.

My favourite spot in ucd is, was, and ever shall be the smoking wall outside the arts block.

One wonders what sites you surf...

The Bellend FM studio for me at the minute... incidentally, Panda, where are the pianos up there? The only one I ever found before was the upright one in Memorial Hall.

Well, there is one in Memorial Hall, an upright Yamaha, which is nothing special really but there are nice accustics in the large open room, and it can't really be heard by the computer users next door. The lads from services don't mind at all if you're playing them. I usually don't go there till after 8pm, so its quiet and I can release the stress of the day (and inflict that stress on anyone who might be listening outside!).

rain on

i spend silly amounts of time in the english postgrad room, but i can often be seen rushing from there to the library or my locker, with a 'get out of my way, i'm in the zone!' look on my face. i also get tea from hilper's a few times a day. i'm the short one wearing a pinstriped jacket and my boyfriend's trousers, and i always, always have some skulls around my person

ghostchant

I stay in or around the science building for the most part...thats where most of the people i know are...I kinda find the arts building pretty anonymous...maybe cos I'm not there that often

Insomnia in the Quinn School...they have good muffin.

Sounds like Borat describing his local prostitutes...

Slippers

I like the circular garden near Microbiology. I'm still looking for a bench that doesn't get wet when it rains.

snickerpuss

I like that wee bench seat beside the stairs near E/geography department.

JustCoz

Perk in Quinn School ( I can't call it by any other name) I can be seen sitting there but never buy anything coz a cup of water is like €7 or something. I also love hanging around the arts block pretending I do arts. Those kids are so cool
