    I simply can't believe there's nowhere you can get a meal (or even a sandwich) after 6.30 on a saturday during exam time ANYWHERE on campus.

    Thats it. No way in hell I'm doing any postgraduate program in Belfield. This place is being run into the ground.

    The centra up by (what ever student residence is by the fosters avenue exit) is probably your best bet. Poor but if you're stuck....

    Yeah think Centra's open til 10.

    You're right though, it's pretty disgraceful.

    In fairness, why would you want to risk eating on campus on the weekend?
    Stale fare from the week past at best. If you're sitting exams, you'd be well advised to steer clear unless you want to sit the rest in the hospital. Try Centra, or Spar beside Roebuck (it has a Supermacs in it if you need a burger and pretty decent sandwiches) or if you want a proper meal, just go to the mosque.

    the mosque you say... is it middle eastern food? I actually live quite close and have never been.

    I'm curious about that too! I would assume the mosque has more to do with Islam than the Middle East though.

    I know they have a shop inside where you can buy all sorts of food, but didnt realise they had a restaurant. Interesting

    yeah, the restaurant is top notch. Fantastic curries, schwarmas, jalfrezi, etc for about 7 euro including a drink

    Is it for everyone or would you be expected to be there to use the mosque?

    Clonskeagh. If you go out the Clonskeagh gate, turn left and walk towards the centra/offie, follow that road around and you'll come to it. There's a big sign advertising their meals outside it, and well its a mosque. You can't miss it

    you could always ring a chinese have them deliver it to the library building. go eat it in the SU common area beside 911. can't hurt.

    or dominoes.

    think outside the box.

    and if you're worried about the price remind yourself, ur in studying for exams on a saturday evening, u deserve a pizza
