    So in the spirit of the avoidance of flail chests I began to ponder what one change I would make to the UCD campus to make it better for people/me.

    Mine's only small: Put some toilets in the Health Sci Library so you dont' have to deal with the huge freezing outside bit before going back inside into the main building to go to the bathroom.

    But what would you do?

    I agree, it is always freezing when I go for a widdle outside, and I got caught by the feds and went to court over it too

    Simple. 2 giant zip lines so you can get from Centra to the student centre in a matter of seconds.

    Not only more toilets in the library, but more men's toilets in the whole health sciences building. the current ratio of mens-womens is about 1:4. It makes me cry a little inside.

    seconded....although i'm not doing enough work at the moment to warrant it....

    i would probablly....give post-grads the access code for the study room weekly without having to ask for it....no wait a post-grad study building, with wine

    ....yes thats better

    If they were gonna do that wouldn't it be just the same as leaving it open 24 hours for all students? Don't leave out us lowly under-grads!

    Sabbatical election candidates who don't use boards.ie as a shameless hunting ground for election manifesto material.

    I'm changing my change. Decent sound proofing between floors in res - they are just some things one should never have to hear at 8am on a saturday morning when you're trying to study.

    Ugh

    hmmmmm who created this thread eh???

    I'd love to see a cycle lane through campus with proper ramps for wheelchairs and bikes- hundreds of people cycle through campus and the amount of people who crash on that ramp with the bend in it outside Tierney building is rediculous- especially when wheelchairs are involved

    Right I'm officially stating now that that was never my intention with this thread. It was me just trying to keep my mind off the study.

    I have always been a very vocal critic of electioneering on this board, so I'd be the last to actually do it.

    And furthermore, if anything from this thread appears on the manifesto of any sabbat elect named Steph, I'll ban her. How's that sound?



    (So very not serious)

    Oh you're far too kind - nothing like a possible banning looming over you to make you feel loved.
