    I'm a first year in Kevin ST and so far I have had great experiences in DIT.
    Sure, I don't have tons of projects to work on so don't find the hustle and bustle much of a bother but the college has been really accomodating and the lecturers are really friendly and approachable, hell, I have Bryan Duggan on gmail chat and he's dead on. The atmosphere is really nice and the segregation by building works in my favour by keeping business students and arts students out of my sight 24/7.

    I was a bit shocked to hear the college never taught someone regular expressions, but then if you expect a college to teach you EVERYTHING you are a bit silly to be honest, but regular expressions wouldn't take long to teach and are HUGELY beneficial so :S

    Yeah really annoying that. Its the first price hike in, what 2 years? so its not so bad. Its just annoying though, it was really convenient to just have a euro coin ready. Don't like this small change malarkey.

    Pish! They weren't bribes they were the only way of dealing with final year stress. Everyone should try it lollies for all when stress approaches! Plus it's a valid excuse for owning cargo pants.

    Anyway everyone should pop into the union office and say hello. They're awfully friendly and they usually have some free pens or other bits and pieces knocking about!

    Well maybe 'it' does the rounds, you know.Taking the show on the roads kind of thing.
    'Nesty' coming to a Bolton Street near you!

    I want to be different so I also like the Fashion show, Televisions in the library and over heated rooms!

    Yeah, but Painty-Face really pushes the boat in comparison to the rest of the Umpa Lumpa's around the place.

    It's historically proven that business student's "do themselves up more" than any other.

    Why I love DIT - because it turns out some of the most competant, practical, and innovative students just IMO.
    Possibly because they weren't handed everything on a plate and had to ask questions of lecturers who don't mind answering the questions, and making themselves available.

    The few things I like about DIT are that most of the lecturers are sound enough, and there's a half decent looking bird working in the Student Union Shop in Kevin St.

    willy wonka's little helper.

    Is this the one who sorta looks like Amy Winehouse, what with the hair and makeup? Or am I wrong?

    Why I like DIT? Because nearly all my lecturers have proved themselves out in the real world. They've been the experts, consultants, the high earners. Basically the opposite of a lot of my lecturers in my previous college... I hated having smug-ass 24 year old PhD students explaining how things are done in the real world...:mad:

    If only spar did degrees.

    This thread makes me hate DIT more and more, because reading the replies, the only thing people are enjoying about DIT are the soft drinks they sell in the student union shop.
