...postgrad students with their own little rooms which are empty half the time.

This is because postgrads tend to have different hours than most students. They're the only rooms you'll see with people in them on Sundays at 10am.

Yeah I guess. Wasn't getting a dig in at the postgrads, just bemoaning my lack of nice quiet study room.

To all arts students who are in laptop spots on the 4th floor of the library and aren't even using a laptop:

F*ck off. Seriously, some of us are in laptop-required courses and need somewhere to work.

I can see how that's infuriating, but how do you know they're Arts students?

It's clear from the history/English/sociology books around them.

I hate the way if you get certain result in the Lc and if it is enough above the course requirements you can get a grant.
I know a handful of people who got a grant and they do not need it living at home no more than a 15 minute cycle from college (all of them) and obviously having enough money to not even expect the children to use that money towards college education expenses. The money just funded social lives.

It's a scholarship, a prize for doing well, not a maintenance grant.

Early bird gets the worm. Those desks are quite popular as they are quite nice and spacious. People are free to sit in any desk once they actually remain there and arent disruptive

Do Arts students ever climb above the 2nd floor? The 3rd & 4th floors are where the Science and Engineering books are, so I have my doubts, but if they need working space, why not?

If you really need one of those desks for the power socket, look for someone who looks nice and ask them nicely. Explain why you need that desk in clear, polite language, and you might be surprised. A "F*ck off" attitude will not win you any favours, but "a spoon full of sugar makes the medicine go down", as Julie says.

Think you'll probably find that it's people arriving in from town locked and setting them off!

Those strange posters for "Balls" with odd names that bear no relation to the actual event. "Road Trip"? What road trip? Where to? To a nightclub full of drunk 18-year-olds and security imbeciles? Gee, where do I sign up? :rolleyes:

I hate when people leave their books on a desk and disappear for hours at a time.
Ok if your going for a smoke/to the shop/for lunch. But when you see the same desk sitting there unoccupied all day it starts getting really annoying...

People sleeping at desks, I understand alot of people are tired, I get exhausted too, but hungover people that cannot and will not be studying should not take up the precious space needed to get study done so that others wont be up til 2am trying to get assignments done.
Plus people who tut tut at others talking but then as soon as their friend comes as good as screaming at the top of their lungs. Libraries are supposed to be quiet.
And finally, the people who take every book known to man on a certain topic, I mean really do you actually need that many books on the one topic? We all have he assignments due, but rather than taking all books, I check a few and only take one or two. You really dont need any more than that.

Last August, on registration day, my first Sociology option module for 2nd semester, so then had to choose another one of significantly less interest. Today, that 2nd choice one is gone on the wayside, yet again for no apparent reason(although could be wrong from what I heard up there when handing in an essay). And so I'm onto my 3rd choice option, which I was palced into without knowledge, and is also a 3rd year module, and which I most certainly don't want to do, so get out of it. Try to choose another one I';d be more interested in(which would be my 3rd option, but timetable clash. Def not dropping to my 5th choice, also a 3rd year module, and cant re-register for the one I was automatically placed into today. So leaves me with only 55 credits, and appears I must chose from 1 of 2 modules I most certainly don't want to do. And just got a 2nd email bout it now that makes them appear they're great for offering us this module instead, when it'll more than likely only cause more hassle to those not finished 2nd year and are forced into doing it.

I noticed this a lot with the Vikings module. I guess with final year the demand is higher and people resort to anything to keep hold of their book. No excuse for it though. Just photocopy it and leave it back
