    How does one go about replacing their student id card and how big a deal is it to get a new one?
    Last night was a bad night :(

    Go to the registration office and they'll give you a new one. Costs 20 lids though.

    S'up peeps. I'm 23 and living in Maynooth a few months (not a student though). First of all, what's the story about the stripper? Just read about it on the journal?

    Were they fully nude? Were they giving dances to students? Who brought them in?

    Also is it true JK Rowling got her inspiration for Hogwarts from NUIM?

    Thank you!
    Random shoutout of gratitude to all the people who've answered my (most likely stupid) little questions throughout my first year here, it really does help :)

    Was told this by someone I know, not sure how true it is though.

    Wondering is it worth going for a look in the University?

    To be honest I'd say it's 100% not true, but the south campus does have a certain magic about it :P

    Harry Potter Great Hall is based on the dining halls in Trinity/Oxford/Cambridge. The ye olde timey proddy ivy league type schools.

    It was filmed in Christ Church, Oxford.

    If you can wait a few months during the first few weeks of orientation on campus there are tours and the old wives tales about people jumping out of windows and paths you are not to walk down lest you will fail your exams, should have listened to that one myself.:o

    Just come in looking like a mature student and sneake onto one of the tours, they're fun tbh.

    No it's actually called St Patricks College and is/used to be the seminary, if you enter through the gate where the castle is on the south campus and follow the path through either archway you will be facing the building, the college rooms are grim but comfortable and cheap enough, the whole south campus has an eerie feel to it, there are buildings with ivy and creeper growing up the whole front, it really is a great place.

    The Room of Requirement is based off of Lower Loftus hence why it's so hard to find.

    If only they had Rob's video

    On tech support in the paper today. Grand little nixer.

    Leaves me with much free time. Expect regular updates on how much tea I've had, and the entire process of 'Lunch' from concept to preparation and consumption.

    I used think that only boring people are ever bored. I have disproven that theory today as I add my dog's birthday to Google Calendar out of desperation for activity.

    You know what the library need? One of those returns machines by the dropbox for people who go to return their books on time but the stupid place is closed so now they have to pay a fine.

    Also, if the post office says that it sells sterling then it should have sterling.
