Im going merville, then belgrove

Belgrove has ovens though I think which can be a lifesaver! Also concrete floors... can vouch for that

Every year its different really, one year its this place apparently, the next year this other place.

It's what you make it really I suppose... shtill though I really hope my roommates are buzzers/smoke/drink a lorryload/get rowdy.
Feck it, I hope the house I'm in is a mad place altogether... first year is for partying!

thanks for the reply, were thinking along the same lines :-P shur everyone will be going mad the first week, house parties galore! hopefully Merville will be the main place to be this year. . .

is there hobs in Merville, there has to be something anyway :-)

and doya know if you share with lads and girls, i read that its 50/50 ?

Yeah I think there is.

Yeah ya share a house with both lads and girls, though most rooms will be girl only and boy only, not because it has to be that way, but that's just the way people will choose their rooms.

I can't wait for freshers... gonna get so buzzed up man!

Clubhouse was open today, student bar is a different building.

That building won't be a bar again, it's where student cards are being given out this year. It could be used to host big gigs every once in a while but it's not financially viable, the clubhouse will be the main bar for years to come.

Yep I'm aware. As long as there's at least one pool table in the forum I'm happy.

Aren't they all where the pharmacy was in the old SU building?

Yeah but you can't get drunk and play pool in there, what's the point?

And I can't believe they god rid of the Trap for whatever it was (something for Filmsoc I think). That place was raking in such a large amount of money, and this new place is empty a lot of the time as a lot of people aren't aware of its existence. Silly decision. Anyway, back to first years saying hello.

Hussar

I've followed the forums for over a year now, but never felt the urge to reigster. First time poster just like Andy.

For me it's engineering. Cant wait for the moment I'll be making my own tanks and bring doom to all the god damn idiots I've met over the years.
I'm around 90th on the wating list. It'll be either belgrove or merville.

But seriously... engineering... WTF have i gotten myself into!? I haz bad feelings about it

Anyone else get a letter from UCD this morning welcoming us to college? I've just read through the brochure, all this module stuff seems a bit complicated.

Yup, thought the exact same! Think it's a case of read it, read it again and then just home it all makes sense when you get there/need to fuss around with all that online stuff :rolleyes:

anniehilate

Science anyone? I'm around 790 on the accommodation waiting list, does anyone have any idea how many people they'll email on Wednesday? Presumably the first 600 or so that have accepted UCD? I really hope I scrape that because I'm away after Thursday :S

nkdagg

Computer science , from Tipperary, over 3700 in the waiting list , so most likely looking to share accommodation

McKrab

Did you get the brochure thing from ucd in the post today? There's a map on the last page. It looks like Belgrove is closest but I'd say there's only few minutes difference between the different residences if you're walking to the vet building.
