    Summary thus far...

    We, the posters to the UCD board (and I assume at least some of us are actually attending UCD!!!) think the one word that best describes our University is...

    Fantastic
    University
    Airport
    Cold
    Foreboding
    Deadly
    Grey
    Losers
    Stalinist
    Sociable
    Factory
    Nuclear Bunker
    Mother****ing
    Durable
    Wet
    Sh*te
    Developing
    Fun
    Isolating
    Lonely
    Sh1thole
    Stressful
    Concrete
    Fortress
    What u make it
    Huge
    Multifarious
    Ductile


    I for one think this says a lot about the way we think about UCD. I have no deep and profound thoughts about what this all means, but I'm sure it all means something deep and profound!!!

    My 2cents is that I think UCD is a fantastic University. I have been studying here for almost 2 years now (currently in the thesis phase of my Masters) and I have really enjoyed my time here, learned lots, and met lots of interesting people. I might think of UCD differently than some of you guys because I am a bit older, and have a car to go home every evening (I have done the cold, lonely, hungover, hungry, bedsit thing some years ago in IT Athlone as a full-time student). Granted, some of the lecturers in UCD should NEVER be allowed to lecture again (they are useless fcekers... cant teach and have no interest), but these wasters are balanced by other lecturers who are interested in teaching and have the ability and willingness to help and challenge students.

    I will genuinely be sad to be leaving this Summer, but at least I know my 2 years here has given me a really good Masters Degree and has made me look at the world in a different way.

    And more power to you gandalf23....

    ucd=far

    not quite a student in a bedsit but an hr&half treck (occasionally 2 hrs) to and from college everyday, via 2 buses, is a bit disheartening...especially when you run out of battery power on your discman :eek: but other than that its grand..I'd defny go with almostagassi "whatumakeit"...then isn't that what life is...?

    yea i can def relate to that, the horror of the bus, but at least its almost summer and those pesky primary school kids won't need driving to school,

    always **** though when the batteries die...

    The constitution of UCD dates from 1908 when it received its charter and was incorporated as a constituent college of the National University of Ireland.
    UCD and the Universities Act 1997
    University College Dublin is one of the seven Irish Universities recognised under the Universities Act 1997
