I can't access Fashion/Appearance. I'm banned. I didn't mean it as aggressive kevin, I was just asking because I was confused and didn't remember mentioning anything recently. I am blonde though, my memory is like that of a goldfish. Sorry, but I really wasn't being aggressive, just inquisitive. You can't tell a person's tone online so faaaaaaaaaaar too many misunderstandings.

Lopettaa ja laskea yhteen lies , aivan-lta se!

I think that says "ends it and lets it together potentially be, totally *garble* it!". Lol, someone been playing with babelfish?

PS: That was in March, kevin. No wonder I couldn't remember.

Heh, I have. Was in there a week or so ago. Couches looked comfy.

I was a very naughty girl. I'm not too bothered about being unbanned as I don't like forums with silly mods. I have no idea about the paper thing. I heard shops were running out of toilet paper because people were buying all of it as soon as it arrived.

zap

the student centre is great spend alot of time there.

I think the student centre has a huge amount of potential, but it needs to be under better management to achieve this. We tried to have a few club events there during the year, and everytime we attempted to book a space we were met with a brick wall - It's confusing as to why they take this stance, because it's meant to be for all the students, not just the KBC . The couches and all are comfy, and the tv is a good idea, but they need to cater more for club and society events if they want to fill the place beyond half four in the evening

t'aint just the KBC to be fair - I've gotten to know the staff in their well in the last year or two. There are a lot of corporate events in there - I was considering running sci day in there one year but discovered some company had booked the main hall solid for a week.

They just need notice cos they busy

blondie83

Yeah, its annoying though, it shouldnt be corporate, it should be for the students!

Red Alert

Especially seen as we're paying for the damn thing.

They don't allow student events to use the theatres in the commerce building unlike all other buildings in UCD so as not to offend their corporate sponsors :mad:

Dave!

Damn, €900 doesn't sound good I was under the illusion that it was completely free... Oh well, can't complain really, look at England and the likes, they have to take out loans to pay for it, and America, parents save for years to pay it. Ireland has it sweet So does Finland, I gather...

So, what does this money pay for? In secondary school we had to pay a "voluntary" fee every year, and it went towards sports, art, woodwork, and engineering materials... none of which I did after 3rd year, lol... Just wondering where this small fortune is going...!

It should be what it is this year (EUR750), plus an additional ~ 9.5% which makes it come out at about 820 Euro. That's before you throw on any addition charges (student levies, USI fees...)

My apologies, it's officially 775.

I can second that rang the college early last week.

The USI levy is optional. Nobody's obliged to join a union if they don't want to. In TCD for example a growing number of students are opting not to be represented by their students' union.

Student Unions engage in some very liberal politics and one does have to be careful where one signs their name these days.

So save yourself a few bob and opt out! You can always join up if you feel it necessary.

larryone

I dont think we have that option in UCD...
