One of the RA's, I can't remember which one. And I said I think, so I'm not 100% sure.

meeka

they've put 4 people in a room before?

LiamD

Yeah last year after the shower fire they had to revise the rooms and some ended up with 4, but that was with only 290 or so people there.

Raphael

Afaik they're not allowed to put 3 people in a room unless it's at the corner. Fire risk or something

I've been in a 3 bedded room before with someone in 2003 with someone who did philosophy last year in session 2, was not a great experience with said person

mentalimplosion

if you're in a three bed room, what do you do for floorspace? what if you need to do situps? what about the closet-it's tiny enough for one person. where do you put all your stuff???? oh god, i'm so afraid i'm going to get a threebed room...

carlowboy

It's basically whoever arrives first gets the good bed and wardrobe all to themselves

It wasn't me!

That's true alright. Happened to me in 2002. You won't sleep in the campbed. I'm 16, if I found someone in my room when I got there, I'd ask them to move, since they're sleeping in the campbed. Then I'd make them... Seriously, the camp beds are hell.

I thought they stopped putting three beds in rooms last year, breach of health and safety or something. Speaking of which, for our architecture class like 4yrs ago we did a site survey on res, and it breached regulations in everyway possible,

No upstairs fire escapes,
Corridors too narrow,
you cant fit wheelchairs in the doors,
Overcrowding in rooms,
No elevator,
No bathroom ventilation in some rooms,
The angle of the stairs was too steep.

Cant remember the rest.

Um, they have wheelchair rooms. Some of the corner rooms on the ground floor are modified. THey're huge, it's great.

They can only have 3 beds in rooms that are right at the end of a corridoor, otherwise it's a fire risk

Dave: I was in a double room once, we switched beds every 3 nights. Twas only fair.

Oh yeah I want one of those wheelchair rooms. Theyre the shiznit! Im f ucked if i get a double room though with all the guitar gear and stuff.

Raphael

you could always leave it on someone else who has a single rooms room

What exactly do you mean by campbeds, i didn't see any last yr?,(my 1st yr)

david

Fold up really uncomfortable beds in the middle of the floor

Im gonna try to get a common room to lock drums and music gear in.

It wasn't me!

I'll be in early tomorrow, I'll try sort that out when I get there. The only thing you should keep in your room would be guitars and stuff. Amps and the kit can be locked in a common room.

modular

I'd better get a single room this year, have shared for the past two years. I've got a fairly hefty keyboard to bring, hopefully ye'll get that common room.

...No I didn't switch beds at all. I got there early, I got the bed. End of story!

Piste

I hope I get a room to meself with just one roomate....I didn't actually mind being on the cmpbed this year but It'd be good to have more space.

Yeah, seriously, the campbeds suck so much ass, they're horrible. And I think we all know the real reason you want a room to yourself...

Whatever could u mean?

Piste

Shhh!


The camp bed wasn't *that* bad....

Undergod

Hahaahaaaahaaaa... camp.

david

Hahahahaha... Billiam strikes again!

JenLorigan

Not to worry Liz, if it comes to it you can borrow my room.

Chowburger

In quite random news (except not, because it's the thread'ss topic) I'm leaving in ONE HOUR! Thus, I shall be arriving in DCU four hours from now. Woot!

Yeah... I should get off the computer and finish packing.

Yeah, I realise how scabby it was now. If I get the double this room, I will share. My roommates never suggested it or anything.

you just know that the gods of fate will have you's sharing now!
