Whats cool bout UCD

LovelyHurling

Hold your fire, I know there was an anti negativity thread like this before but it either got deleted orelse I am thick and blind cos I couldnt find it after trawling through the pages twice... so anyway Im gonna start

• The social life
• The way we're isolated in our own closed cult church type situation away from the metropolis, think of trin and dit with all the skobes selling phones and homeless people etc...
• we have cool mods on here, i went cruising around just now and janey mack are they strict on other places... look at dcu and ul boards to see what i mean
• good for knacker drinking

* Hot breakfasts in the cnateen. On the increasingly infrequent occasions when I arrive in before noon I always head straight over for a the worlds greasiest pain au chocolat and the Irish Times.

* The department of lung cancer (formerly known as 'outside the arts block). Fact: smokers are more interesting than non-smokers (no offece). No one has an excuss to be bored in ucd when they could be out in the freezing cold, puffing away, meeting new people.

* Ample opportunities for scoring free booze.

* The view across lake 1 from the library. Perhaps I'm just sad, but it's quite pretty.

* Diversity! Ucd may be bastion of the D4 head, but there's something there for everyone

* the sheer amount of clubs ans socs around - an amazing oppertunity to try something new for very little money

* those lovely scones that the scone lady makes and they sell in the SU shops - perfect with coffee at the 11 o'clock break!

Mr.Nice Guy

* Pat Paterson!

* The beautiful women that frequent the Arts block. Yum!

* The great choice available for clubs and socs.

Me, me and me!




(And Mr. Nice Guy of course.)

There's lots of great people around. Since there is so many people in UCD, there's bound to be a significant chunk of them who share similar interests as you.

3 coolest things for me are:
1)social life-way better than trinners or dit's-ya cant beat the student bar for chatting to new people+the jukebox has every possible song on it even 2unlimited!!ya cant beat the after bar after partys in belgrove and merville-u havent lived till u get invited back to some randomers house party in their dodgy belgrove flat drinking dutch gold till 5 in the morning!
2)the student union elections-there always a good laugh in ucd cos theres always one or two mad,wacky girl/gal running for somethimg.And all the leaflets they give out give you something to read and play with during lectures!
3)seb the bums hair and happycrackheads dangermouse t-shirt-cant decide which one is cooler

think of trin and dit with all the skobes selling phones and homeless people etc...

With all due respect, i take great exception to that remark regarding Dublin`s inner city.

pretty*monster

In fairness though(and this is from someone who adores the inner city, in all it's grimey glory), there are homeless people and people selling phones in the inner city.

Hey!

HappyCrackHead

UCD is cool because....

1)Department of Lung Cancer.... anyone who makes claims that ucd is boring or crap or anything else hasnt spent enough time talking to randomers outside the arts block. for instance i know i guy who doesnt smoke but goes outside because all the people who sit inside the concourse (Department of health and fluffy bunny rabbits) is as boring as dry poop on dry toast.

2)The Socs/Clubs... lets be fair its something for everyone, even if u only wanna meet people of your own sexual preference in a controlled enviroment... with dimmed lights...

3)The people... i mean... I'm actually staggered at the sheer number of people that i know in UCD, and i dont just mean i know their name or know their face, but might actually have a conversation with on a regular basis...

4)The graffiti in the toilets... we've all seen it, we've all done it... its damn funny...

5)Its so easy to bitch about... prices... chocolate factory workers... Brady... exams... the hacks in the union... the list goes on.

6)The fact that you can go for a drink at 12pm and no one thinks theres anything wrong.... and will probably encourage you.

I think you must have gotten a bit mixed up, this is supposed to be what's so great about UCD, not the reasons why the rest of the world think you're all a pack of gob****es.

White Rabbit

Whoosh!




That's the sound of the joke going over your head!

Dave

I don't even go to UCD and I get the sarcasm :rolleyes:

Smoking outside the Arts block is what UCD is all about.

Checked out that view across the lake the other day when it was really sunny and there wasn't a cloud in the sky... its a good 'un...


We rock!

*That concrete grey is such a soothing colour.

*The seagulls at the lake are great entertainment (throw them food and watch them fight - seriously).

Anything else?

Slippers

Have you tried throwing bits of bread into the air? The gulls will circle over the lake and come in for the next piece. If you throw them fast enough the gull will hover and catch three or four pieces in a row.
(tip: it's easier for the gull to adjust up for a catch than down)

craiglen

Hilarious! you must get really bored between lectures and tutorials...

The concrete has seriously grown on me i actually like it now!

The pool tables in the bar are top class

Well said my man, well focking said. What's the story with all the howiyas in UCD though, how did they get in? Fees need to be brought back in, it has to be said.

Can't beat downing a few ken in the bor with the goys while all the sad fockers with big nerdy heads on them go to their lectures. UCD college life, like, rocks.

john^doyle

there aren't enough surprise mass killings of those people for my liking.

Red Alert

ah c'mon children stop throwing the toys out of the pram.
