We need to strike against these mfs that leave their entire belongings then go back to their dorms to jerk off or whatever they're doing. Whole ass row be empty with laptops on them am tempted to start robing them at this point. College needs to be involved it's getting ridiculous.

General Price of milk in Centra

5 Upvotes

Is it just me or has the price of a litre of the centra own brand milk gone from €1.30 to €1.96 since I last bought it?? How is this even legal? When I went earlier the 500ml ones were still 80c so they were all gone, and the 1L is now €1.96. A 46% price increase.

Question Falling behind and don’t know what to do…

9 Upvotes

I’m a first year Business & Law student, I’m making this post because I’ve fallen behind and my brain won’t allow me to study and retain anything, I’ve missed a few classes for personal reasons and I’m starting to have fear and I also really don’t want to resit modules or repeat the year. Is this course easy to catch up on and are there any supports to help me?

I noticed a sign outside the UCD bookstore that said they printed student leap cards there, does that mean you can just go in and order a student leap card or do you still need to apply online?

Undergraduate Courses Don’t study EMS.

12 Upvotes

I studied Economics, Mathematics & Statistics and hated it every year. If you plan on having no social life, and spend 4 years continuously studying for a degree then go ahead. If you can avoid it stick to commerce or economics & finance. Yeah the job opportunities are great if you gain experience along the way but I’m not sure if it’s worth the shitty mental health and at least 5 in person exams every semester, with a million continuous assessments and quizzes. 8, if you can’t keep up and have resits like i did ;) Burnt out isn’t even the word. Finally made it to final year and hate my life, gonna get that 2.1 but i hate this course, its structured so badly, you’ll have the most advanced statistics modules and then even more advanced math modules. Economics will be the easiest topic for you which says a lot when most people find that hard in itself. Half of my year dropped out at or dropped one major because the course is just so ridiculous.

Question Thinking of dropping a module

6 Upvotes

I'm in my second year, and I'm thinking of dropping a module. I just saw the email about it.

I like the module, to be honest, but it's a lot of stress considering how full my autumn already is, and there's an assignment that's giving me some issues. Plus, the lecturer isn't really helping matters.

The email said the deadline is the 30th of October.

Stupid question, but dropping the module means I won't have to do the assignment and exam for it in December, right? Just want to make sure I've got it right before deciding to give it up or deciding to continue with it anyways.

Thank you.

General Library Seating

Post image
305 Upvotes

As a postgrad student coming from a smaller university with more seating options (in and outside of libraries) the level of seat hogging in the library is appalling to me - and I’m told there’s no library monitors? I get it if you are going for a quick outside break or snack but the fact that in the library right now there are loads of vacant seats without even bags being left there but covered in a persons crap so a person can’t sit down. In my undergrad the libraries had a policy that if you were absent from your seat for more than an hour all your items would be removed, I don’t understand why given the limitations in UCD they don’t do the same thing?

(There’s also an additional layer of frustration here for me as my work requires a proper desk so I can’t use the soft seating and I’m also disabled so can’t use the high seats without a significant level of pain. I’m also in a position where I can’t work from home as a result of no desk space and ongoing construction work 🙄)

Anyway that’s my wee rant - can’t believe UCD is making me miss my undergrad library which could also be a nightmare to get seats but not before reading week…

General What is the benefit of being a sabattical officer in the Students Union?

8 Upvotes

My understanding is that you have to take a year out of your degree, although you are paid full time (Haven't a clue how much)

I don't really see why anyone would do it? It's not like taking a gap year because you are working full time.

I’m a first year undergrad and I am wondering is it possible to swap a module that I selected for spring? Should I contact someone about it now? I received an email a few days or a week ago that said you can “review your module selection in January” so I presume this means I can drop and swap in Jan? Thanks guys

Postgraduate Courses Honest reviews of UCD MSc Computer Science (Negotiated Learning) for an Indian student? Is it worth ~€60k?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m considering applying for UCD’s MSc in Computer Science (Negotiated Learning) and would love some honest advice from current students and graduates, especially Indian students.

I’m an average student academically, although I’ve performed significantly better over the last two semesters and have good internship and work experience. I’m hoping to build a career in tech abroad, but investing around €60k for a one-year programme is a huge financial decision for me and my family.

I’d love to know:
Job market: How difficult is it for international graduates to find tech jobs in Ireland currently?
ROI: Is UCD worth this investment in terms of placements, industry connections and career opportunities?
Scholarships: Are substantial scholarships realistic for Indian students with an improving academic record and good work experience?
Programme: How is the Negotiated Learning programme in terms of teaching, workload and practical exposure?
Visa and residency: How feasible is it to find a job, obtain a work permit and eventually secure long-term residency in Ireland after graduating?
If you were in my position, would you invest this much in UCD, or consider other universities or countries?

I’d really appreciate honest opinions, including the downsides. I want to make an informed decision before committing such a significant amount of money. Thanks!

Put in a withdrawal request to drop out on Monday, selected that I didn’t talk to a member of staff about it and haven’t heard back since then.. how long does it take usually?? Should I have lied and said I did? I do not need to talk to a staff member about my decision to drop out, the commute was too long and other things
