My old uni was run by fools, espacially the accommodation people. Whent he accommodation block was built they has card meters, then next year tookt hose out for normal electrcity meters and includes the elec. in the weekly rent, then replaced our good room heaters with crap ones cos they're now paying the bill for them. So now we're all freezing in our rooms!!
Also just got back from uni of sussex after paying my cousin a visit and their campus is frigging huge!!
A few signs up wouldn't hurt!! Also cosidering they have so many student bedrooms onsite they certainly have a major lack of internet access from rooms.
Although their internal bedroom phone network is good and very handy. Shame they want to take advantage by charging student 7p per minute for dial up internet and no provisions for WiFi in most rooms.

In fact, I know no exceptions to that rule.
- Yep, I agree!
- If anyone knows of any exceptions... please write below
Even our chancellor had several run-ins with the incompetent cunt, and chancellors are merely ceremonial. Alas, Sir Peter Ustonov is now dead, and Kenneth Cuntman can do as he wishes.
Starting with shutting the Politics department. have I mentioned that he's a cunt?
Durham is also one of the top 3 Unis on the island, so it kinda helps to nulify the incompetant **** factor there.
Im at Brum, which has a hell of alot of students (the most in the country i think) but seems to be well organised at a departmental level. the only problem i found was during freshers week, there were not enough sign posts around.
No, it just thinks it is.
It is terribly terribly incompetent. And seeing as I'm a Durham grad I should know;)
well so do alot of other people.
I suppose it might be quite brilliant in terms of eminent academics but couldnt organise a piss up in a brewery.
Someone who works in Personel (my dad) at Portsmouth Uni told me that theres a phrase that managing academics is like 'trying to heard cats
I suppose so.
I like havign a Durham degree, very useful :yes:
apart from having to get 8 people to sign 15 forms to get anything done.
Absolutely. The 2nd year law exams over the christmas have been scheduled for 4 in three days because the computer assigns every course a day irrespective of which years do what. And they won't just ignore the computer. Don't even get me started on the teaching office down at old college.
