is it true that the campus is haunted?

Asked by: seamus

I'm a student living on campus and have been relocated to temporary accommodation in the Conference Rooms in Robert Bryson while my window is being fixed at Lord Home. I have so far been here one night and it has been the most unpleasant experience. The place is filled with disrespectful people who for some reason believe that everyone else wishes to hear their music/television regardless of the hour. I believe that more of an effort on the part of the warden should be made to ensure that certain people are made aware of the fact that their behaviour is disruptive and should more coniderate to their neighbours.

Asked by: J

I'm unclear on right to rent so please explain it to me if I've got this wrong. But this what it sounds as if is that imposing quotas on accomdation is more of an H&S issue by the government so that it is safer rather than a real problem. As for rent and prices going up, what evidence do you have to support this? I know it is likely that landlords would maybe be inclined to do so but wouldn't u want to pay for a nice flat. There are still plenty of good flats and houses to live in elsewhere like Gorgie which used to be rough when I was growing and has changed lots. It almost sounds as if people can't keep up or there is snobbery.

There are still people living on this campus! I'm wondering why we have the luck to be supplied with hot water in our rooms. Why does everything shut down between the terms? This university is far away of the city center, it's not like at the University of Edinburgh where you have a choice of different pubs or places to eat in town! I tried to have dinner after studying and went to liberty's -> closed till 12.April ... I ended up with a half raw hot-panini at the place in the main hall and throw half of it away... At the evening we wanted to go play pool at gorgie's -> surprise, it was closed! I know many people left, but why punishing the ones who stay???

I am a student living on campus and therefore need to use the laundering facilities provided - there is a sign in the laundry room indicating that out of normal hours should change be required to operate the machines then it can be obtained from the main reception - twice I have been to discover that they "don't have any" and on a third occasion that they "don't give change". This really isn't good enough - especially on a Sunday when the bank is closed and the student shop refuse to give change. Please clarify if the reception do provide change? (and perhaps inform them that in order to do so they actually have to keep some in supply)

In fourth year it is very commmon that many students get projects that are to be completed outside of schedualed class time. However when you go to the computers in the engineering building, many classes from other departments come along and forbid you from gaining access to the computer labs to complete such work.

Asked by: 4th YR Eng Student

How come every department does not have their term timetables online prior to the beginning of term? In mech eng you must wait until the 1st day of term in order to get access to the time tables. Surely these should be arranged and uploaded online sooner than the 1st day of term.

Asked by: 4th YR Eng Student

Why is there not one resource room where all past papers are kept and updated?I have been looking for past papers and some are in the library whilst others from the same modules are in the department or online.

Asked by: 4th YR Eng Student

If you have such an active social life, why don't you go out and live it and leave me in peace to study!!

Is there an alternative phone number that can be dialled to directly reach the phones in accomodation halls? I know the 0870 number for my extension but was hoping a geographic 01 number existed. It would be cheaper for family to phone in from their call plan (free in fact if it was 0131 or similar) and I find it disgusting that the university should charge for incoming calls.

Asked by: Pierre

I am starting to get really irritated with the study space at this University. I've been here for nearly 4yrs and i have yet to find somewhere decent to study. The library is noisy, especially as they've now put all the computers together upstairs. The WiFi seems to only be accessable from the top floor, i couldn't even connect from the floor below The only other place is really the area outside LT4 which is always messy, again noisy & although the WiFi works, there are about 6 plug points, most of which you can't get your plugs into. Technological state of the art university my ass!

Asked by: Anon

Is there a standard way to reference something? I understand we are meant to use the Harvard or Vancouver system. But usually there about 30 different variants on it.

What version of these referencing systems are we meant to use that tutors approve of?

I think it would be a good idea if timetables were posted online at least a few days before term starts. I think it's a joke having to come in and find out what you have and realising you've missed something just because the department couldn't be bothered letting us know in advance.

The Archbishop of Canturbury, DR Rowan Williams has come out saying that Sharia law in the uk seems unavoidable for sections of the community.

I may have mentioned this before, but i'll stick it on here see what everyone else thinks. how feasible would it be to get our matric cards make into proper proof of age cards? i have no problem with paying £30 to get a matric card that is POA. having just lost my wallet, i've go to go get all new cards. and it would be easier to get my ID from the university, than have to fill in a load of forms, get them signed, and send them off. and then wait 2-3 weeks for it to return. i know it would cost a lot to get the facilities to print the hologrammed cards, but like i said, i wouldn't mind paying extra for it. maybe it could even be opt in thing; do you want regular matric card, or POA for extra £# amount.

Is it just me, or does HW often feel like an administrative nightmare? Although the campus is great, and I quite like most of my course, having already been to another uni for a year, I find the whole place seems so unnecessarily complicated. It always seems as though whenever you ask a simple question, the general response is always "It depends" or "I don't know". Why is there no consistent system applying to all schools for basic things like finding out results etc.? Does anyone else feel that the administration at HW is way more complicated than it needs to be?

How could you guys protest for scrapping the graduate endowment fee? I think it's really selfish. I know education used to be free and labour forced this on us. But what we're asked to pay back is really small compared to what is paid to us. It's like £12 a month for 10 years to pay back the SAAS. As for the SNP promises if you voted for that reason alone you are incredibly naive. I know SNP is for the bill but you know that it is in the finance minsters power to lower the endownment to zero. The SNP knows that will be voted against that's why they're having this bill. To make Labour look bad.

We cant even get to the other campus as the only bus comes twice a day at the most ridiculous times- who wants to go there at 8am and be back at 4pm? I understand the place is gettin done up but the services could be better. The parking is impossible down at the high mill, unless you want to be there at 8am to get a space, but you wont get out again cos everyone blocks you in. The workshops and in particular the netherdale building are so cold that it must be illegal- and of course no-one can turn the heater on because it makes too much noise.

Who will you vote for? As you have hopefully realised by now, there are elections this coming Thursday (18th Oct) for the position of Vice-President (Services & Communication). The post is well contested this year with 3 candidates running for the part-time position. Every year each candidate will ask you to vote for them and the Student Association will make you aware of the elections. And every time they will all tell you how much the outcome will affect each and every one of you! I am also sure that each year you will be able to find a large amount of students who will tell you that this is not the case (you might even be one of these students). In all fairness I will admit that even though I have been involved with the Association over the past 3 or 4 years, it took me until last year to realise how many of the decisions made by the Executive team and the Members of Council actually affect me. To realise how widely the Student Association can represent us! I have also come to appreciate how much they value the opinions, suggestions and general input of the student body. As much as I know that there will be a large number of students who have already made up their mind about who to vote for (and yes, I am one of them), I do believe that there are also some of you who want to know more about the candidates themselves as well as their ideas before making your decision. Now is the time to read the manifestos as well as fire lots of questions (and suggestions) at the various candidates because in the end it is all of us who decide which one of them gets a shot at the job! Having read all the manifestos myself, I believe that every candidate in this election is different – One has been involved in the Association for a fair amount of time and knows about the problems and current issues. Another will be new to the union and will probably have a different and fresh approach to things. The third wants you to come up with ideas (as long as you’re being reasonable) and tell him what he should do in his year of office. One has ideas that aren’t really possible and people who are involved with the union know this. The other wants to work on liasing with the university to get us moving forward. The third came up with a fair amount of things that are already in place. Whichever one of them will be elected for the position of VP (S&C) will have to put a lot of positive input into the Association. On the other hand he will also get a chance to prove to us students that he was the right choice for the job. So as much as I know who I am voting for this Thursday I’d still be very interested to know what you think of the candidates and how much you agree / disagree with their ideas. Let me know what you think – either as a reply to this post or as a comment on my myUNION page. Who will you vote for?
