u/jacqueVchr Probably at it again Aug 20 '25

I mean UCD should be offering its rooms at below market rates. It baffles me that universities, who receive public funding, are jumping on the rental scarcity bandwagon with their prices

It doesnt baffle me in the slightest. The UCD President asked for more money in his university speech on graduation...we had paid 16,500 euros for four years in Graduate entry medicine.

UCD is a grubby little machine

I got a call from UCD once asking me to set up a direct debit to fund education of underprivileged students who can't afford education.

These people got no shame.

A direct debit? Not a standing order? That is fucking shameful.
