Criticisms of Weir House

It is about time a letter of interest to most first year students who have to live away from home was published. By this I mean hostel students. This year I have to stay in Weir House, not because I want to but it was where I was accepted after my application. Also since I knew nobody to go flatting with, I thought it would be a good grounding for flatting next year when I would know some people. Well since then I have changed my mind about the usefulness of hostels (so have most people there I think.)

There are so many complaints I could make about it but I will try to limit these so as not to make it boring.

Food is just short of being pigfodder come shit. I am sure the cook who is useless as tits on a bull has a sideline going with the overseas students, as all we get is curry this curry that (is this becuase the food is off or is it because the Indian Presiden! likes it hot-no not the chef but the meals.)

And the Weir House Association (the so called body Behind the students) it the biggest joke around, even worse than the National Party. They are not concerned with the students but rather what they can get out of it for themselves, and how well they can impress the House manager and the Warden so that they will be looked at as nice boys and a girl. (There are even rumours of them imbezzling funds???) This has many students worried. The president even called a vote of no confidence on himself because he knew how unpopular he was. The funny point being that the president made the rest of the committee resign if he got voted out.

Accommodation is just short of like living in a hovel (all the beds are is a piece of foam and a bit of hardboard.)

The House manager, nickname being Mum the walrus, is too motherly. It is just like being at home again you can't do anything without being told off. Really, it is a pain in the arse. Most people come to varisty to get away from your parents not to be henpecked by a domineering old lady who really is useless.

Also it is a real pain to be spooned down with to much religious garbage by tome of the deputy wardens (one thinks he it god! )

Well that it about it I suppose.

I hope the prospective students reading this pass the message around about how slack hostels are.
