1183944	2011-03-06 10:27:00	I spent some yrs at Otago and now I am doing a part time course at Victoria. I have visited the website but it doesn't have much info. I also went there with someone who is more familiar with the campus. 1. Re: the Kelburn campus. Where are the computer labs for use in afterhours? I could only find Cybernomad (in the Murphy building). Is there only 1 room there? 2. In regards to the Pipitea city campus, in Rutherford House I understand they have a west wing which might be that door opposite the Trax pub. I tried to get in Sunday evening with my ID card but won't work. So, as a student who wants to work later in the evenings what do they do? Coming from Otago we had a lot more computer rooms. I also find Victoria had only Core 2 Duo and old furniture with cracks on the table, well it matches the smallish campus :D It's like a maze as if different faculties and rooms are on a corner or hidden under a staircase. They don't have a separate building for many of its schools, like a Commerce building, Chemistry, Biochem, Micobio, General Science. Oh and the Central Library is old as, it's like Otago pre-1999. Is there much a lifestyle on campus in the evenings and weekends? Or does the larger city campus - students prefer to go home or just head to the city.	Nomad (952)

When I was at Vic the only computer service available was a procedure where I prepared my own set of punch cards and left them with the "lab" to run overnight. Many times the early morning result was a slip of paper advising that the set did not run because of an error on card X or Y. Good luck with your studies.	Scouse (83)

1183948	2011-03-07 09:10:00	After a quick search of their website: www.victoria.ac.nz The MY221 in Murphy building, I could not get in with my card. The one across from that (not in the link) I could get in. The Railway Stn (West?), with my ID card, nope. Couldn't even get thru the main door :lol: I'll call them.	Nomad (952)
1183949	2011-03-07 18:25:00	What about New Kirk? Maybe your card hasn't been properly set up? It might be worth talking to security and see whether you have the correct profile set up on your access card.	somebody (208)

It was even worse for me S, I had a Chinese friend who showed me how to use an abacus.	Cicero (40)
