13/11/2025: Arrived at the University after a long journey from Belfast with a group of passengers in the course of my employment as a bus driver, and found the staff at reception to be quite possibly the most helpful and cordial folks I've ever encountered. Having asked them with some reservations if they could charge my phone - given it's not a request that too often results in a positive outcome in Belfast, respectively - I was somewhat surprised, yet, delighted to find that they were more than happy to afford me the use of their mains plug and charger at the desk. Whilst even offering me to take a loan of it. Nonetheless, I charged my phone at reception which enabled me to go on my merry way with a fully charged phone to safely guide me, back to rain swept Belfast - compliments of Google Map. God bless ya'll.

30/09/2025: My experience in this course, particularly in Year 3, was deeply disappointing and discouraging. I entered the programme motivated and prepared to work hard, but the lack of structure, poor communication, and minimal lecturer support made it extremely difficult to succeed, no matter how much effort I put in. Throughout the academic year, it became increasingly clear that students were not being adequately supported or guided, especially in modules that required strong practical or lab components. In several lab sessions, I often found myself left without proper instruction or feedback, which made it nearly impossible to improve or understand what was being assessed. When I reached out for help, responses were often vague, delayed, or dismissive. Communication was a major issue. Classes were frequently cancelled at short notice—sometimes after students had already arrived on campus—and announcements were often posted late or inconsistently across Blackboard and email. Important details about assignments, lab reports, and project requirements were either not shared clearly or only discussed informally, leading to confusion and unnecessary stress. One of the most frustrating parts was the final year 3 project. The expectations were never made clear at the start of the semester. There were no thorough briefings on how the project would be assessed, and guidance from supervisors was inconsistent. I had to constantly ask questions just to get basic direction. In the end, the lack of communication and structure significantly impacted my results despite the hours I invested in the lab and library. Another recurring issue was the assessment transparency. Students did not receive detailed breakdowns of marks, especially for lab reports or practical components, making it impossible to identify where marks were lost or how to improve. Overall, while I recognise that every course has challenges, the experience I had in SETU Carlow’s Pharmaceutics and Drug Formulation programme felt chaotic, unstructured, and unsupportive. It often seemed like lecturers were more focused on completing the semester than ensuring students actually understood the material or developed confidence in their work. This experience has made me question how student welfare and fair assessment are managed. I believe significant improvements in lecturer communication, feedback systems, and academic support are needed for future students to have a fairer experience. Despite doing my best—staying late on campus, studying from past papers, and attending labs consistently—my efforts did not translate into fair outcomes because the structure simply wasn’t there. I hope sharing this helps highlight areas that need change for future cohorts.

02/12/2025: Paid full price , on 25 % off Tuesday, wouldn't give discount, excuse was there was prawns in mixed byrani. False advertising, the two prawns in the byrani were nice, worth loosing a customer over ?

26/11/2025: Very rude! Tried to tell me I hadn't made an order.. then eventuality admitted their mistake but acted like it was my fault.. food wasn't good and place smelled of burning plastic

26/10/2025: Bad Aul food poisoning and got order wrong and wouldn’t change it

01/10/2025: Food was not good won't be going back

17/08/2025: Worst Chinese takeaway we have had. Rice noodles were dry, chicken is boiled, defrosted and without flavoi. Wings was ok but sauce was mostly liquid.

21/08/2025: OMG. Don’t know what’s happening in Apache Carlow. Have ordered many times before and boy has the quality dipped. Ordered the Crazy Jalfrezi. The marketing photos look good but mine looked like someone dumped BBQ sauce all over it. Drizzle…couldn’t be further from a drizzle. The fajita fiesta was marginally better. Again a bit heavy handed with the sauce.

26/05/2025: Great service by Anu and fantastic pizza

08/06/2025: So many gluten free options including the poppadoms. Food takes a while but overall delicious. The pilau rice was super

30/05/2025: I've been ordering takeaway from here for years and this is the first time I've been really disappointed. The pilau rice was half boiled and half pilau for both of us, the onion bhajis were burned and overcooked, the garlic mushrooms were tasteless and both main courses had very watery and salty sauces. The only okay thing was the naan bread and it was only ok. It was a waste of almost -€50.00. I won't be ordering from here again anytime soon.
