DBAC was way too loud! Needed ear plugs during exam...wtf mac?
When people started complaining (during the 7:30 Psych & Commerce Exam) that the room was way too loud (due to people on higher floors having loud conversations), all they did was make an announcement that they couldn't do anything about the noise and that they would pass around ear plugs in a couple mins...

Sad part is that they must have known this would happen, or else they wouldn't have hundreds of ear plugs sitting in the corner...right?

SO WHAT THE FCK MAC?

But aren't all the exams moved to DBAC this year from IWC? I have a couple more in DBAC next week. FML

But on the bright side, the lighting was much nicer in DBAC from what I remember of IWC

It's because the area around the auxillary gyms is all underconstruction and its quite noisy.

2 in IWC and the rest are scattered about campus. I suspect I'm only in Ivor Wynne because my last name is low on the alphabet.

They aren't the second and third floor.... They are the two smaller gyms beyond the old squash courts....

Not all exams in IWC were moved to DBAC I don't think. I think Burridge is still holding exams. (I believe its IWC 1)

Yep, that's right. Just IWC 2 & 3 Exams were moved, the IWC 1 ones are still in IWC.
