Are you happy with what you chose at college?

Amz

1) Kinda
2) No

I'm not finding it easy to settle in with my class this year and there's too much theory that we will never need i.e. chemical science crap for IT and the maths module is pointless also.

I don't like DCU at all...

Sleepy

1) Nope, never really was, despite changing courses after 1st year (B.Comm International to B. Comm). My post grad was a Higher Diploma in Systems Analysis and tbh, was taken more to prolong my college experience than anything else!
2. Hell yeah, UCG rocked. My only problem with it was that it was too close to my parents house so I had to live at home

If I could do it again, I'd either do Arts (Philosophy and English with Psych and Soc & Pol in first year) or IT. Unfortunately, unless I win the lotto I'll never have the opportunity to do that. It'll take me long enough to pay for the other two pieces of paper framed on my mother's wall first.

1. Yes
2. No

I'm doing mechanical engineering in UL. I was doing computer engineering last year but it was a horrible horrible course. I love my course at the moment. Unfortunately I hate UL.

In real life she's not the best. However, I obviously wouldn't say no.

Unpossible

1.) over the last two years I've really disliked my course, I don't think im a programmer. On top of that my college failed to mention that the course is a five year course (software development). However after repeating third year (and having actually done some work this year), computers are beginning to grow on me & programming doesnt seem so bad.

2.) I.T.Tralee, it seemed like a good idea at the time to go to my home town's college but over the last two years i've regretted it, now I'm planning to transfer.


all in all computers doesnt seem to be so bad although I would prefer to do mechanical engineering, but at 21 with my birthday in august I don't see waiting for two years to be a mature student as being a good option

Morgoth

No, wrong course.
Yes, right college.

Electronic Engineering at UCC. UCC rocks! But all through secondary school I thought I'd be interested in the hardware depths of how computers and technology work, whereas it's really the software development and programming side of it that I'm now fascinated with. My course does very little general programming, just specialist stuff to control various bits and bobs of hardware, and it's all to do with getting something else working, rather than pure programming.

Don't think I'm up for paying 2 years of fees to start computer science either so it's another 2 years of sh*t ahead of me, plus this years exams too. Sigh.
