    I was thinking about ding something similar (not skiing, but working abroad), since I don't really know what I want to do. Haven't bothered to sort anything out though, so I'm probably on my way into a college course I may despise.

    No no, Galway is still first choice. Something about a private college. Well that's what I heard.

    Still though, TWO really BIG colleges will suffice.

    There are loads of "private colleges"... but they're just secondary schools that call themselves colleges. Dunno if you could call GMIT big... anyway, have you ever seen their campus? It's practically in Oranmore. You're right about it being a fun town though... just stay away from CPs when you get here.

    CP's is a cattle mart/"club". And an overpriced one at that. You'll inevitably be drawn there at some point... but try to resist the urge.

    Woop. I'm all happy. :D

    There are private colleges as well. Protobelo college dublin springs to mind, as well as the NCI (which was private and is now public) Mostly business courses

    Well yeah... but they're in Dublin. I'm fairly sure there are none in Galway city... maybe there's one, but I've never heard of it.

    In fairness none of them are that large, and they don't do great business. Theres afew more around the place and I'm sure galway would have some.

    i ntoiced you mentioned Cuba, as in the club on capel st dublin?

    Nope - it's the one on Eyre Square in Galway, it's owned by one of the big groups. I don't know if "trendy" is the word, but it's a bit more diverse than your average cattle-mart disco. The website's here.

    Half the class dropped out because they found it too hard.
    Only half of the remainder passed.

    It's programming, dear. No Nintendo, if that's what you expect.

    In fairness, all the CAO handbook gives you is a list of course titles and codes. Maybe he can't read the college prospectus - but even they're vague and not very informative.

    Didn't do too great in the LC, so my first two choices are gone.

    It looks like I'll be doing my third choice, Arts in U.C.D. I still have to decide on my subjects. Hmm.

    Dublin should be fun, though.

    I didn't say I was "settling" for Arts.

    I was simply stating facts: I did not get the points for Journalism, so I am doing Arts, for which I think I definitely got the points. I wasn't implying that Arts is an easy course.

    I downloaded some information on the type of material the Arts course covers in the English option, and it looks fairly interesting.

    I'm starting at Philadelphia University at the end of August. I'm really nervous about moving in and everything, even though it's about a 10 minute drive from my house. I'm going for Psychology. I really didn't know what I wanted to do, all I knew is that I wanted to help people. Those I've talked to told me that Psychology would be a well choice.
