Fees for this september?

ImDave

Well folks, does anyone know generally what date the fees are due for this semester? Am I right in saying its typically about €800? I just realised I need to start saving before heading back! Cheers

I think it's gone up to €825.

They are usually due either Friday of orientation week or Friday Week 1 cant really remember they might push it out a little bit this year seen as we are back that little bit earlier

i assume 1st years start on the 10th but is there anywhere that says this for definite? also if this is the case is this also the first day you can move into on campus?

sorry for hijacking thread

no all students are back on 10th first years start the 4th..... you can find the whole calendar on ul website if you search for it .. we have like 5 weeks off with xmas and a week for easter .. exam pre-xmas and finish up week early in summer i think

Ya they do. You should get a letter though because the different departments start on different days. You'll be starting between Tuesday the 4th and Thursday the 6th(Im 1 of those yellow shirted Orientation guides so you can trust me:D).

Oh and the fees in total come to €895 (im sure ye all got the letter at this stage) Now all I have to do is try find that money!! I dont get a grant and have to pay for it all myself so every year this is painful. Im not some fúckin rich guy im an average student I want a grant :mad:

i got a letter this morning it says on-campus accomadation check in day is sunday the 2nd so it would appear that the term for first years would start the next week aswell


ot; iv just been asked to go to england for 4 weeks all expences paid plus a grade up in salary to do training for my company but i cant due to college.............the cao better offer me a place next week :cool:

And all iv gotten so far.. is a letter about confirming accomodation.. meh.

limerick is the cheapest place for a student to live...............unles you go on campus in ul but fk it it should be well worth it

although my mate was paying 65euro a week in limerick city last year for a nice enough place and 85 a week this year for a lovely apartment but there is plenty of time for being sensible later

You'll learn really quickly how to naviagate yourself around campus. UL is so well laid out...believe me I have the worst sense of direction in the world but even I can manage not to get lost in UL

I'm starting first year in UL this year too (transferring from UCD) but I spent quite a lot of time in UL this year so I don't have to worry about geting used to the place and people. Luckily UL has the greatest students on earth Ha, I know that sounds a bit cliche and seriously, 99% of people are really friendly and UL has a real community vib, unlike UCD! Can't wait for Orientation week and Freshers week...

Campus accom is sooo expensive, but well worth it I reckon, once you take into account all the advatages it gives you (esp in first year!).

Hope ya got your first choice btw!

Most people tend to look incredibly confused and lost in the first few days so I wouldn't worry about it.

Having been an orientation guide a few years the ones I feel sorry for are the ones whose parents try to come around with the orientation group for the day. The few times I was faced with that when I was doing it, I generally took the parents aside and gently told them to sod off (it's hard enough being new without dragging a family behind you for the first day).

erm just to let you know freshers week in UL is orientation week .. but every week is a party whether it be in the stables/lodge/mollys/trinity rooms/no mor disco/sinbinning etc etc
