Orientation Week!

Noodlehead

I cannot WAIT to get out to campus and meet people, I hope I like my housemates, all a bit nerve-wracking isn't it? I have no idea how this orientation week works, what do you do for the time you're not needed? I don't know anyone who'll be there.

Yeah i'm really looking forward to it.....even though I don't know anybody.....Hmmm.Ah well, i'm sure it'll all work out.I'm confused with my timetable too.I mean according to my timetable i'm meant to be in 2 places at once.....Whats up with that?!

*Roisin*

Mostly during orientation week you'll be registering, getting your bearings on campus, and hanging out. I'd imagine that this week will be mostly just first years on campus, because for the first time, every other year can register on the internet rather than lugging ourselves in and queing!

Did you not get an induction pack or something like that in the post? It tells you what day you're supposed to be registering, and what tour you're to go on (given by fabulous people like myself!) . I'd defo advise going on the tour, cos you'll get shown around the campus and where all the lecture halls are (and more importantly the SU!

After all the the time's your own!! There's usually loads on around campus and in the SU so make the most of it, you'll meet people that way!

Well then Roisin can you tell me what I'm meant to do at 3.30?My timetable says I should be at registration.....but it also says I should be at the presentation of the departments....So where do I go?

Yup, true that. I went sweet fúck all of them classes I went on the tour and the lecture about my course (Ah the only time I was in JH1) and that was it.

Registration is a bitch tho glad I dont have to do it again.

So what are the imporant ones to go to?Like im in group k and the on the first day we have lots of intros to classes i think and there are some things that i really couldnt care less about like physics because i plan on doing the arts option with MH208.

Also what happens on friday at the soc thing at 2pm ,is it just a presentation or can you actually join things there and then?

Nope you sign up on fairs day with the rest of the Maynooth students. €2 to join each club & soc.

Is there much room for customisation in the river apartments? Do we have shelves and that? I'm partial to quite a few of my ornamentals and wondering should I bring them...

Noodlehead

Rozabeez

Noodlehead

Noodlehead

This is my second attempt at first year, I was in a different course in Trinity last year and I hated it, I wasn't remotely nervous starting, but I had a bad year, so I feel cautious about this one

geminilady

Rozabeez

Noodlehead

Spank

group k here... starting to get worried, a tad.

so its grand if we decide not to go to talks and stuff, e.g. I am sooo not interested in computer science and could go home early

Noodlehead

I'm not going to any of the talks, I know what I want to do

Noodlehead

oh, and is the residence office 24 hours or what's the story? what's the latest you can pick up a key?

kisaragi

Group J (I think o.O) for psychology

Not in till thursday but I'll probably go to the talks on arts subjects on wednesday, no reason not to... As for orientation I WAS gonna just go to everything, but now I'm not so sure

Noodlehead

If you're psychology through science you're group J, otherwise you're group H
