West Theatre.

Is there an office in there or anything? I presume there is although I've never seen one?

Handed the form in today. Horrible sense of deja-vu! And even knowing what I'm getting myself into doesn't make it any less daunting...:P

Sure nothing to lose, I guess!

There are several offices in there...In fact, it's almost entirely offices. Are you sure you're thinking of the right place?

I just had a proper look at the map...no I was not

Guess this bodes well for Schols

I'm going to be up in Dublin one of the days next week so I'll probably sort the form out then. Exciting/daunting!

Feu · 05-11-2011 12:48pm

Its worth doing because if you get it, the reward is great. But it's so worth doing if you've any inclination at all. Yes it's a good bit of study, but for most courses that'll only benefit you for end of year exams or even subsequent years exams.

theowen · 07-11-2011 11:57pm

Signed up today. Let the craic begin.

Tears in Rain · 08-11-2011 7:16pm

Will there be any confirmation that we're on the list for exams? Just I'm a bit paranoid the office will have lost my form after I left in the box or something...

Can't tell if you're joking or not, but the forms go in a box on the counter in the office...

Tears in Rain · 09-11-2011 2:28am

There was a little box that I'm sure said "Completed Schols Application Forms" where I put my application..erm, this was the right place right?

No! That's a trap to weed out all the people who don't care about schols enough to find the lady. You're DOOOMED!

Don't worry, the box is the place.

Scrappychimow · 09-11-2011 5:09pm

no the woman ,no , the woman has the box in a safe, its not that box no! find the woman with the key , no.

zam · 09-11-2011 6:03pm

Also do we get a list of people going for it or at least the amount of people in your course doing it?

Nope. But your faculty/school/course may organise a meeting for those of you that are doing Schols, and you'll see them there.

Eh... okay.

Not necessarily, no. Your school/department might send out an email though so you'll see who they send it to :P. And if not, you'll find out in Luce Hall (*shudder*) in January!

almostnever · 10-11-2011 6:17pm

So I finally dropped in the form today. Now to begin studying in earnest.

allym · 16-11-2011 8:52pm

Got our suggested reading today and was all excited until I discovered that one of the books, which the lecturer said we HAD to read isn't in the library catalog. And costs about 70:eek:
Anyone have any ideas how else I could get it? Can you request for an item to be added to the catalog?

Yep. Or you can try to sort out an inter-library loan. Drop into the library and have a chat with the Duty Librarian about it.

Unshelved · 17-11-2011 11:14am

It may be that the book has been bought, but hasn't been catalogued by the Library yet. Drop an email to the Subject Librarian - you'll find the contact details for each subject here -

www.tcd.ie/Library/support/subjects/index.php

- or - as someone else suggested - contact the Duty Librarian, either in person or at 01-896 1127 or at duty.librarian@tcd.ie .

Make sure you emphasise that it's for the schol exams.

theowen · 17-11-2011 1:12pm

Does anyone know what's the craic with taking out books if you're doing Schols? Is it just that you can take out 8 instead of 4 over the holidays? Or, can you maybe take out the short term lending books which arn't available to take out as normal (i.e. counter reserve)?. There's one book which I'd love to get...
