    Oh were supposed to pay the reg fee before we go to UL? I thought we had to wait till we started.

    Before, definitely before!! I'm fairly sure it even states it on the cover letter with the bank giro.

    Whenever you turn up at village reception. You can ring ahead and find out what apt you're in, but I'm not sure if they'll tell you who else is in the apt.

    One more question, well, from me anyway. As I said before, my day of meetings and guides is the 4th, but if I come up on the tuesday can I register then?

    Nope, you'll be registered with your group on the second day (4th)

    ok so, but if I'm staying in Cappavilla could I still go to the gigs at night without the official UL ID? Would there be any benefits at all to going up on tuesday?

    Thanks a million for all the advice!!

    The Gestapo, sorry SS have come to know this problem and the default password is now date of birth, which they didn't tell guides last year, which caused mass confusion in the Library.:rolleyes:

    Interesting granted it still doesn't solve the problem I mean you're going to make friends in college and eventually you're going to find out what their birthday is. Oh well **** happens I guess.

    just so you know torrent ports are blocked in courtyard village too.... as for applied computing and network technolgies rmac you could of done the course well the old version of the course which was itt ... ITT class of 2008 actually were the dummy year for ACNT and at times were really given crap lectures.. but that happens with everyone.. as long as u give feedback you get things sorted... also all ACNT or other ECE dept course students get a free dell laptop with a sum of €100 for software and that i think... befriend Eoin ( b2005a) is his office.. he runs cisco etc... hes always good to help when your in a rut with a lecturer and is goood for a bitch too... on another note... if you meet the right people you can get full network access in the ECE labs leadin you to be able to use torrents

    Aye yeah I guess I could have done it but as I said no regrets about doing Comp Sys and I ended up working as a network engineer anyway.

    Ah yes good ol' Eoin he was a good laugh, had him for labs in 3rd year and also did part of the CCNA course with himself too. Very helpful and a good sense of humour too.

    Rapidshare will almost certainly work, as its HTTP.... I'd like to seem them block port 80 and see what response they get! :D

    RS will but unless you have a premium account you're prolly gonna be stuck in a queue of folks all using ULs IP range so only one download at a time iirc

    Aye if your try it from a college connection or even some place like Brookfield you'll run into that problem as it will appear as if your IP address is trying to do multiple downloads which free Rapidshare doesn't allow so it'll be somewhat of a hit and miss venture.

    I miss my UL days.

    I have no valuable input to the thread. Just an old man's lingering thoughts.

    If you have the modules, and the module codes, that you are going to be studying you can check them individually, and that way you can makeup your own timetable.
    You will more than likely do that anyways, even when given your timetable, cos you can move tutorials...[Not necessarily in all courses, but may be possible]

    This is the letter you received the day of the first round offers,the one that allows you to post your acceptance of a course, Part A is the top half.The top of this page is labeled offer notice

    It's on the fee paying document.When you pay your fees at the bank,they keep Part C, you keep Part A, Part B goes to the University on the day of registration,as proof that you paid your fees

    God i've no idea what I did with that, I did it through the internet and possibly threw away that sheet, I only have the one that shows I accepted the course.

    No I have that, thats a different thing.


    Edit: just rang UL admissions, they said the thing I have will be fine.

    thanks for the help

    Ya probably be in a few of your lectures alright, I went for german because I did it all through secondary school and love the language and the country.

    Was very late for applying for accommodation so didnt get on campus, got a place off campus called the courtyard, looks really nice

    what about you?

    Business and German, and Business and French have all the core modules together, along with all the general Business Students.

    In fact, if the course is anything like when I started (2003) ye will also be lumped in with Accounting and finance as well for the first year, in the concert hall.
    500 students in 2-3 modules never a chance of being pulled out for a question... unless John Heneghan is still around, don't ever step out of line with that man, he can make you feel -> <- small :)

    Is next week Freshers week?

    Also, I sound like all old schoolers, but seriously look into all the Clubs and Societies in UL, there is something for everyone, and it's always good to have a group of non class friends to hang out with*




    *Get twisted with during the day:D
