hahah cheers for that.will probably just go in on thursday morning for the basic guide or whatever it is.not arsed staying for "El Presidente" and the lectures

actually one more question....are the Student ID's photographic ID?

Yeah, they have a photo on them. They'll take one of you when you go to get one. The more important things of the week are getting the student card and attending any of the BBQ type meet and greets.

You'd probably be better off sitting on the toilet than going to the welcome speech by Heir Brady.

But what about the free scarf :pac::pac::pac::pac:

Depends on how much you want a "Look at me, I'm a first year" statement. :pac:

What's the difference between the Student Club and the Student Centre. Are they the same building?

Maybe cause credit crunch will leave us with nothing to put in a wallet & the scarf is to help us keep our heating bills down :pac:

No, the Student Club is the Student bar between Quinn and the restaurant, the Student Centre is where the Students Union and Astra hall is near the sports centre.

Anybody else here going to be at the BBQ's, free films etc on their own? Just curious if only groups of pre-existing friends from secondary school show up or if people who don't know anybody show up too

I only know two friends going to UCD so I will probably be wandering around on my own too.

SmashingPilot

I know one or two people but I'd prefer to meet and get to know some other people. Think I'd enjoy it more.

Bring on the BBQ.

Bob.

yeh il probably wander around on my own, since my friends are there for different orientation days, im going up wednesday night, in a house with about 11 other students, so il have time to wander around, but i hope to god the house isnt full or dry ****es that study 24/7. like damn i was in the house today for a bit, and my new (unknown) roomate has a flowery bed cover...hrmm btw i though modules would be easy to do, but im just after choosing them all pretty quickly, not many options for science dudes (DN030) the only options are maths crap really, gah.. oh and any good freebies going around? i saw some sweet bank of ireland man bags being given out for free, not too shabby either.

Hey, 5 years in UCD and people can **** off if they think I'm saying "Orts". :pac:

And ive been here 4 years!

rgt320q

Should be one of my mates there on the thursday and friday. Should see another on wednesday, mr. science A-L :P

Really looking forward to it all starting, to be honest. First time in about 10 years I've looked forward to school starting

kev_s88

TheJeanGenie

Perhaps all new UCD boards students should meet up on the 8th? I can already see all the nervousness and awkwardness now

Hehe!! Funnily enough, I was thinking the same thing. :cool::rolleyes::D

I say we have a boards meet up in UCD??? Is there anyone else here going into Science (DN008) that will be up there tomorrow? Or anyone in general, for that matter.

bebeebutterfly

Or no, funky looking hats or roses to identify ourselves! lol
I'm going tomorrow but I'll miss a few things cos I've to take the train back.

You don't get ur card if u don't register..
Can I register there or have they stopped doing that?

Raemie

I'm not going in till thursday, Art omnibus (n-z). I dont know if ill stay long, it sounds pretty dull, but i need my student card and to get apartment keys and such. Anyone else going on thursday(whos willing to wear a crazy hat )?

SmashingPilot

I may not stay long myself. Will wait and see if anything is going on. Getting my student card is goal number one. :D

Crazy hats sound fun. I'll wear in my russian style hat with ear flaps. hehe!! may be too warm but what the hell. :P

I'm pretty sure you can register in admissions in the Tierney Building.
