This is what is great about places such a college. It brings together people with similar interests, age is irrelevant and in reality thats how it should be. All I can say, is roll on Monday.

and Tuesday:)

I'll be there tomorrow, doing Science too.

At least there will be one person to look out for.

Can't forget about Tuesday either, don't worry.

And no, us older ones will NOT pay for tea and scones for you young'uns. If anything, you should be getting us our slippers and bringing us goodies. Then we give you Werther's Original.

sorry for all the questions

Academic advisory will probably be about: The programme structure; What core/options/electives mean; Think about next year; Exams, etc.

No idea what break out sessions are.

Yes you can avoid assisted registration if you don't have any problems...

Peer mentors are, most likely, people from your programme talking about their experiences and giving general advice. From one young mouth to another, so to speak. Or it could be an academic giving general advice.

Agreed - but I'm so bored at home after 10 weeks of unemployment that I'm dying to go back even though I'm going into 4th year! :eek:

So you're coming to UCD....
