    Excellent, and college hasn't even started yet.
    ;)


    It's a relatively new course I think, the level 8 Business degree.

    anyone out there doing accounting was gonna do it in dcu but the points were so blooming high. As for getting a job or watever does it really matter with accountancy since after you leaving the college you will still be doing exams to become one. But all in all i dont care live like 4 minutes away. Few my mates are there and seems like a good place.

    Got an offer to start part time here, probably attending here next september depending on other offers I may get.

    With regard the academic calender, what is the Second Semester Examination Board all about?

    See you in september maybe! :p

    Oh another quick question, for on campus accomodation- can you pay on weekly/monthly basis?

    Also I read you only get internet access for 2 hours per day in your room ? Is that correct ?

    If it is a part time course surely you won't be living on campus?
    Or did you apply via cao for courses and apply for part time courses too?

    my second time as well :)
    lectures start on the 7th but orientation is a few days before that. unfort no one can tell me what date.
    the first person i spoke to said either the 2nd 3rd or 4th.
    that was a few weeks ago rang again on friday and the receptionist said she didnt know. helpful!
    guess i'll just have to tell them in work that i cant work those days!

    As a part time student you will not be entitled to on campus accommodation or any of the other benefits of being a full time student.

    Classes are so small that after a few days you will know everyone in your class. All the lecturers usually get you to introduce yourself and say a bit about yourself at the start of the first lecture for each of your subjects. :)

    I hate those ice-breaker things where they give you a sheet and you have to find as many people who like a certain band or find someone who plays the piano, etc. It's so awkward lol
