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.

oh god dont say that!:o:eek:

I'd actually prefer that than have to walk around to people and ask them "Have you ever ridden a bike?"

Back Prince

just wondering if anybody has any idea when you have to pay the registration fee is it on the orientation day or before then.

xIsabelx

I was told you could pay it over a 6 month period...I think!

God we have to go in for enrolment at 9AM. That means I should be getting the very early 84X into town!

Back Prince

hey all,it wont be as bad as u expect trust me.
i went through it all last year when i starting in DIT,im starting again in 1st year and im looking forward to it more this year now because iv had the experience of college and walking in and not knowing anybody.
anyway chances are there will be someone you know from somewhere before or a friend of a friend!

Anyone know what the timetable will be like?

xIsabelx

So I got my letter today with all the info about registration and such. But the fee invoice was totally wrong. They completely forgot that I had done half of a year in another college so I need to pay half a year's fees on top of the registration fees. I was looking at the figure going "Eh, I only have to pay €1580??" but I rang them to clear it up just in case it cropped up later in the year and they'd be like "Why didn't you say it was wrong?" Oh well.

dragonfly!

I was wondering when we were gonna get the letter about reg fees! was only saying it this morning actually! I didnt get mine yet.
€1580 is it?

xIsabelx

yeah, €1500 registration fees and then €80 gym membership fee apparently.

jd83

80 euros is good for a gym membership. Gym as everything you need , its very basic but its clean, staff are real friend and helpful. Cant go wrong with that. Plus if you going out straight from college you can uses the showers and changing room to get ready

Depends on your course you will most likely have a half day on wednesday. You might even have one other day completely off. Its nice when the day off is a mon or fri to give you a long weekend. Apart from that it should be grand. The only thing id worry about is the dreaded 9 am lecture or the dreaded 9 am lecture then a 3 hour break til your next lecture!

dragonfly!

Yeah €80 is really good
Wheter i'll actually go or not is another thing!:o

Anyone know around what time be finished at on a fri?

Back Prince

say ye be finished at bout 16:15 dragonfly.

Wats everyone bringing in on the day ?
