let me no if any1 got in 2 campus or got word from pats please!!:D

Yea I'll let ya know! We should get contacted tomorrow I think!

Was wondering if one did teaching practice whilst in transition year, could one use it as a substitution this September? Anyone else thinking of doing that?! I'm getting a job soon so I don't think I would get time off for it!

I have applied for campus accommodation but i'm just considering my options in case i don't get a place.
I saw a list of other accommodation on the website but im not familiar with the area and so i don't know how far they all are from the college itself....
Also i am more intersted in student accommodation than a house.
I heard marino have student accommodation..but would this only be suitable for students studying there..and is that far from the college?
Could anyone suggest any suitable student accomodation buildings?

marino is about a 20 min walk away from pats and has a mix of students from dcu, pats,dit,mater dei,marino, trinity etc so that.

i did that 2 weeks observation but really no one ever asks about it.like its not a requirement or anything its just so you will have a feel for the school environment before you start the course.you'd get that in just one day there!its not a big deal all you do is sit at the back of the class and observe:)

It says on my letter that registration packs will be sent in the post beginning the week of Sep 7th. Is it me or does anyone else think Pats is extremely unorganised?

then again.........i am dying to get my hands on one, to make it real!!

Oh by the way, if ye got rejected don't worry, you might get offered a place in the next 2 weeks. A friend of mine got rejected last year but was offered a place soon after. However she couldn't take it as she had already acquired accommodation elsewhere!

Just wondering...on the academic calender on the pats website it says that registration is on the 24th and 25th of Sept...does it matter which day you register on, like will some of the popular academic subjects like english fill up quick? My debs is on the 23rd so I don't really think I'll be in any fit state to do anything on the 24th!:P

fearanpost

got accepted, so did a friend of mine, we sent in a big sob letter along with our applications tho so that mighta swung it!!:P

wer from donegal 2 btw, which part you from kweeva??

In my opinion

I would recommend Religion as an academic subject. I did it for 3 years. Not difficult, small class, great parties and decent group.

Enjoy Pats 3 great years and make sure you tog out and play GAA, stand you well for a job I promise when you qualify.;)
