Hi mikey! I need to choose between Computing and Computer Science. Man I can't decide which one.

Alanstrainor

I might be going back to college and taking this course...might see you there i suppose.

MikeyCyrus

awesome! and does anyone know when the induction day/week thing is, im well confused bout this whole thing to be honest... nice to meet you guys too

I got a letter saying the induction day is on the 8th..registration on the 14th..term starts on the 21st..got it a while back!im in cathal brugha street though but i presume its all the same!?

MikeyCyrus

i havn't gotten anything but i did only accept recently, well ill keep ya informed if i get a letter or anything :L

wardides

ye i deferred my place for the year so thats why i got my letter before the offers!

MikeyCyrus

ahh I see, so is anyone else doing computing then?

I think i'm repeating First year, so i'll be with you guys most likely.
The course is class, i absolutely love it.
You just have to put the effort in, which i didn't last year.
You get to build a PC in first year too which is the most fun ever.
I don't need to repeat that module,
but if i'm repeating the year i'm going to do it again cause it's so fun :]
Haha.

You're timetable is here: http://webtimetables.dit.ie/TTSuiteRBLIVE/
User Name: Student Science
Password: Science
You'll get a hard copy on your registration day anyway though.
And here's the Academic Calendar: http://www.dit.ie/services/academic/calendar/
You's will be in on some day during the week of the 14th.
Depending on the day they're registering DT211.

Hope that helps :]

Thanks for the link, it's goin to be really weird goin back to college! Well at least i know now that i can't just sit back and do nothing all year. I've failed first year in ucd before so that ain't gonna happen this time. See yee there i suppose.

guys can I ask a question? When will we pay the fees? On the registration day? 16th is it? You know the bank giro paper states that payment must reach their bank by Sept 15. I am confused.

i've seen on my bank giro that they've given me till the 16th to pay , i'm going into 3rd year and i find it a hassle paying by giro , i'm paying by laser this year , but if you do that make sure you save the conformation e-mail they send you , because you will need to prove to the people in the office that you paid before they hand over your ID card ,

For your first few months expect the pace of work to be really slow, but after Christmas they really pile on the work with assignments, so be prepared.

Oh and a word of advice , KEEP up with your programming practicals(you may think that missing one isn't a big deal but everything you learn is going to come up in the either the final exam or the final assignment) because before you know it your being told to make a pretty large program for an assignment thats worth around 20% for the final mark
