    I will be attending a 1 year Fetac course and i was just wondering how it differs from being a student at a university or IT ? Do you still live in Halls and how is the student life in general ?

    This.

    don't go in thinking its full of parties and crazy wild nights cause sadly it isn't. A lot of the students doing PLC courses live in Dublin( going by my past experience), so they live near to home which means they have their own friends and own life so don't feel pushed to make mates in college. Also a few probably have part time jobs too also a year course isn't really that long (6 months at most) with the weeks and days off you have pass quickly enough so you won't have as much time to build friendships. i agree with Vinlieger, set up your own nights out with other outgoing classmates.

    What nights out would be set up for students at ballyfermot, sarannewrap?

    doing my PLC course, we had a freshers week, Christmas quiz/piss up, easter ball, the last day on course piss up:D and graduation

    that was it found it tough trying to get the whole class out for other nights.

    People your making a mountain out a molehill with all this "organising" nights out, you wanna go out with your course? find a club in town offering promotions, ie every club that exists and just go there, or if you heard about a UCD/Trinity/DIT etc society/club night hit that cus they always have cheap booze. Its not rocket science
