Tips for first years

Pretty sure there's no access point in the library itself for the wireless, so what you are picking up is from the access points in the canteen.

Does anyone know if it's possible to get a locker and how do you go about it? Thanks.

A locker is €20 for the year, with €10 being returned when you hand your key back. They're available from the Student's Union office. Not terribly big, but you can stash some of the heavier items in there and just carry what you need for the time being.

I'd love one of the long American-style ones. Would be brilliant on Thursdays what with the swords and banjaxed shoulder and whatnot...:(

Having an access point in the library itself would make sense... So don't hold your breath, you'll turn a funny shade of blue.

Anyone who has labs in the D block (Science) bring your bags in some prick is robbing them and throwing them in the jacks when not using them

This has been going on for ages now. If you're in early enough you can get a library locker(the white ones beside the canteen) but I dunno if that's a great option when you're up on the Science corridor. Other than that: get a SU one, dump your bag with friends who aren't in class, or don't take anything into college that you can't put in your pockets. Also, wear clothes with big pockets.

The majority of people I know who lived further back (i.e. Willow Park Green) had no problems. You'll be grand!

So what do we bring in on the registration day besides the forms? Any equipment or what?

Also, what's this I've been hearing of some guy robbing bags in the Science department? :mad:

Bring your forms and a refill pad with a pen in case you need to take anything down, You shouldn't need anything else really!

The bag robbing thing went on a bit last year I believe especially in the IT labs but maybe also in the Science Labs too.

So the main thing is to keep your bag with you?

Also, I'm not sure if this will stay the same but my timetable online is very packed. I know it will be easier than in later years and it's more basic stuff but on one day I have only an hour break from 1-2 when I'm in from 9-6. Do the timetables change once they give them to you? My friend has it worse. Apparently, according to the online timetable, he has NO break from 9-6 on a Monday.
