    I went to UL last year and it was honestly the best thing I ever did. Go over to the UL forum if ye have any questions, the guys are so helpful there.

    I'm heading down to UL today to check out the campus. If anyone (woodwork people in particular) wants to meet up with me, send me a PM and I'll drop you my number. Should be sometime in the afternoon/evening.

    Just wondering how you go on today ? :rolleyes:
    Did you get a tour or anything ?

    I'm hoping to do Woodwork and Graphics teaching. Never actually been to the city centre, or even the college for that matter. Planning on winging it. :o
    If I get in i'm going to stay in Thomond student village.
    Fairly confident I got the points but could have/probably failed maths :(

    Got 35 points over what I needed for Woodwork and Graphics teaching in UL. Let's hope it doesn't suddenly jump up drastically!

    Fortunately you can major in English Studies, which means I'd be teaching English to foreign people and what not. I also get to learn the literature and what not so other languages don't really have anything to do with it unless you choose them :D

    I'm going to move up on the 28th and get my keys for Plassey then stay till orientation (31st) and come home till the 4th :) Think it's a pretty good idea but I'm scared of going alone :(

    Got points for course, Science Choice (will confirm Monday though),
    Supposed to be going here with someone but on my lonesome now because they never got their points...
    Trying to find accommodation nearby but will be on my lonesome in every respect then.
    Anticipate going into a new school again, clueless and lost,
    Except this school is about 10 times bigger than my last one and I'm not good with maps and directions at the best of times...
    You'll get to know me eventually as the person creeping into class 15 minutes late with a sheepish smile and a list full of excuses :)
    Do you have to turn up on the 28th August yes?
    That officially Orientation week?
    Wish I had a timetable or something to work off :/

    Basically the day the orientation is on (different days for diff courses) you go to a large meeting with all the courses who have their orientation that day, president of UL speaks...president of the SU speaks etc etc.

    Then you get a tour of UL with a guide (who's a student) in group of 7 pr 8 (all from your course! easy way to make friends), you enrol, get your ID card, computer account and meet your course director.

    It's worth hanging around as there'll be craic to be had!
