    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!

    do you go up on ur own or are your family supposed to come up or what? :/

    Yes, as a first year, hoping to do Mobile Communications and Security.
    I live here, so feel free to ask me any questions about the area.

    hey newbies! welcome to heaven! your gonna love it...anyone needs advice etc, im a fourth year english and history student.

    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...
    Throw yourself into orientation week, esp. the social stuff, chat to everyone you bump into, it's normally a great opportunity to get to know people while everyone is feeling a bit lost! :)

    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 :/

    Yep I think I'm in almost exactly the same boat as you :/
    but sure, chin up!
    It is college after all :D

    I'm looking forward to it, I'm 40 points clear of what I need for Digital media, myself and a friend have Plassey booked, but as far as we know we're the only two from our school heading down. Does anyone know what happens when you go down, as I'll have to go down with my parents with all my things to move in etc.

    Classy Plassy :D some craic in that place! bandit country :P

    what you looking for help on? like official stuff or just general life?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 26 Markyy


    Haha, yeah sure we figured we may aswell have a bit of craic after the leaving cert. Just kind of a general overview of the lot, I'm the eldest of my family and most of my friends are in the same year as me and year below me so I don't know a whole load of people in college. So I just want to know how the whole thing works really. If its too much to put into a post a pm would be great. Much appreciated btw. :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,277 ✭✭✭Chris Martin


    Likewise,
    If I come across you in UL and notice you by face I'll say hello :P
    Can label me as boards guy :D
    At least people won't say,
    "Look at that lonely b*****d, lets throw stones at him." :(
    Nice to half know someone :)
    Only 20 or so people in my course (praying to God I get it now,)
    Hopefully I'll get to know a few of them :P

    You're all going to have a fantastic time is all I'll say, first September since 2007 I won't be going back.

    Lord first year - just do enough to get the 2.0 QCA [though be mindful some modules may count toward professional exemptions a lá Managerial Accounting for those of you pursuing Accounting based courses].

    Enjoy it, the time flies.

    Anyone know when the admissions office for UL closes? I got in contact with them today and they said they needed to review a mistake on my course or something and that they'd be back in touch.

    I haven't heard anything since half 12 :/
