    I'm Rebecca, I'm 19, I failed common entry science MISERABLY so I am now hoping to re-apply into Law and Society :)

    To whoever was asking, you cannot get into Genetics and Cell Biology through Common Entry. Friend of mine had the points for it, but put down common entry, really wanted GCB and now she wont get it :(

    If anyone has any questions on common entry or any other other science course (all the first year courses are exactly the same), fire away :)

    How do they determine who gets into what course from common entry?

    I just did first year there, avoid larkfield, decent craic but its very restrictive and expensive

    It may not be the best accommodation in fact it's possibly the worst on campus accommodation I've seen for any college in terms of space (granted I haven't seen a lot) :P

    But would you not at least recommend it for meeting people? the fact that you're surrounded by first years is the only reason I picked it. :confused: :pac:

    Fines for stupid things, ie place being messy, posters on he walls etc etc.

    Worse thing is, if you are a lad, and you pull some bird who doesn't live on campus, you cant bring her back unless you sneak her in.(which sometimes you can)

    You can have people over but it costs money and you have to book in advance.

    You need a card for the guards to let you in after 11 you see...

    Im a DCU and AF alumni. Couldnt rate DCU highly enough! As for the campus accommodation - ah sure you can find a cheap house well within walking distance - if not accross the road!

    AFAIK yeah, I didn't actually live there mind but some friends did.

    If you get them in before 11pm, when they start checking cards, you should be ok though.

    Exam results. Whoever passed all their exams gets their number one choice, don't know what happens to the people who failed..

    Did it a few months back. It's free to get on the waiting list so I'd do it now if I were you!

    I put mine in when i finalised my CAO, so around late June maybe? It might have been early July too though. I'd say put it in now just to be 100% sure. . .
