Just to let you know, NCI doesn't have a campus as such like DCU or UCD. Its in the IFSC so as you would imagine there would be no space for a campus. Its is a small college.

@arleitiss: There is a computer games and karting society, so you should sign up for them. I don't think there is a 3D modelly or photography society but you could always start one.

MagicIRL · 25-08-2011 12:24pm

I'm going there myself to do NC003 come Sept. Looking foward to it. As for all the things to do and join, I guess I'll wait and see

Haunted Negativity · 26-08-2011 7:46pm

BSc Computing (NC003) in September myself. Looking forward to it, hopefully all goes well!.

Yeah, I always expect the worse in these times. but except in this case, getting to do a degree course in an AMAZING career field!.

Adam · 27-08-2011 2:40pm

Haunted Negativity · 27-08-2011 2:41pm

Adam · 27-08-2011 3:03pm

Haunted Negativity · 27-08-2011 4:14pm

kouffaley · 29-08-2011 12:20am

Adam · 29-08-2011 12:26am

yes, as far as i'm aware the classes are mixed, as you can continue from HCCA into third year of BSHC.

kouffaley · 29-08-2011 12:29am

YEAH THANKS,SO SEE you guys there. all the best

DubDJ · 31-08-2011 5:13pm

First year is great. Loads of activities and events to do. Just make sure you make friends quick, so you know a few for freshers week. Which is the week after you's will start.

You'll love the timetable. First semesters was good, then semester two was great. We all got Wednesday's off. It's a great college overall.

MagicIRL · 31-08-2011 9:45pm

All us creepy boardsies joining NC003 better be friends... or you're going on my ignore list.

Pidgeton · 31-08-2011 10:16pm

Another one for NC003 over here haha.

Why do I get the feeling it's going to be a major sausagefest.

Adam · 01-09-2011 1:50am

well i was at mature student induction day a couple of weeks ago and it was probably 60/40 males to females, but you should consider the fact that boards population is mostly male, so you're less likely to hear from the females on the forum....it probably will be though! :P

MagicIRL · 01-09-2011 9:50am

Last one in has to wear the dress...

arleitiss · 01-09-2011 10:50pm

Luckily I am starting this course with my friend. Other than that: We should all wear name tags with our boards nicknames.

Feck sake, semester 2 in Second Year was the first time our course had a day off. BAHBMD ftw :rolleyes:

MagicIRL · 05-09-2011 9:09pm

arleitiss · 05-09-2011 11:13pm

Yeah. Is it just come and collect ID? or what? Also do you need passport to prove your identity?
Also: Any idea how many places approx is there in NC003? Or how many people at least?

I assume it will be taken there on cam and printed onto card. I did my registration online no forms were required.

arleitiss · 06-09-2011 11:46am

Computer classes usually are sausage fests. HRM is were it is at at least 70 to 30 per cent ratio of women to men

Yeah she was nervous today. First we hardly found registration, then had no idea what they are gonna ask. We both are non-native English speakers. So during some important cases or things to do we are quite often nervous worrying that people can ask something that we wont understand.

Looks ok

MagicIRL · 07-09-2011 1:13pm

I seen one female in the line although she had redhair.

a-challenger-appears

Adam · 07-09-2011 3:27pm

i couldn't tell if she was staff or a student?

arleitiss · 08-09-2011 5:16pm

Well damn this was pretty great day, didn't expect it to be that good to be honest. Quite fun. I was in B2 group. Anyone else?

MagicIRL · 08-09-2011 6:01pm

1 B myself, I think. Stephen B, so maybe it was sorted some alphabetical way?

Don't think it was alphabetical.
I am Artur L. Yet I was in group with totally different surnames and names. I think it was random or so.

Adam · 08-09-2011 6:36pm

It was indeed alphabetical, I was 2A. Good day, roll on Monday morning Programming! :P
