You were at both ends of Donegal so. I live in the West of Donegal. Hopefully they'll be loads. The more the merrier. I got ten tickets because three of my aunts wanted to come along. 0 -
ok before y'all break your parent's bank balance -
STOP
if st. angela's is anything like it was when i was there (and i think it is) you won't need HALF of what it says on the list
best thing i'd advise is wait and speak to a 2nd year - or if on induction, an older student there to help out with orientation.
you really really won't need half the stuff - gezz we were told we needed all sorts - linen teatowel for polishing glass, xy&z amounts of this that and the other and it was utter crap
we did need at least 2 white lab coats - one for cookery and one for the science lab as crossing-over is a no-no as microbes get grown in the science lab and you certaintly don't want to be responsible for bringing e-coli into the kitchens ! :eek:
personally i thought singer sewing machines were better - i know st angela's always pushed brothers as they are more common in the northwest but being from the south, there is a singer shop in cork city which can service singers so maybe bear that in mind as well - it really doesn't matter which brand you get though.
re the accomodation and lack of shop on site - many many years of students managed before you so you'll be fine ( back in my day we HAD to live on campus with the nuns in first year, we weren't allowed to use the privately paid for bus into town and had to fork out for taxis (or hackney in my case) all the time). we also had to walk halfway into town "to the blue sign" to meet said taxis in times of snow - some great memories from that :pac:
it is isolated but at least its bigger and newer nowadays
enjoy !
come back and let us know how the social life is cos i'm laughing here to myself reading some of the posts (not in a mean way btw) but seriously the work load is sooo intense you'll wish for the leaving cert back 10 times over ! 0 -
I agree completely with happyforlife, don't rush out and buy every single item on your book and equipment list like i did!
As mentioned above 2 white coats, a sewing machine and a cutlery and dissection kit are all essentials. However you don't have to buy them from the suppliers used by the college, alot of the items in the cutlery kit can be picked up cheaply with the exception of a good set of knives.
Regarding the sewing machine the basic model of any of the popular brands is perfect, I bought a pfaff as it has a hard cover case which protects it when you are travelling about with it. Pop into your local sewing shop and at least have an idea of the cost before you go shopping in St. Angela's.
Also don't buy all the books on your book list, I remember using the anatomy and physiology, teaching practice and sewing book. All the rest were opened at most once when doing an essay and I could have easily used one of the copies in the college library. Also look up the book depository online to see how much those books are and them compare them with the prices on the list.
The B. Ed. is a very expensive course, you will be buying textiles for your fist sewing project before the end of Sept. and you'll still be spending next March on Teaching Practice on chart paper etc so spend a little time now researching the different items so you can save a little money.
The most important item to buy is a good black permanent marker to label everything 0 -

Definitely get them engraved it is so worth it as they are super expensive. A quick search on google tells me timpson in Stephens green shopping centre do knife engraving at €5 per knife!
