    LOL I think at Arts level Music is open to everyone regardless of past skill but it would probably be a bit too much if you have never done theory or played an instrument. Psychology would be so cool but I heard it is pretty hard and rather have the spare brain power for English and Philosophy :P

    Nah I wish I could have my own place but I am only 20 minutes from Maynooth in a Dublin suburb so I have no excuse really, will have to commute :( , yourself?

    But I feel like I would be so bad that I think they would be like lol no you're not continuing with this course. I mean, I failed Music in first year of secondary school, it's not the course for me lol. I heard it's hard too but I'm hoping I can just stay interested enough to not want to die because of my subjects and if it all goes wrong I suppose I can always swap one.

    Ah I see, I see. I'm less than an hour away from Maynooth and the bus stops outside my estate but I got offered campus and I couldn't really turn that down. Can't wait to survive on air and vodka that could very easily just be acid.

    The bus is a minute from my house so is great for getting to Maynooth, but it leaves campus around 6pm I think which is pretty early. I am going to have to claim a lot of couches to sleep on. :P lol

    LOL tell me about it, although I have an uncle who lives near by and can crash with friends so hopefully won't be too bad on the social life. But if I was to leave every day at 6 I would have pretty much nothing outside lecture hours. :/

    I would say they will let you for that, if not can always do a lot with clubs and societies. Not knowing anyone else going into the place isn't too bad. Clean slate to make whatever first impression you want. I know a few who got Maynooth on their CAO and that's cool I guess but I would rather get to meet some new people. Everyone has nerves about it probably. People are going to think I am a mature student which is a pain (shaving since 14 and thinning hair by 17 is not fun). And I know a guy with the social skills of a carrot who is about to go in with 25,000 strangers at UCD. You will be grand :)

    Parklands is one of the nicer estates in Maynooth. There wouln't be many student houses in the estate. I don't think the locals would appreciate house parties.

    How much partying are you planning to do??!! :confused: Maynooth isn't that big. You are never more than a 30 min walk from anywhere. Or get a bike. You certaintly won't feel like you are missing anything.

    Not too much but just it would easier for getting to know people if a few students lived in the same estate.

    When I started college I didn't know a single person going there. I moved into digs in my first year and shared a room with a guy I never met before from Cavan.
    Roll the clock forward and we were best men for each other at our weddings.

    You have no idea of the journey you are about to take. Maynooth is a wonderful place. You are going to meet some amazing people and make some wonderful friends. All you need to do is say "hello".

    I feel like I should warn all the incoming freshers that Maynooth is break in central for the first month of the semester. Be careful of your stuff and make sure everything is locked/alarm set.
