Is there student accommodation on the CIT one? or do you know anyone who's moved there that likes it.
Ah cool
am well I'm not too sure about CIT accommodation but there is accommodation there around the place and plenty of it there seems to be loads of places for accommodation in cork. I actually haven't had first hand experiences of hearing from ppl who have stayed there but I'd say your best bet is to get accommodation in private student village nearby. For ucc i have been in the accommodation in the student village there and it is very nice indeed. One of the perks with ucc I hear is that the reserved accommodation for the students is up there with the best in the country. You would want to enquire and sort it out fast. I've my accommodation in mary i sorted since april, must just pay if i get the course!! I'm sure if you just google the accommodation you'll get pictures of places and stuff thats what I did for mary i. I just went onto the college website and they provided links to all the accommodation available and I went from there!!! 0 -

I'd probably just get student accommodation then you'd be with other students until 2nd year.Is Cork a good city? I haven't been there.
I've made CIT my 3rd choice . Dcu is back to 2nd I've decided just to leave it like that . I swapped nci to 4th instead.0 -

That's it lads, it's been a long time coming but we've finally made it to the deadline. Hope everyone's happy and for those going to UCC in September, see you there
I actually really like my UCC course . I really want it I may go there if I don't get my first in England but I get that. 0 -
Oh my ****ing god. I changed my #1 at 5.13 pm. Had a little chat with the parents and we agreed that the work load involved in a double degree in 4 years would be too much seeing I'd be doing everything for myself away from home. So I scrapped Education + Physchology completely. Like from #1 to out of there completely because theres no point having it if its not #1. Got Primary in Mary I #1 now and threw in Finance in UCC in the free slot. My god that was a chronic experience :O I'm very happy though...gotta admit that.Mysteriouschic wrote: »I'd probably just get student accommodation then you'd be with other students until 2nd year.Is Cork a good city?

Cork is a great city as long as you're new to it. Like I'm sick of Cork but I'm sure you're somewhat sick of Dublin too. I've been in Dublin a fair bit, nearly every summer for at least a week and I've been out there on a few nights out and Dublin is better because the atmosphere is unreal like and theres so much space and things to fm but Cork isn't too far off. Like realistically Cork is the next best city to be in tbh. Cork is definitely cleaner and safer (haha) although there are the bad places there but you'd spot them a mile away. People in Cork are sound like as long as you're friendly with them. We hate nothing more than a snobby person who thinks they're but actually probably are better than us!!
You should definitely come down to Cork for a weekend or something before September. Just get a group of ye and check it out. It's fairly class when you're pretty new to the place but ah Cork is grand like!! We'll take care of yeah like :P Well they will, hopefully I'll be living it up in stab city

Haha quite the opposite I love Dublin
I just don't want to live at home.
It would be nice to go to a different city. I've been to loads. Dublin isn't too bad lol. London is worse I was in the shopping centre on Friday the day someone got stabbed as there was a fight. I didn't see it but still I was there that day lol. I just saw police . I like most cities I don't mind where I go as long as the city is easy to get around and it's a city and not the country. I know I haven't even visited UCC . I just hope I won't get lost lol.0 -

You won't get lost in UCC it's easy to navigate around and you get used to it in no time 0 -
Really? Well Dublin is pretty damn class in fairness though... I actually would live there for good if I got the choice. I love the down to earth true 'dubs' because they're so modest, dunny and friendly like. You'll get some snaky c*nts in Cork like. But you seem naturally smart anyway so you'll be well able for the 'cute Cork hooor' haha. The parents wont be too happy though on me going to Dublin if it comes to it. Eventhough Limerick probably is more dangerous, they're worried about the distance and me being around all those people. I've a tendency to go wild in a big crowd and unfortunately they know that haha. You'd definitely want to check out UCC. I've been there loads of times and I'd still get lost easily. It's not that it's big it's just everything looks the same plus there are so many people there. It's pretty impossible to get lost in CIT though after the first day Yeah I never liked London either eventhough I haven't been there in a few years. I like Manchester though. Nice atmosphere even though some parts are pure filthy. 0

Haha my mum doesn't even know I've put down Cork yet she still thinks I have dcu as my first choice. I only put it down today though both of them.
She'll be suprised. I haven't been Manchester it sounds good. I was in Newcastle to see one of the unis it's really nice it seemed sort of like a small city like Dublin in a weird way. Dublins only a few hours on the bus or train if I do move so it's not bad. I love my independence too much to live at home I'll feel like a child tbh if I'm at home some people prefer staying at home . Plus I'll get much more confident . I like the city of London it's just so big I can't go on my own or go by train and don't go too far. I wouldn't go on my own. I was there 13yrs I still don't know it. 0 -
