    does anyone actually know how much of the orientation days are mandatory? i've found out that one of my orientation days is on the same day as my debs. is there anything here that i don't need: greeting by president, meet the student
    services team, Campus tour, academic & technology, student life, the arts talk
    Same here! My debs is on the 12th and I've orientation on both the 12th and 13th. Looks like I'm not drinking that night so I can make it to registration on the 13th :(

    Howiya David! I'm not a regular on boards but I'm trying to to become familiar with it. I went to school in Moyne. Believe it or not, I lived nearby Ballymahon during the weekends during the leaving cert year so I could study in peace! Nice to see someone else from Longford going to NUIM for law. :D

    And omg, we've spent the last like page talking about food! :L
