    OMG I think I have Fridays off! I've no lectures on a Friday (I'm doing Geography, Business & Economics)! Unless I have a tutorial on Friday... I'm not going to get my hopes up yet

    They often give first arts people Fridays off...its to make up for the years of working in McDonalds later in life...:p

    And if you're lucky you might even get it in 2nd year :D

    Does anyone doing General Science know if we get to try out all the subjects before we chose what ones we will be studying? :)

    Yup, you're free to go to any lectures, and you can change your modules with the registration office within the first 3 weeks I think.

    What exactly is missing? It could just be tutorials.

    Nooooooo, lucky! I've only the 1 lecture (Tort Law at 10am) on the Friday so I suppose I can't complain, would've loved it off though!

    So all the Science kids know what subjects they're picking?

    Excluding labs/tutorials my timetable for Computer Science, Chemistry, Bio and Maths looks fairly handy.

    Most of my good friends are heading to Maynooth. All but one got campus but I think they've found somewhere. How about Ballymahon?

    Awh, that's a shame! At least you have someone for law though. There's plenty going to Dublin and Sligo. I'm not sure about Galway though... I've only heard of one person from my year going there.

    I may sound like a huge noob here but how long is each lecture? :/ I'm imagining myself having to rollerblade across campus in order to catch the start of each lecture :P

    45 minutes to an hour usually. The lecturer will usually leave time for you to get to your next lecture.

    Check for your course on qualifax, it should say the number of places.

    Well, the majority of people here are in NUI, Maynooth and most of them would have chosen it as their first choice. So I doubt anyone is going to suggest you repeat so you can go to another University just because you perceve it to be better.

    Phew! I'm not the only one :L I might head home every second weekend maybe less. Travelling is too expensive. Hopefully there'll be a few still around campus. I imagine it'd be like a ghost town at the weekend though :/

    Ah there is always a few about! People from far away, or with lots of course work to do. It gets quiet, but the town remains busy enough.
    Nothing compared to summer months.. *tumbleweed*

    Nope, there was a decent buzz in Mantra last week :p

    Bit of advice for the all incoming 1st years, Burger and pint €10 deal in mantra is class.

    10oz burger, chips and whatever pint you want for €10.

    Mantra is dead during the day though, the only other person there was some old guy trying to chat up the barwoman who is a student.

    It probably is unlikely not many places hiring and hundreds of students looking for jobs, even tesco the biggest shop in Maynooth has been told not to hire anyone. (Except me :rolleyes:)

    Is there anything important happening before September 14th? I'll be working in England from the 31st of August for two weeks, and I'm a HEAR student.
