    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.


    Well, orientation is on the 10th till the 14th. You'll have to attend 2/3 of those days depending on your course to register. I'm sure it's the same days for HEAR students?

    Yeah HEAR students have launchpad from the 26th to the 29th of August. If you want to get in on reduced points you have to be there, if you got more points than you need its optional I think.

    Check here for the days you need to be in for registration http://studentservices.nuim.ie/sites/studentservices.nuim.ie/files/documents/Orientation%20Guide.pdf

    Only one of the orientation days is really important, the day you're down to register. Ring or send an email to the student records office when you know what day you're meant to register (it'll be in your welcome pack) and let them know you can't go. They'll let you know when you can register then (it'll probably be the first week of lectures).

    The college didn't know their full list of students until 5.15 on Friday, they either posted the information packs Friday night or will first thing on Monday morning.

    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.

    Wow that's really a good deal! Gonna be there a LOT if that's the case!

    Boardsies burgers? :D

    I assume if you're a HEAR student and you go to the launchpad, you don;t have to go to the other orientation?

    No, HEAR students that got in on lower points have to go to both. HEAR students that got more points than they need have to go to the normal orentation and can go to Launchpad if they want and have a ticket.

    It could work, just keep telling her how nice the burgers are so she will go for one :P

    AFAIK an 8oz burger and chips is €12 accross the road without the pint.

    And pints in mantra are €5.50 so its a good deal.

    Another quick question, what's the social GAA team like? Used to play but switched to rugby, but I'd love to get back into it!

    There are NO stupid questons! :)

    Yes, but the letter of the law seems blurred when you venture onto the South(old campus, I actually typed out "across the bridge"... fail! where the new library is and beyond into gorgeous old buildings :D )

    Skateboards may not be legislated by the college charter but Unicycles are not mentioned specifically either and I have had more than my fair share of run ins with security. bicycles are strictly forbidden on most of south campus (i may be wrong and it may state "cycling" ) ,don't get me wrong about security, they're lovely guys but they have a job to do and believe me you don't want to have to take you issue up with BRENDAN! Ashe. I'd ask someone in YOUR union(tootyflooty?? Or Banquo may know?) specifically about skateboards If your planning on being on south campus, but north campus I believe you are golden once you're not crashing into people, or inside a building.
