    Got an invite for an open day 28th and 29th Aug for the mature students, prob to show us where they keep the walking sticks and zimmer frames etc... And a prep Maths class on the 7th of Sept. Dont know when we actually start classes and stuff though.

    Freshers week from previous experience(ex WIT & DIT student:rolleyes:) will prob be the week beginning the 17th or 24th of sept I'd say. The week commencing the 10th of sept is just induction/orientation so I would be suprised if freshers was that week;)

    Going to move down to Cork on the 7th or 8th of sept I'd say. Can't wait to move down at this stage:D

    Not at all, very few rough area's on the south side of the city at all so you'd have to go completely out of your way to find one.

    Ah weird, I was in Maynooth last year and Freshers was the week before we started college (ie: the week of orientation etc!). Must be diff in the IT's so! :D

    Still haven't received anything from CIT in the post.. Hope they send something out, love getting post.. :D

    I heard beyond CIT, some parts of Bishopstown can be a bit rough at times! Think it's the far side though, so you wouldn't really be up there anyway!

    Really is haha.. this is like the most active thread here in over a year.. Kinda shocking :p

    I think most health science courses are usually female dominated so you're in luck :pac:

    I've been in Cork for the last few years anyway.. not looking forward to the bus out from town every morning tho, apparently the number 5 isn't that reliable.

    The number 5 is very reliable, but it's always packed to the f*cking gills! The drivers really ram everyone on, to the point when you can't actually get the doors open fully! It's the worst part of going to CIT, that f*cking bus in the morning!

    For anyone interested, here's a link to the orientation dates, just look for whatever course you're doing, and that's the day you go in to register :)

    It's just basically going to register as a student of CIT, and picking modules etc for your course :)

    Juggling! It would be so helpful because of my lack of hand-eye co-ordination. :D
    D'you think it would be impossible to sneek a friend - not living in Cork - in to my room? I read the lease and it said no guests after midnight? :/ Bit snide.

    YAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYY!! Found info on FAQ:
    "Can we have guests stay overnight?

    Guests are allowed to stay overnight occasionally (one guest per apartment) and we would simply ask that you sign them in and out at reception and also inform your flat mates out of courtesy."

    Bit stupid that we have to jump over hurdles to do so. Won't choose Deanshall again (for that reason) for second year.

    Oh.. that' wound be pretty annoying if one person in the apartment had someone over at the same time wouldn't it!
    There could be student accom that let you have a guest over more often i suppose, :P Pssh, all gravy now anyway huh! Good luck ^____^

    I lived in Deanshall last year and often had friends stay over. Never been a problem. Security couldn't care less really once they know your not causing trouble/having loud parties all night.

    Only time you're not allowed have people stay over is during RAG week/CIT Xmas day. They checked my name on a list alright on CIT Xmas day last year..

    Oh that's good. I have friends who all chose Dublin for college and want to visit Cork. I'll just seduce them with my manly wiles.
    What's CIT Xmas day? Like what do you do? Does Santa come round? :)

    It's just basically an all day drinking session to be honest. Same in pretty much all colleges:rolleyes:
