I got Management IT in Business . level 7

manutd4life

I'm graduating this year from the Level 8 Business course. Gives you a broad range business areas and you get a great understanding of it all. The lecturers are great. Like any course, if you put the work in, you will be rewarded.

With regards to the college, you will really enjoy it. Its small so you get to know everyone. There are a lot of great nights out. Go out during Freshers Week and get to know your new classmates and make new friends. Its a brilliant college and I hope you enjoy your time in NCI because I sure did

No it's not a full day, just few hours, then there are some activities after it for which you can stay or go.

Mostly it will be the same for everyone, but a bit differ for each faculty (business, computing etc..). For computing (which I am) we were brought around to rooms in which we were told we will spend most of our times (truly those rooms became like a 2nd home for me ), you will be introduced to some of your main lecturers (for computing it was programming lecturer named Frances, shes teaching programming for us), you will be brought around college, gym, shown around, students union and told about rules, activities and so on. On the day you will come to college for orientation day there will be a queue of people lined for a desk from which you will be directed to specific group, say B2, B3, etc.. So each group will be like 20 people (not whole course in 1 group). So technically your first friends/friend will be one of those 20 (that's the time when I met 3 people I am communicate a lot now with). It's really made up in a great way, easy.

The next friendlying session will be in your lecture, in our lecture I remember, whole our course (like 80 people) got tossed around room) then said turn around and talk to person about that and that, very nice and funny way to meet people

I can guarantee if you are sociable and not like "forever alone" meme you will know all your course and talk to them by the end of october.

have fun, if you have anymore questions just ask.

you're not the only one :L nervous as well, won't know anybody either. one of my friends is going to UCD and he starts on the 6th, so I guess NCI isn't the only college starting early.

Oh it must be just NCI and UCD that start early and I know Trinity starts late.
I'm hoping I'll speak to people in the queue if it's really silent I won't want to break the silence. Are you gonna go the the freshers events the week after? not sure what they will be though.

on freshers week, I might just sign up to a club/society or whatever :L doubt I'll be doing much else though cus a lot of the events take place in the evening (last year they did anyway) and I live down in Meath, so I doubt I'd be able to make it to any of them.

Oh I don't live too far but taxi fare is a bit expensive on my own. You might find a few others who live in meath and you could maybe go to maybe a Friday event in the evening or Wednesday if one is on. Is freshers from the 17th-21st just saw it on the facebook SU page. I'll probably just sign up to a few club/soc too not quite sure what yet? What you gonna sign up to?
