Trinity Freshers 2013

HelloFluffy

Well, this is interesting. Everything has disappeared, and I haven't touched it..

^TAP?

I'm with the TAP under HEAR but I still had to pay the USI levy. I would probably contact them just in case.

I have a question about the pre-registration:
I've applied to SUSI, but my application is still 'awaiting assessment', and might be that way for a few more weeks. Should I just leave the pre-registration until I hear back from SUSI, or should I do the pre-registration now, skipping the SUSI part - and hope to be able to amend that later if my application is accepted?

Not doing the access programme, but up until today the system still had me down as a music student (this was my second choice, but I was offered my first choice on the second round and accepted straight away).
Now that I've confirmed my first choice, everything has been wiped, and I'm still due to pay the sports centre charge and USI levy!
If it hasn't changed by tomorrow to include the Trinity Hall charge, I am definitely contacting them.

i'd just add susi as a sponsor and put down a 100% on the options they give you. they will let you know if you cant get 100%. also susi might not accept you for weeks. so register now.

HelloFluffy

I rang Trinity today and they said to put down 100% for now, so that's grand!

Thanks for the help!

Hey guys! Anybody here get a place in Halls and reject it! I got a Single Ensuite, and it cost in excess of €6000. So I'm looking for alternative accommodation! Anybody know of any places available? Cheers!

unlike other towns/cities, Dublin doesnt have accommodation reserved for students! I would rather stay with a Trinity student that I know However.. Beggars can't be choosers!

Hey guys, this could be a stupid question. Is there a list of societies? and How can I join them? I will miss the freshers' week and I am afraid I will end up being lost. Does anyone know where I can go to ask for information and stuff afterwards?

Look at the Trinity Website. Very easy to find list. Don't worry you won't get lost. Contact any society/club if interested

The basic accommodation, and the utilities. I received an email saying that prices will increase also. Wasn't a feasible option for me, so I rejected the offer! At least someone who was disappointed will get my place now

Thanks! I have temporary accommodation sorted! I want to get a house/apartment with students I know. Hopefully I get to see ye all during Freshers Week.

*Emphasis on the "Hopefully".. Only 17!*

Coming from the U.S., I have no idea how Freshers week works as far as these wristbands I've been hearing about. I can get (buy??) my wristband when I move in to Halls on the 13th right? Should I be concerned at all about not getting one? :S

There'll be a wristband for sale in Halls from JCR officers which allows you entry to the clubs/travel to venues for the 3 nights of the Halls initiation weekend. You don't need to buy the wristband, but if you plan on going out each of the 3 nights it'll work out cheaper to get the band (plus you can use the organised bus into town).

There's a separate wristband available for Freshers' Week which allows you entry to the 4/5 events organised by Trinity Ents. That band will be available from the Student Union shop on campus during Freshers' week.

Hi, Seán here, only 17 doing computer science. Who all else is doing it?
I haven't got an email for registration yet, and I can't log in to the portal, is anyone else in the same boat? They said it would open early September.

I'm in CompSci too! You should have received an email with your student ID number, which allows you to log onto the portal and it includes a welcome from the provost. Did you get this email? If not, ring TCD and they should sort it out for you! No freshers have been invited to register yet, I think they're registering current students first and then they'll invite us to register on a course by course basis!

I got the email with the student ID and the welcome letter, when I try to log on to the portal it won't let me. I'm going to ring them anyway, and find out what the craic is with it.
Edit: I figured it out, it's grand now.
