I'm doing the Computing course and first year should be handy enough if you put the effort inHollister11 wrote: »I'm doing either computing or computer applications.
The one thing I'm worried about is making friends, are people nice and easy to make friends with ?
. Most of the people in my class are genuinely nice people and with the size of the college it shouldn't be any hassle to make new friends. 0 -

I googled it yesterday

Different thresholds
I'm embarrassingly stupid, what does this even mean:
25% rate of maintenance
+
Field trip element
+
100% tuition fees
or
100% student contribution?

Maintenance is where they give you money to help you cover living costs (money that will go into your current account).Kayleigh.. wrote: »I'm embarrassingly stupid, what does this even mean:

Field trip element......I hvent a clue, some courses go abroad for a weekend for some reason (Ive seen it alot with art/design/some health (not medicine :P) courses) so I guess the field trip would be to cover that if your course does indeed go abroad or even to another end of the country
The government pays your tuition fees-it snot means tested but if for some reason the government dont (eg you are not a citizen of the eu) susi will pay for that.......however if the government does pay your tuition fees (which they will in your case) then susi will pay your student contribution fee which is a standard rate of 2750 euro
If your confused about the difference between tuition fees and student contribution heres a link which explains it better

As for the maintenane fee.....there are 2 different types of rates, the non adjacent rate is for students who live a little further from college and normally would hve to find accomadation (I happen to know people from tuam who are not eligible for the non adjacent rate that attend NUIG) the adjacent rate is for those who live closer to college, these people normally live at home. The figures you see is how much SUSI will give you for the year-they pay it equal installments from October to June

And like what happens if you get a scholarship? Does that money have to be added to your application or anything? :pac:0 -

I dont think so. SUSI bases who gets a grant off the previous years account so if you got a scholarship lets say worth 1000 euro this year thats hardly going to be on last years accounts....I dont even know if thats classed as income
If youre really unsure email the college maybe However just so youre warned in NUIG (I thinnk you said thats where you aim to go) have different rules about whether or not if you did hl maths
If you want a scholarship you need 560 points at minimum-if you did OL maths
The minimum is 585 points if you did HL maths. (or atleast thats how it was last year)
Also I kow other colleges do it but IDK about NUIG but other Unis have ther own set of rules about medicine scholarships (cause its such a high demand course I can see the majority of the course getting scholarships with your rocket high points :P Trinity will only give away 10 scholarships I believe to its highest performing medical students on the year of entry)0 -

REALLY?!
Why :eek::o
What do you want to study instead?
I lost interest in it :rolleyes:
I've mostly Maths courses down - mathematical science/ financial Maths and economics and then I have biomedical engineering as my last choice.
A C3 in honours Maths is an entry requirement for everything I want 0 -
Ooooooh swit swoo
Naughton is it?
So youre wondering if scholarship money will effect your grant-I dont think it would this year, it might next year (you always use the previous years accounts when applying foe SUSI so I guess potentially you cold win a million euro this year and still get a grant for your first year of college :P)
AH would have a field day. 0 -

Not Naughton, shell/corrib gas. :P €2,000 for each year of third-level study, it's not bad.
Ah I get it, thank you, very much 0 -
