I couldn't live at home and commute to University every day. I'm from the South-East and know people who get buses to Carlow or Waterford every day. They never mix with new people or go out with college people, just stick with each other. It's all so.... insular.

I think if you live in Cork or Dublin it would be illogical to stay in student accommodation though.

Aspiring

Commuting would be pure ****e tbh. That's why I need to get my first choice, already have accomodation secured whereas with my other choices I'd have to find somewhere in August, and could end up commuting. I'd prefer to repeat tbh.

Do we get specially ruled pages for accounting? Somebody said we did. Would save a lot of time. Tabular will still be a bitch tho so many boxes. What do you mean, how could you not fit it on one page? :P

Sometimes I don't fit the p+l onto one page because of all the headings and totals and stuff...but if i put totals on the same line and stuff it saves space, yeah I think you can get special paper but you dont have to, think Ill rule my own just cos I'm used to it and I can keep everything together so its easier for the corrector. If tabular comes up though I plan on using book 1 paper though... not a chance would we have time to rule out all of those boxes

Biomed in Cork and biomed in UCD are different, with biomed in cork you can work in a hospital lab as a biomedical scientist, UCD's biomed is more research geared

Anyone else for UCD Undenominated Science?

I'd just read over it a few times just in case you might need it:)

Do you do the human elective? I hate it so much!

Something like "na gcailíní" afaik. Plural TG takes an urú and it is a lot of the time in english something of the someones, "the group of the girls" etc.
Someone please please tell me if I'm wrong. :pac:

Yeah, I can't stand it.. I still haven't revised it, keep putting it off :P I'm not too bad with physical and regional now, feel slightly relieved.. I always thought it wasn't hard to get an A in geo, oh how naive :pac: think I'll come out with a B1 :rolleyes:

I got A1's in every test up to the pres... It's a completely different kettle of fish when you've 700 pages to revise as opposed to one or two sections :P

I also found out that my study technique did sweet f*ck all and now I have to read over the whole regional geography section again to refresh it in my mind :rolleyes:

Theres so much interlap between elective and regional though! If you know either fairly well then you wont do bad in either. And to the poster who asked about weathering, dont leave it out it overlaps so much with rivers youll actually find it helpful to learn it. and besides carbonation and freeze are like the two easiest things to learn on the course

Hotale.com

The questions they ask in regional geography are horrible... in nearly every question you have to come up with 3 or 4 SRPs if you want to get full marks

Yeah I'm the same, I always thought I was the top student in geography :cool:

I find that regional is the one section I have to keep going back to, doesn't stay in my head :pac:
