You'll save yourself paying half the fees if you change by january, which is another thing to consider.

aye, if you transfer at least you know what you can and can't get into - if you drop out and reapply you could get royally assraped.

Listen to ace. Don't do something you don't want too, save yourself 5 grand and transfer now if you can.. Talk to your tutor and go to a college guidance counsellor to make sure you're making the decision you really want.

Thinking of changing your Course?
If you think that you have chosen the wrong course for any reason see your tutor. You may change to a new course within the first few weeks if:

You have the points
You have the necessary subject and level of achievement requirements
AND if there is a vacant place.
The Careers Advisory Service may be able to help you identify your options. Make an appointment to meet with your Careers Adviser. We suggest that you evaluate your interests by completing one of the guidance software packages - generally Pathfinder is recommended as a starting point, for Junior Freshmen

If you are thinking of leaving TCD and going elsewhere you may need to go back to your school guidance counsellor.

If you leave your course before the end of January you may save half of next years fees, if you return to full-time further education next year.

Don't worry about missing course material.. JF, handy to pick up in the two remaining terms.

EDIT: I know someone who transferred from bess to sci (maths, phys chem) in jan of my JF.. She's not one of those mad geniuses or anythin but she still didn't have much of a prob keepin up at all

Thanks for the advice everyone. It's nothing to do with my course or the college actually - purely personal reasons. If I reapply next year it would probably still be to science in TCD. I'm gonna talk to my tutor tomorrow, have a good long chat, see what he says.

Just taken a year out then basically is what you wanna do then? Das kewl... Pretty sure if you defer from now, you only gotta pay half ur fees next yr. Good luck with that btw..

Yeah the way they do it is the cut-off for getting half fees free is the end of january. We all have to re-register then anyways, to show that we're in college, so if you do decide to drop out it'll mean you only pay half.

I transferred in after missing an entire term btw!

But hey, best of luck with what you decide.
