Asked my guidance counsellor the other day - the whole year is going and we don't pay for tickets, apparently

Shrimp

yeah, sometimes they include it in school fees, you'd think we were paying enough.. now i gotta pay more on top of them... :rolleyes:

Gazza22

I'm going to it on Thursday...need to gather some science info even though as many have said it mightn't to be a whole lot of help

CrimE

Im going too. No idea when though, I should probably find out but ah well. I am pretty sure I know what I'm going to be doing in college but it might still be interesting. Looking forward to it. Anyone know what times its on at ie. Will i get the whole day off?

Shrimp

You'll prolly be told on monday, after all it does start on wednesday.

Just noticed that, thanks. Will go anyway, want to talk to the people from Belfast

If anyone's going tomorrow and sees someone in a long grey coat and a halo t-shirt, it's me. Introduce yourself!

Funkstard

Well I went today, it was good for getting proespectusii (geek) and if you know specific courses you might do, most of the desks have someone there who will talk to you. At the DIT desk there was a girl studying architecture which was quite handy. You get a free paper too which is always nice, and Portobello were handing out free massive lollipops too!

Stay the feck away from the take away food outside, my friend paid €2.50 for a bottle of water! €2.50 ffs!

Also the Army place was deadly, bazookas and **** being thrown around

CrimE

Class! I heard that the army yoke was good alright. Looking forward to it and the lollipops now

We have been told to go in the merrion entrance, anyone know what bus routes go near?

Funkstard

Not too sure, the 7, 111 or 45 I think. I got the Dart in, Sandymount station is about two seconds away

d4gurl

I went after my classes on Wednesday about 1! I found it to be good! The rush had died down and it was good talking to the Uk colleges! Personally Trinity and Ucd werent great help at all! They were way to busy! Still dont get that horizons crap!! I think its to do with experimenting with differnt courses or something!! I missed some free stuff!

grimloch

A few universities I wanted to have a few words with weren't there, namely Oxford, University of Leeds and Glasgow.

It wasn't the heap of crap it was hyped up to be.

CrimE

Personally me and all my friends thought it was pretty crap and a dissapointment. Anything I found out there I could have found out on the net. Would have been the most boring event ever if it wasnt for the armys section.

Am I alone or does anyone else agree with me?

4Xcut

didn't even bother going. assumed it was like any other open day, just an excuse for a day off

Kenshi

I think I saw leeds
