I started as a mature student last yr dude. Computer Apps has a huge drop out rate and is very intense from what I've heard but I've also heard if u put the work in you should be grand

Have u been up to DCU yet? I did Multimedia, its a handy enough course

DCU is great, its what you make of it yourself, join some clubs & socs, get involved, make the most of it!

Just dropping in to revalidate the clubs and societies thing. Redbrick (networking society in DCU) is probably the most relevant to CA, and a lot of computing students join it.

Hope to see you all in DCU next year

I'm actually second year, I started DCU last year.The beggining was very hard for me, everybody was half of age younger then me..after really easy fetac course DCU was biiiiig challenge...I'm not Irish, so stress was really doubled...but finally I finished first year with first class honours result. DCU is very busy, but when you put a lot of work, you're gonna be ok, I promise It's also very exciting, of course when you learn things which you like...

I am not Irish either and also have found that the course I just finished was handy enough. Fortunately I am TOTALLY interested in the course that I'm going to study. Excited about every single module so I actually can't wait till I start

I was (and still I am)very excited, I was so happy when I got place and after that student grand, but first months were really terrible, I chilled out after first exams, when I saw my results. Second semester was much relaxed for me..but I put all my free time in it, I studied each day, each weekend...but it was really profitable, I was completely surprised when I saw my results after summer exam, it was the best recompense...where are you from?and what course are you going to do???I do analytical science.

Starting September also. Got my first choice on the CAO so delighted. Will be checking out the poker society.
