    If you never applied for a HEAR place you wont be getting a place. You'll receive the general orientation pack in a week or so with regards to registration etc.

    HEAR scheme is basically extra grants and help designated to students coming from certain schools that are classed as "disadvantaged" because of the area they are located in. Schools would have been visited by a HEAR officer or given info from their guidance counselor about it, forms had to be in ages ago. Its mean's assessed, so it goes to those students whose parents are under a certain income every year.

    That is Castlewhite - if you are at the barrier entrance to Castlewhite by Gaols cross, you should nearly see it - apartment blocks are on your left, offices on the right, walk all the way down and its that green building in from of you


  • Registered Users Posts: 143 ✭✭Vetton

    Indeed, I am. :) You?

    That's long. :P That Ionad.. one you're on about. Every other event on the page looks so fun though, especially Tuesday's! I'm curious about the essay writing and sports one.

    Hahaha, if you ask I'm sure you could sit it out :)

    That essay writing seems weird, tbh I'm looking forward to the quiz the most .. I love quizzes :D

    Aw nah, I wouldn't want to be the only one excluded. I'll suck it up and act interested. :P

    I think it's maybe guidelines for essay writing in our courses. Oh yah, that too, haha. You'll easily see who the hyper/rowdy ones are. :pac: The bowling too! Ugh, let's just settle on everything before we name the whole timetable out, lel.

    The Mardyke is actually a really good sports centre!


  • Moderators, Education Moderators, Regional South Moderators Posts: 15,247 Mod ✭✭✭✭rebel girl 15


    The essay writing is one I'd advise ye go to, both in the HEAR scheme and the freshers fest - gives good advice on how to avoid plagurism and to reference correctly as well as structuring essays


  • Registered Users Posts: 143 ✭✭Vetton


    And Quazar :P Haha ok :)

    What exactly is quazar? I've never heard of it before. :o Lolno, I was teasing. Talk away!

    I'll be there about 6pm, the earliest I can get there for. :pac: I say we should all go out and tour around the campus to get to know our surroundings for the week (and year) ahead?

    Their my pick aswell :) im still a bit nervous incase its a major work load on myself

    I know what you mean but every course will have quite a work load, depends on what grade you want to get out of it too. What do you think you'll do as your double major in second and third year?

    I think I'll keep on English and Geography, we'll see how I feel about it at the end of first year though!


  • Registered Users Posts: 24 dcbeast


    So, what do we all think about the timetable then? :)

    Looks alright to me.
