Introduce yourself here! Perhaps talk about societies you've joined at LIT or if you're involved with LIT Star.

You get the idea!

Hey guys, just moved up to Limerick there today and quit my band to come up here but i really don't want to stop playing music, any drummers guitarists or singers looking to start a band? I myself am a bass player ( www.youtube.com/4stringsjo ) and would love a band to mess around with do some covers write some material and just pretty much have a laugh whilst enjoying college life, anyone interested?

Im doing multimedia programming and design starting the 17th like most people

Join the music society when you start

Your post gave me an idea so I've started a new thread where can people can talk about LIT societies and other shenanigans that goes on in and around the college. Apologies for making an arse of your post too!

Anyone here doing Business with Event Management?

If you register online, that means you don't have to register in the college on the 10th, right? And do you have to have paid with the online registration to get the timetables?.. Or is it that they're not up yet?

You don't get the timetable until you go the college I think. They are only provisional too and won't be finalised until October. That's the way it was when I was there anyway.

I remember going to Limerick the Sunday night, going to LIT monday to be told I wasn't in until Wednesday. Went home that Monday, played a soccer match and went back down to Limerick on Tuesday!

still is like that. 1st day has introduction meetings with class heads, department heads etc, nobody gets timetable until the 2nd day and that timetable's provisional and could changed 7/8 times in 1st few weeks. my timetable in 1st year changed 6 times in 1st month

I don't like the sound of the timetable changes.. must be hectic

All the fb statuses from everyone who has started college already are killing me XD I know it's only a few more days wait , but still!

Black_Ninja · 04-09-2012 11:40pm

Anyone have a list of what society's there is? Can't seem to find one

rainbow66666 · 05-09-2012 4:27pm

I was wondering is there a music society and what does it entail? cause im a musician €and would really like to start another band up here

Mars Bar · 05-09-2012 4:30pm

Yes there is a music society. I think they meet up and do jam sessions. There'll also be the LIT Star so you can get a band together with the aim of entering that.

Mavis93 · 05-09-2012 4:34pm

It's also where the second and third years of the Music Tech and Video courses get some hands on experience.

had induction, met loads of new people and had a great time

can't wait to get back! Had a look at the timetable and it's not looking too bad! From what I see, I'm off on Fridays, but I'm so on edge that it's gonna change! And what do groups A and B mean? I looked at the timetables for both groups and they're both the same?

If timetable doesnt change and you've friday off you're sorted for going out every thursday night:D

Mavis93 · 14-09-2012 9:40pm

what exactly are tutorials? does it add much to the timetable?

They are the two hour slots that you do your practical work in. You should have 23 or 24 hours in your timetable.

Mavis93 · 14-09-2012 9:43pm

and when they start, do they last for the year?

Mars Bar · 14-09-2012 9:46pm

October time usually. They'll last all year, every year.

Go to all of them as attendance in them is important. You'll pick up ridiculously easy marks by just being there.

Mavis93 · 14-09-2012 9:50pm

Thanks for the heads up

now you really have me on edge that one of them will be on Friday XD Are the lecturers generally good?

Mars Bar · 14-09-2012 10:10pm

You should be looking forward to going, not looking for days off! :P

You have your good and not so good like every college. Stay on their good side and you'll be fine.
