    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.

    Great thanks for your help. I'll just wait for the pack.

    Ring them, that's what my mother did and they tell you where to go and stuff .. something about a big green house between 2 and 6, and then the warden's office after that :)

    What? :eek: They never told me any of that. Just told me to sign in at Castlewhite. :lol:

    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

    Kless stuff. :cool: Hey see the timetable we got, do you know if we have to attend everything on that? I'm not a fan of Irish, and that event on Wednesday does nothing for me. :pac:

    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.

    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 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

    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!
