First year housemates NUIG

You should be able to find a place on the accomodation thread come august, always loads of people trying to fill rooms in their houses. Just finished first year CS if you have any questions on it..

A little off topic but you are in for the greatest 3/4 years of your life! I miss college

Thats good to know. was first year good or just were you just learning the bases of everything?

It's pretty soft if you put in a little bit of effort. I have a feeling second year will be a lot different. I'd say the most important thing is trying your absolute hardest in all of the assignments and Continuous assessment, it's easy to skip them for one reason or another but come exam time the people who hadn't done a lot of the continuous assessment were in a bad spot.. and the people who had done all the assignments all year had to do next to nothing for the exams to pass.

Maths is the only subject that I felt I needed to go to the lectures, (I still missed most of them). Try not to miss any computing science or Programming labs they're the two most important things. I barely ever went to any lectures and I felt maths was the only subject I felt I was actually missing out on not going to the lectures. (If you haven't done physics then go to the physics and Electronic engineering lectures).

Maths is 30% for xmas exam, 30% for summer and 40% for CA. Go to the maths tutorials every week because they do the maths assignments and getting a high mark on those assignments will be the difference between passing maths and having a mountain of study to do come exams.

If you have any other specific questions or anybody else doing Computer Science who has any questions about first year you can send me a PM.

I'm from Galway as well so if you have any questions about accommodation or what certain places are like you can give me a shout. Missing out on student accommodation is big though, it's a lot more craic and you make a lot more friends but if you are stuck with private housing make sure you get a house in the right area. Dun na coirbe, Wood Quay, Newcastle Road and a few other places.

Im going into second year and looking for roommates as im trying to move away from student accommodation. Im looking at getting a place in dun na coiribe which is a pretty good location surrounded by student accommodation. I have no problem living with first years so if any of ye are up for living there too give me a shout, I have a house in mind at the minute.

Hey, Im going searching today in galway, is anyone still interested in sharing?

Hi Katie, I got offered NUIG today and can't seem to get any campus accommodation and would like to share with other first years also. Could you let me know how you get on in Galway today?

Got offered NUIG today and have no accommodation or anyone to share with. If anyone is in the same boat let me know

Anyone know any accommodation that'd let me stay til the appeals are back which would be early to mid October?
