    Sorry, ReacherCreature but it made a huge difference to me and others what time lectures are on. Some students commute long distances and early starts are not always possible. Some of us have families and sometimes might even enjoy the odd night out. Of course we all should attend all lectures but its not always possible in the real world.

    I have to agree with Reacher - your post about lectures being on 9am and it not being convenient if you are out Tuesdays and Thursdays seemed to come across as a typical student stereotype - you said not to bother studying it, and it seemed that the only reason for this is that because of the times it is on.

    freshers fest isn't vital at all tbh - don't think I went to mine!

    Don't think I'll be ale to make freshers fest, my debs are the night before :/

    Same here :\ I haven't a clue what to do because I've been hearing from one side its a must to go and others like 2nd years and stuff that it really didn't bother them.

    I'd rather go to Freshers but I've already paid for my tickets and dress, I might head home from the debs earlyish(around 1 or 2am) and drag myself onto a train that morning, I'm going to be in some awfull state :eek:

    Hahaha I'd say I'll be the same, head home after the debs earlier than the rest for Saturday, I'd like to enjoy myself Saturday like instead trying to stay awake or not to puke xD

    I never went to my Freshers thing. Just the orientation. That said it might be beneficial but not vital.

    Yeah, I'm staying in Farranlea. If you've visited it before what do you think of the place? I've never actually been there. (My friend checked it out for us)

    i went to see it yesterday actually, it's nice enough. we saw the show apartment so it prob was one of the nicer ones. It was like a hallway when you go in the door with a window at the end. there were 6 rooms. 5 bedrooms and one room with a kitchen, table and couches. Do you know your way around cork? anyway, most of the accommodation buildings are close to eachother, and farranlea is about a 10 min walk from UCC.

    Yeah, the show room's meant to be nice :):) I've heard mixed things about Farranlea in regards to damp etc so I'll be taking pictures of my room when I move in. Apart from that it seems okay. No, I don't really, I've been there a few times throughout the years, visited UCC but that's it :pac::pac: Do you?

    Remember you are are only guaranteed your first 3 subject choices so if you want to study one of the more popular subjects don't put it down last - psychology and english seem to fill up first with geography and sociology also popular.

    This is from the first year student guide...


    Note: All students are guaranteed the first, second and third choice of subjects, provided any prerequisites are met.
    Quota restrictions apply in the choice of fourth subject. In the case of the fourth subject, where the number of requests for a particular subject exceeds the quota, then places in that subject will be allocated on the basis of total Leaving Certificate points

    If you want English, put it as your number one, and at a stretch (if it needs be) your number two. That class fills up quickly.

    I think everyone starts (as in the whole college) on the 24th, not 100% on that though :)

    When is everyone moving into their accommodation?

    Yeah, I've read all of the comments about Farranlea, they will not be getting a fortune from me for a broken cup :) I'm from Tipperary so moving to Cork will be a big shock. I have a terrible sense of direction, it seems like a great city though, is it? Thanks, will do!
