If you're not living near hand, you check in a day early so you'll be there in time for Monday's events.

CaoimheCweeva · 28-08-2012 11:03pm

For anyone that's going to check in on sunday and is planning on going around the campus and meeting up etc. , I'm pretty short with brown hair and a side-fringe, just in case ye see me before I see you

FreeFallin94 · 28-08-2012 11:04pm

Has everyone been contacted by UCC at this stage? They haven't emailed me or mailed me anything yet and I'm slightly worried! I'm doing Law International and I have no idea about my timetable or orientation week and all that

Only if you're part of the HEAR scheme will you have heard something .. otherwise, I don't think we'll hear anything about our course with timetables etc. until next week

Ah don't worry about it. The only people I know who've been contacted are HEAR applicants and that's because their orientation starts on Monday. The registration dates are up on the UCC site somewhere if you want them?

Nicole. · 28-08-2012 11:15pm

People on DARE have also been contacted because orientation for people on DARE is next week too.

Hahah, okay. Long, long brown hair, and no height at all for me. I'll just 'Caiomhe?' everyone by that description. Hey, we all might bump into each other in the apartments before that anyway!

Just to let u know for those doing history, hope ye are morning people.
Lectures are 9am Monday, Wdnesday and Friday.and 10am another day (wish i had known this)
Unless u love history, I wouldn't bother studying it.
I loved history in school but its uber boring here. I just used leaving cert revision book and passed it.
Hope this helps ye.
Take care and enjoy UCC.

does arts with music count? XD
ill prob be doing italian and computer science (along with music obviously). pity about the lack of choice in arts with music though ( would have loved to do spanish :l )

anyone else doing music with arts? would be cool to know, because i dont know anyone in cork! -.- (from galway)

shane9689 · 29-08-2012 11:37am

pretty sure you can do beginner spanish but they advice that you only do it if your good at languages, which is a load of crap, i started learning spanish on my own..easy peasy
but i did terrible at french in school, i couldnt even say my name haha

shane9689 · 29-08-2012 11:39am

hey everyone, jsut wondering if theres anyone else starting music this year in ucc?
i just got accepted and it would be cool to find out who ill be studying with since i dont know cork at all (from galway)
plus any discussions about ucc music would be welcome here too...

im on the second floor.
bmus has its advantages too, you get a way better special options modules choice. i was told first year music is abit boring but apparently 2nd year is way better because you start getting more choice on what you want to study
i play piano, fiddle and guitar .... piano is my main insturment and you?

rebel girl 15 · 29-08-2012 10:01pm

Nice to see ye meeting up already - when I was in second year, we did regular enough meetups of forum members which was great craic - it meeting for coffee, but not many people drank coffee, so we called it mixed drinks!

Great idea if someone on here would organise it! Fe*k sake, ye are all making me feel old, ye youngins only starting out1

Saracarroll · 29-08-2012 10:24pm

So looking at the time tables, does that mean we start on mon 24th?

It's further away so I'd have a chance of living more independently than if I was going to UCD!
No, I'm from Louth! Moving down to Cork, Auntie left a house there for me so I have rent free accomodation for the 1st year!

I hope so, considering we have to pay over €2000 in 'contribution' fee's :P
