I do take GoT a lil too serious.. But you should definitely give it a chance...

Picasso711 · 11-09-2014 9:59pm

A lil too serious but you should watch it before you dismiss it.

Don't be silly...that's Harry Potter/LotR/Eragon etc. Couldn't sum up the interest in it to be honest

Hello there

For our student card, do we need to bring like a passport picture with us for the card or do they take our picture down there?

Mario95 · 12-09-2014 9:05pm

Does anyone know if it will be possible to pay the €100 of student levy on the registration day, or do I have to pay online?

I doubt it

9bred4 · 12-09-2014 10:05pm

Do we only get a student card when all fees are paid? Regardless of grant?

I saw a guy one year going in with his parents, they waited for him while he got his picture taken and ID printed. Never seen someone so mortified.

Zemuppet · 13-09-2014 12:13am

Why exactly would someone's parents come to registration? Just boogles the mind

banquo · 13-09-2014 12:16am

If someone is bringing their parents, please let me know in advance so I can attend this spectacle.

We'll hire a photographer, pay other people in the queue to cheer.

Zemuppet · 13-09-2014 1:15am

Imagine when they're taking the picture, the mother starts fretting over their child's hair
"Look at your hair, its such a mess. Ok now don't slump your shoulders, keep ur back straight and don't forget to smile for mammy". Que an embrassed teenager and bewildered looks from the staff and students.

this is where you begin to know people... I think parents would only hinder that...

So how's everyone feeling about the whole thing? Nervous excitement is how I would describe how I feel....

Who's heading up today?

Getting a train up soon enough, travelling 5 hours to get there is nerve racking in case I forget anything I need

We do have shops here, you can buy what you forget. Relax, you'll all be fine.

Do many people usually go to the events during orientation week?

I'd say anyone that lives on campus or close by would go, sure why not its a good way to make new friends, and most of the events are free

I did it online anyway. In the 'enter amount' box, I put in the first installment amount + another 100.

9bred4 · 14-09-2014 10:27pm

Flake away bah. Though apparently there was a few in the place but never heard them nor have I seen them since they left.

Ace of Hearts · 15-09-2014 9:39pm

Have a question re. business as an arts subject. I'm just checking the timetable, right, and I've highlighted the business modules. When I view the timetable, there are 2 modules clashing at each time. Am I right to assume that there are 2 different business classes due to high numbers etc.?

thelad95 · 16-09-2014 1:49am

Whay did ye think of the frat party?

zl1whqvjs75cdy · 16-09-2014 8:21am

Alright so which one of ya's made ****e of the new university sign? Come on now.

zef · 16-09-2014 9:03am

Woke up sick today and supposed to have registration this morning to get my student card, pick subjects etc.
I don't fancy the commute with a dodgy stomach, can I do it later in the week even though scheduled for this morning? Thanks.

thelad95 · 16-09-2014 4:25pm

Just a heads up, the second day of orientation is pretty boring.

ALL of orientation is boring :P Except the SU

What are the chances of having roommates who aren't in first year. Because as of right now I have no other roommates yet and the last of orientation begins tomorrow so they'd be here by now?

Living on campus or in a house?

I know anyone who lived in houses in the estates just had random people living with them from any course and any year... on campus didnt seem to have an order but it might do, I'm not sure... also they may come up the first day of college rather than the night before especially if theyre returning to a house theyve lived in the last few years...

9bred4 · 17-09-2014 7:42pm

On campus is where I am.
