Tesco is 24 hour, always good for a midnight wander
no meeting place like dunnes was when it was 24 hr but still...
also, get your photos printed here...cheapest place-if you print 150+ photos they're only 5c each. pretty sure it's the cheapest in maynooth 0 -

SU on mondays-it was €3 drinks all day
shop-wise...tesco, aldi, lidl...the roost off-licence and the mill might be worth checking out too. maybe, i'm not too sure, aldi is where i bought mine-close to campus so didn't have to carry it back so far

Afraid not
You have to go into Dublin first. 16a or 41 to the airport, 3 to Belfield (code for UCD) 0 -

More importantly, cheapest place to buy drink?
You can get the 67a or the 66 to Liffey Valley shopping centre and there is a shuttle bus from there to the airport, that way you're not backtracking. Its called the flybus, departs every hour from the N4 footbridge there at liffey valley.0 -

I'm quite puny. It would indeed be serious craic
You could be their prison b*tch or whatever the rugby version of that is
Accommodation
Kingsbry, Meadowbrook, Beaufield, anywhere with the word 'Newtown' in it is quite the walk for a nine o'clock lecture. Houses are grand but not great. Rent is reasonable enough, should be definitely less than €90/week. A house in Griffin Rath Hall/Manor would also be far enough as well as Maynooth Hall but these houses are very new, less than 3 years old. On-campus is quite expensive but I believe it's a good meeting ground for first years. Old Greenfield is about as rough as you can get and it's not even that bad. House typically hold 5 people so be awful careful if you see a house in Kingsbry that holds 7, I made that mistake and it was so cramped because those houses are teency. Make sure you're on an official registered list of tenants in case things go belly up with your landlord, just have your bases covered. That's all I can proffer for now, other people's 2 cents can be deposited below

Do you need to play rugby for a club to give it a go in the collage?, cause ive not played for years
No you don't. There are 3 teams; 1sts, 2nds and Freshers. The 1st team would be all club players and play in division 1, the 2nds would be a lot of people like yourself and beginners with a few experienced heads thrown in and they play in Division 2 and finally freshers are first years so it just depends on that year but generally there's a good mix of beginners and club players, the freshers have reached the all ireland final 3 years in a row and lost (Waterford and Carlow are the big teams).
Training is every Monday at 6 (on the Astro turf) and matches usually kick off at about 2 on Wednesday (matches don't take place every week). Even on the first Monday of college there should be some form of training (last year it was strip tip) on the Monday so check it out. 0 -

Hey i'm heading into 3rd year accounting & finance. does anyone know if 2nd counts towards my degree? or is it just your 3rd year marks?
Thanks!!!:):)
There is only 1 rule about the split between 2nd/3rd year marks when it comes to your final degree mark, but it does not apply to all courses. It's basically a) optional split, or b) just 3rd marks count for your degree.
You can CHOOSE to split your marks 30% 2nd year to 70% 3rd year if your marks in 2nd year are better. Or you can go 100% 3rd year.
