wat college ya goin to?..... im goin to dun laoighre college further education 4 a plc in sound engineering :cool:

Burke · 26-06-2004 5:31pm

i'm hopefully going to UL, prob won't coz of a bent biology exam. i want to do sport science. Prob just end up doing arts in UCD like eveyone else.

Suaimhneach · 26-06-2004 5:33pm

1st choice: NUIG Celtic Studies 405
2nd choice: DCU Fiontar 325
3rd choice: UCD Arts 375
4th choice: St. Pats Humanities Degree 405

Probably get 1st or 2nd though. Changed my mind about Fiontar because you can do your third language abinto [from the start]. So it got bumped up in the options. It's a toss up between Celtic studies and Business with Irish. Lets see how the points go.

Burke · 26-06-2004 5:35pm

wot's Fiontar??

SlushPuppie · 26-06-2004 5:47pm

Ballyfermot College of Further Education: computer games design

Fiontar is the irish for entreprenur. Basically a buisness course through Irish with the aim of working in Europe. Looks like a great course. Quite concentrated because so few apply for it. Should be good if I don't get my first choice.

PrecariousNuts · 26-06-2004 7:33pm

Hopefully TCD for either Theoretical Physics or Maths

subway_ie · 27-06-2004 12:06pm

Probably NUIG or UL... still have to decide what course I want to do though.

conZ · 27-06-2004 3:04pm

GMIT - Construction Management.

Barbie_666 · 27-06-2004 7:23pm

NWIFHE - art and design

snoopish · 27-06-2004 7:57pm

Hope to get CS in TCD as well, although I might (very likely) end up repeating maths and physics.

Not trying to be a grammar nazi or anything, but why is it obvious that you're not going to use proper spelling on a message board?

I do not like having to read or interpret as the case may be, the way you write. Bad spelling and grammer can be excused to a certain degree, but txt tlk is not cool. It's not that I'm arrogant, I just like not having to put loads of effort into reading a post.

It is not a silly immature comment to ask for you to make a bit more effort, on our behalf, the people that have to read your posts. Because we certainly have to put effort into understanding yours.

That's silly and immature too you know

Sorry, it just really ticks me off to see how spelling and grammar have gone to the dogs on here. I blame sms!

Oh yeah, just re: your course choice, I know a few people who did sound engineering and there's almost no work in it in Ireland, one of my mates last job was doing sound engineering for a country musician touring around the UK - and yes, he is good and well qualified. Cool thing to study, so long as you're ok with having to leave the country to find work.

2+2=5 · 28-06-2004 2:59pm

ye i plan on leaving the country as soon as i can

I'd really love to do that! I saw it in the prospectus. Looked great. You can do it in irish too. But then, I don't have basic sign language so its no good to me. But looks like a great course. G'luck indeed!

valor · 28-06-2004 6:31pm

Queen's to do Law and Accounting

subway_ie · 28-06-2004 10:15pm

Just changed my CAO application for the 4th time.... still only about 40% sure about it.

Go Computer Science TCD!!! :P

Bullockshaver · 29-06-2004 6:47pm

Physics& Astrophysics Ucc the points were only 435 last year hopefully they wont go over 460-470. Going skiing for the season next year though ski instructing, taking the year out im only just 17. Too young for college

I was thinking about ding something similar (not skiing, but working abroad), since I don't really know what I want to do. Haven't bothered to sort anything out though, so I'm probably on my way into a college course I may despise.

haha, I'm going to a city with three colleges in it. Has to be SOME fun!!

Isn't there 2, max? NUIG and GMIT? Or is Galway off the list already?

Suaimhneach · 30-06-2004 2:19pm

No no, Galway is still first choice. Something about a private college. Well that's what I heard.

Still though, TWO really BIG colleges will suffice.

subway_ie · 30-06-2004 2:21pm

There are loads of "private colleges"... but they're just secondary schools that call themselves colleges. Dunno if you could call GMIT big... anyway, have you ever seen their campus? It's practically in Oranmore. You're right about it being a fun town though... just stay away from CPs when you get here.

Suaimhneach · 30-06-2004 2:26pm

If I knew what they were I'd take your advice on board no problems!

Woop for Galway!!

subway_ie · 30-06-2004 2:27pm

CP's is a cattle mart/"club". And an overpriced one at that. You'll inevitably be drawn there at some point... but try to resist the urge.

Suaimhneach · 30-06-2004 2:33pm

Unless they have a good band and/or good music on, and can serve me a pint of miller, I won't be there.

Woop. I'm all happy.

Yeay for college

There are private colleges as well. Protobelo college dublin springs to mind, as well as the NCI (which was private and is now public) Mostly business courses

Cuba all the way then... we'll have to try to get you off of those pints of Miller though. Euch.

Well yeah... but they're in Dublin. I'm fairly sure there are none in Galway city... maybe there's one, but I've never heard of it.

In fairness none of them are that large, and they don't do great business. Theres afew more around the place and I'm sure galway would have some.

i ntoiced you mentioned Cuba, as in the club on capel st dublin?

Nope - it's the one on Eyre Square in Galway, it's owned by one of the big groups. I don't know if "trendy" is the word, but it's a bit more diverse than your average cattle-mart disco. The website's here.

Dear jesus...poor kid thinks CS is easy...
Half the class dropped out because they found it too hard.
Only half of the remainder passed.

It's programming, dear. No Nintendo, if that's what you expect.

In fairness, all the CAO handbook gives you is a list of course titles and codes. Maybe he can't read the college prospectus - but even they're vague and not very informative.

Seifer · 02-07-2004 6:51pm

Chemical Engineering in UCD.
I just want lots of money. All I need is a great idea that's never been done before and Im set. Any suggestions?

Envy · 06-07-2004 10:33pm

Didn't do too great in the LC, so my first two choices are gone.

It looks like I'll be doing my third choice, Arts in U.C.D. I still have to decide on my subjects. Hmm.

Dublin should be fun, though.

wat college u goin to in september
