Yep, got in at 485 points, the points are 485*. Strange, the 1st round points went up 10 this year when there was a decline in applications for business. Anyway, YAY!

Good someone else doing the course, I was beginning to think I was the only eejit with loads more points than I need!
So, have you any idea what this course is about, cause I haven't got a clue.
Do u become an actuary out of it? If you got 510 you could have done the actuary course in DCU.
I've been on the internet all day looking for a house for me and 3 other lads and no joy yet. Seeing as how ur from Galway, can we live with you?! Any advice on getting accomodation?

Trebor

Hmmm. Don't really have much of a clue here either... something about maths and economics? Supposed to be mainly statistics and probability (which I hate), calculus (which I like) and economicsy stuff (which I don't know anything about).

I think you can go on to actuary... but it takes awhile. You get the general basics, but you've got to do more courses to pass the actual exams (I think it's a bit like the accountants exams?). I could have done it... but that would mean moving to dublin. Which would be bad.

I've been on the internet all day looking for a house for me and 3 other lads and no joy yet. Seeing as how ur from Galway, can we live with you?! Any advice on getting accomodation?

Well, eh, I've got a single bed in an apartment... so, errrr, living with me could get a little weird. Advice for getting accommodation - get down to Galway *early* this Wednesday and queue up for the Galway Advertiser - theres always a *huge* queue for it. Bring a few mobile phones and start rining places straight away - demand is usually huge. Just in case you're tempted - STAY AWAY from Corrib Village. Nasty, nasty place. Unless you're into living in the Irish version of Guantanamo Bay?

STAY AWAY from Corrib Village. Nasty, nasty place. Unless you're into living in the Irish version of Guantanamo Bay?

Or as Bertie calls it 'Gwatayama Bay'...
I second that, I've heard nothing but bad reports about the place.
Try Dun na Coiribe, or Gort na Coiribe they're just up the road from it (opposite Terryland), and ive been inside one of the apartments and its very nice

Pugwash

BESS in trinity. dissoppointed not to get the points for law but I've a feeling that this multi-disciplined course with loads of options is the way to go.

As for the infamous criteria of the typical BESS student who'll fill the majority of the places next year, :rolleyes: the jury's still out..........

I dunno about Tirellan, but you should try Menlo Park Appartments - a bit closer than Dún Aras and not too dear. If you're trying to get a house yourself, then definetly get into Galway tomorrow to pick up a copy of the advertiser and start ringing/viewing/booking places ASAP.

skyhighflyer

Doin' Buisness and Legal in UCD as well. So delighted to get the points (I got 515) I just got a letter in the post explaining how to buy the (mandatory) laptop.. €1250 for the cheapest one...oh well that's what parents are for I guess

Speaking about employment and arts...Has anyone any idea about what professions arts graduates are most employed.

One of my friends told me that quite a few of them become secondary school teacher in the end.

snickerpuss

Yeah i suppose that alot of them would, though i also suppose some go in with the intention of being teachers.
