College Info

Bah

Has anybody started to get info from their college after they accepted their offers? Registration dates/info, all that kind of stuff. They're supposed to be posted out, just wondering if anybody's actualy started to get it yet.

Jammer

check out the college website. Maynooth NUI has their Registration handbook for download, i'd assume most other colleges would be the same!

But to answer your question, i haven't recieved anything through post either!

Those of you off to UCD....

Jammer

Nietzschean

i don't remember anything usefull comming off tcd peroid, ya show up on freshers week, ye learn everything then(tho u should have a course orientation lecture that week...)

PrecariousNuts

Nothing from trinity for me either

Lantis

Nothing from DCU for me. It's all on their site, but it's still nice to have the info pack in hardcopy.

Do the packs have booklists or d'you need to wait till freshers week to get them?

gnu

Haven't heard a thing from RCSI, they keep their info to themselves like a closely guarded secret


... tell a lie, they sent me an out of date handbook for medicine (even though I'm doing pharmacy), but no info on dates or anything remotely usefull

Yeah I'd like them to send something out early so I can take my time buying books and actually be prepared. I don't want to have to scramble at the last minute searching for books and finding out that shops have sold out. I've heard that colleges sell their books at prices way higher than everywhere else, I want to get a good deal.

I don't think you've usually got to buy very many books... college library usually has most of what you'd need. They change so often it can be hard to sell them afterwards, so you'll probably be better off waiting a few weeks to know for sure what you *have* to buy.

Heard nothin from ucd for me.
Their website isnt great either.

Suaimhneach

Yup, nothing for me. But tis a new week tomorrow, I'd say most stuff will be sent out then.

Sounds alot more exciting than what I got in the post today... just a load of junkmail. Still no sign of any NUIG info.

Meh, UCD are like that. Because I repeated my exams, my registration stuff probably wont come before the start of term. Wonderful. Raise hell with Admin about your stuff. They really are that damn stupid sometimes. They wouldnt give me a copy of the new faculty booklet last week and I wanted one because I still havent decided what the hell I'm doing for 3rd year!

CuLT

Aye, got my DCU pack today... and I'll be joining a society that isn't even listed yet! fwahahaha!

I must say, they don't let you potter about too long before they want the cashola . Don't be mislead by the 15th, you need to give 5 working days, ie, needs to be payed tomorrow (10th) if you don't want to incur late fees.

The only Socs we will have in common JeseJes, will be redbrick.

Smellyirishman

Ye got the DCU pack, God dammbit I cant get my bar club card!!

Placebo

Astronomy
Gamers (maybe)

Ah, sure, we're all bound to meet up at some stage.

Also, which fees are these? I mean, the registration ones are rostered in on the time sheet that was in the registration pack. Or are you talking about the ones yuo gotta pay if you don't get a grant?

Also, which society?
