I've just completed a Cert in Foundation Studies in Trinity and will be starting a Degree in Law in Oct. Looking forward to getting back.

Soon to be doing theoretical physics, I might see you in one of the computer/internet societies. They sound really fun.

Not really the type of societies you see people at, compsoc's room is full of old computers and netsocs room, well it has a couch.

Anywho I'm doing engineering

do any comp sci students have a life? he he. i know i'm asking for trouble saying that on boards of all places! i'm not much better (worse?) i do economics - but not for much longer thank god.


btw precarious, netsoc is a good society...tis only a yoyo and ya get free webspace and all.

Comp Sci guy's are great. I was going to be one of them. They have a life, they like to party like the rest of us. Your in my faculty btw Crash, incase you didn't know it's an engineering degree you'll be getting.(of sorts)

Crash

BA i thought? then again the actual degrees that you get from trinity are oddly laid out. so what does our faculty do thats interesting then Joe?

I'll be starting maths in trinity in october. PrecariousNuts you'll be in all my classes except one, statistics. Although apparently theoretical physics students can do that if they want.

PrecariousNuts

I'll be in all your classes aswell as my physics ones? Wow this sounds like some year ahead of me.

I was looking at the maths/physics socities too, anyone know whats the story with them? Boston, can you shead any light on the subject?

Lol yeah i know. Its possibly the hardest course in ireland. The first year physics shouldn't be too bad though. Its just an introduction to physics mainly.

im starting mental handicap nursing in october

anyone know anything about student nurses?

...mmm student nurses....

I'm going into third year of my moderatership in Physics. TG no more chem..

Btw 1st year physics is dead handy if you've done phys in school. A lot of it is even LC chem, at least the quantum part is..
Gets a lot more difficult in 2nd yr though. Mighta justa been the papers but 2/3rds of my class failed it. Doesn't add up when you compare with the other subjects in natural sci..

strawberry

Technically a Trinity law and french student.
It's my erasmus year though so in reality I'm studying in Paris. What I've learnt so far: french food is good, the wine is better, the Sc-Po isn't half as fun as Trinity, but yet manages to be twice as snobby

Alway's found the Arts block and the Hamilton a bit souless...that's why i love my office being in the Museum Building. I'd recommend any newbies to trinity just to poke their head into this wonderful altmospheric building...

Aye they are.. the old buildings (and sum of the really new ones) have much more character. Yeah the museum buildin is very nice, though I was never that much impressed by rocks.. :rolleyes:

The creation and assessment of digital spatial modelling techniques for the

Man that's quality.. You should have that as your signature instead of all that Compu-sh**e..

A few of my mates are in math's soc. It good enough if thats your thing. the get guest speakers in and the like. It also gets you access to the unix computers in the math department, if i recall correctly(ask about it) which basically means internet surfing and downloading without being watched. As for physic soc. They seem to do anything remotely related to physics, including designing and building rocket (though they weren't allowed us them)

Btw what out for Prof colmen. Legend of a guy from cavan, no bull****. Best lecturer I had all year. You'll hate and love him in equal messure.

Crash it is a BA but you'll be an engineer. It's complicated. You can become a member of the IEI with it and the like. You do allot of the stuff we would do in computer eng. without as much maths and science, and a damn site more programming and a robitics modual.

pekelly you an engineer or a geography guy. Do yea no Mr graham (red hair).

Yeah I know what u mean bout scarin peeps. People ask me what I'm studying right now I usually say something like "planets" or "lasers", never "molecular orbital theory of homo-nuclear diatomic molecules". People just go pure silent.. It's great sometimes if you really don't wanna talk to someone. Keep it in mind

Never been kicked out, and yea their big ass trinitron monitors, only about ten computers so you might mean another lab I haven't yet found. Those stairs though are a pain.

if you enter the museum building and go up to the left on the stairs and then left again at the landing there is a computer lab in front of you....that's the CEEFS lab! Same place? has about 10 -14 comps....

There'll be loads of stuff on during freshers' week in the day, evening and night.
If it's like last year you'll get a pack from the SU and CSC soon telling you all about freshers' week.

Last year there was a inflatable q-zar game and free pot noodles and Irish independant and bewley's sweatshirts.

In the evening hypontist or something and at night pee-ah-are-tea-why

Economics and Mathematics. Does this mean I'll be doing a lot of walking across campus?

Of course, I'm only going to TCD for the legendary Gamers Society.

Dizz

Comp Sci postgrad/ RA here - feck looks like I''m old man of the forum! lol
Can't beat the pav on a sunny day

PHB

Economics and Mathematics

I hope you're fit
All the economics will be in the arts block
Maths will be all the way across campus
You'll be very much angry if lectures go over time

History and Politics is the way to go!

Poor science people, tough break

Freshers week is gona rock, join loadsa societies and a couple of clubs.
The hist and the phil have cool free stuff, dubes has great parties sometimes, players have bouncy castles and stuff, and all the sports clubs generally have a night out.
Try not to be doing anything that week if you can, so you're free to do all the stuff.
Freshers ball sucks btw, unless you are there with other people you know, all the other nights out are great

meh, its not that hard, you'll find all your hardest courses come from the maths side. And if you have done physics before you will be bored absolutely senceless in lectures for first year.(only good thing u'll have is special rel)

As for netsoc, you have about 0reasons to join if maths/tp/tsm(that includes maths)/science(if doing math)...you'll have all the facilites of matrix and others anyway.

And dave all grown up now that he's no longer a fresher, awww...

and trek'n across campus ain't too bad for that tsm, alot of fresher maths courses are all over the campus, i had quite a few of them in the museum and arts building in first year.


and comp sci is in the engineering faculty? comp sci not have more buildings/offices nearly now with the new building just finishing?

Yep it's in the engineering faculty. We have the same lecturers for something we share a computer lab in the Ham. Mike Brady is junior dean of engineering faculty and head of the comp sci department if I recall correctly. Also in the prospectus last year compsci was under the engineering header.

As for the new building, I didn't think that was going to be for comp sci, thought it was going to be a new research building linked with the sciences.

i've heard a million things about that new building but afaik comp sci have some space in it....

[EDIT]asked some people in this lab ere beside me and they seem to think it is, so guess so, also he ain't head of dept by cs webbie...[/EDIT]

and i'm not sure sharing lecturers would qualify as having to be the same faculty, but head of dept being the junior dean of engineering might alright

From what I remember(looked into comp sci allot last year) it's a recognised engineering degree you get (after jumping through some hoops and two years experience) and also it's under Here, second and third courses.

And It wouldn't surprise me if they had space in the new building.

dubes has great parties... sorry i dunno what that is. shoes spring to mind when i hear the word dubes lol pardon my ignorance im planning on going to everything and joining as much as i can lol, although i probably wont end up going to half of the stuff after signing up, oh well.

Trinity is actually Dublin university. dubes is Dublin University Buisness and Economics Society. Basically Bess heads milling around the place. Didn't join myself. Fresher's ball was on wednesday after freshers week last years and is just an excuse for seniors to score freshers, not that theres anything wrong with that.

freshers ball is usually on the week after freshers week if i recall....

Oh thank god for that! id enjoy that so much more believe me, just wen u said "ball" thats what sprung to mind!
