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....

Funky

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

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.

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.

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.

Hell no, its not that type of ball. I think last years one was in the pod or some place like that. And no date required.

Chick

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

Tho with the trinity ball it was always formal wear for the ball and the ball is not held anywhere outside of Trinity, but always on campus in those lovely big white tents

Not really. from reading the blurb at that link sounds like allot of faculties will be making use of the building and facilities. Most notable TP.

Speaking of TP drop out rate was 20% by christmas in first year, last year.

They say that every year. But there was some insurance issues last year due to some assholes locking a guy in a portoloo the year before, and knocking it over with yer man inside.

you's sound like the advanced materials lot when ye bring up sniam...

it say 3,500sq m of it is for neuroscience, not it all. And of that 3,500sq m as a fresher u get to use none...its for research, so postgrads and staff only
