    Hey guys, don't worry about reading anything beforehand. Geography in college is a lot different in school and so no previous knowledge is assumed, just go in, enjoy the fabulous Geography lectures, you'll find some boring, a lot interesting, some difficult and most fairly understandable.

    As far as I remember, and it may have changed, the first lecture in Geography is all about the history of geography as a discipline which is quite daunting and intense. Don't worry, you won't revisit it again til third year, where you will start from scratch again!

    The only thing I can suggest is just keep up on current affairs, not essential, but definitely beneficial to some of the topics that you will cover!

    I took up Geography through Science when I was in first year, having not done it for the Leaving Cert. They really don't assume any knowledge past Junior Cert, I was at no disadvantage whatsoever.
    Ah, those introductory lectures... In my first-day-of-first-year excitement I dutifully scribbled down absolutely everything from the first Geography lecture, and then found out that it was just for general interest! Oops. So just enjoy them, I was so busy writing I couldn't listen properly (does that make any sense?!)
