REAL COLLEGE

D.R cowboy

OK I see so many stupid thread about points CAO etc, whats done is gone

People should be worried about college life how many times a week do you plan too spend

How much are you hoping to live off? , How many girls are you planning to pull?

What kind of roommates do you want, mad . random crazy etc

Any people who have gone to college have some input is it really like this
well i dont expect IT's to be as mad as university

My friend's boyfriend finished college last year and he managed to get by spending about 14 euro on food a week... Which is exactly what I plan to do. My folks said they'll give me an allowance for food, so if I budget carefully I'll have a TONNE to spend on my alcohol and tobacco habits

I'm also looking forward to living in Dublin where there is proper, frequent and cheap public transport, a tonne of cool places to go to every weekend, not having to wear a uniform every day (comfy clothes w00t!) and being able to actually have a cigarette after class without hiding in the manky toilets.

Also the constant drinking.

Well I get a grant (Or two maybe I think) and I'm still living at home so I should be ok as long as I keep an eye on the pennies. I love my car but that backstard's expensive!

Lol at you too. I've never had to wait more than about 45 minutes for a bus here. Try getting a bus in Limerick. It seems like there's one every few hours. And that's during peak times too.

Well, if both the lads and the women are both planning to pull women, I can see college being much less fun than I remember it ... or more, if you're lucky enough to beat the competition! :pac:

Was it proper and cheap? I get the 78A which comes every 10 minutes at off-peak and 5 or less at peak, but it's still disgusting and overpriced

not bakunin

college life revolves around bus punctuality?

Totally forget actually. Years since I've lived there. Though by all accounts the town I lived in is still just as badly serviced.

Ah to be a 6th yr again...
If you're moving out dont do what I did, drink yourself blind and forget how to get back to your new gaff during freshers wk! Spent 3 hours smoking on a football pitch till sobriety returned somewhat!

Oh God I hate the 76... All the knackers of the 78a, but crammed onto one bus per hour (if you're lucky, the drivers just go whenever they feel like it)

Yea, I go to college in Ballyfermot so I get stuck with both of those buses! The junkies always get on the 78a at the methadone clinic and are around tesco's getting yahoo's and everything milky. Then take all there meth outside the college and puke there ring up everywhere! Great fun!

Tallaght is a great college for social stuff though Metro right outside is great but a bad habid to get into if you keep going :P

man would hate to go to college in ballyfermot

Why? the courses there are great! I'm doing computer games design right now and I think it's great!! There's a rock school, the art's building is across the road and loads of other courses. The area isn't the greatest, but neither is where I live to be honest :rolleyes:

I've been to other college's and this course is the one that I like going to, I don't find myself going "ah not another day with this sh1te again!!" I've done business managment in Tallaght before and hated every second of it, Ichicore college is a bit run down, but it's alright though..

7.

And that song is pathetic......

In other news, I get to live at home, I can see this having it's upsides and downsides. Think I might qualify for a grant, which will be pretty sweet, also might have a job lined up for next year, which will also be pretty sweet.

College will be fun .

History has taught me not to plan things. At the end of the day, something completely uncontrollable will happen. Likely something along the lines of having my legs blown off in a minefield or having to save the human race. The usual crap.

Well I was thinking my social life would be along the same lines of my social life in school. Spending most of my day on the computer, typing inane bull**** for people to read and reply angrily to. It's great craic. No, but seriously. I haven't "socialised" in at least a year. :pac:

I don't imagine myself in too much financial difficulty. I'll be living at home, and seeing as I don't drink etc., I'll have enough money to pay for nothing because I never buy anything either. :pac:

I don't think I'll actively attempt to 'get' women. There's that whole planning thing again.

Iam scare of you, and how you could harm yourself
A few glasses of wine never did anybody any harm

I have been described as "The laziest person [they] know" by a number of people. I think barley and shít scented drug water would only make that worse. :pac:

I am moving away and haven't even began to discuss money!
But like the poster above, I don't think I can plan too much.
It's impossible to know till' I get there.

I don't smoke however and my drinking is bare minimum so hopefully, groceries won't cost an arm and a leg.
I don't plan on going home every weekend either just because of cost.
I'd rather try and find a job!

Does anyone know how the whole cooking thing works out in a house of 8 people?! :eek:

Oh God... that could be messy. How about everybody just cook for themselves? im living with 2 others and i think im just gonna say to them at the begining that im gonna sort my own food out! Everybody likes different things and i can just see me geetting stuck with some idiot who will sit and eat all day long, even though i went halfers in the food bill:p
Not cool

confusticated

You're better off keeping food buying and cooking separate if you can, cos people get very angry very quickly if you borrow their last bit of pasta without asking, or if one person always has to buy the milk...you wouldn't believe how the little things add up and how mad people can get.

Nobody ever buys food in bulk,

Yes I have been christened with that title myself on numerous occasions. Being lazy is just so much easier than doing stuff

Id advise splitting the bill for necessitities eg bread milk loo roll butter etc and make your own dinners if there isnt too many in the house.
