Hey Guys

I applied for medicine (undergraduate) this year did the hpat all that business and was lucky enough to get a place as a mature student at UCC.

HPAT went well and i have a strong leaving cert so expect to get my first pref at NUIG come mid august.

I'd love to know if anyone has done something like this and how they found the course and the transition back to being a student?

It's a lot to take in and my head's spinning

I'm 30 and a design engineer with a long term girlfriend (she's great about the whole thing)

Thanks!!
