I'm looking for Computer Systems, last year it was 300 and I got 420. Despite the fact I'm really nervous things will randomly go pear-shaped (got the wrong paper, points shoot up, nuclear fallout etc.) it looks like I'm coming to UL
.
So excited 0 -

I'd recommend college court for accomodation.
As Kaimera said, College Court is a good place to live and there is still accommodation available in College Court, but it appears to be filling up quite rapidly. Lots of parents with their kids looking around the place lately. If you know you have been accepted, then get in your car, and come down and look around. There are phone numbers in a lot of windows offering free rooms.0 -

Not only the first year....the last 4 years was a blur!Congratulations to all the incoming Freshers! You are all going to have a brilliant four years and, if you all are anything like me, your first year will fly by!
Accommodation only I'd say. Orientation week starts on the 1st of September...clear the week. If your debs is on, skip it!Secoundrow wrote: »Isnt there some kind of thing/tour on for incoming first years on satarday 22nd?
got a letter a few days ago:)
As long as it's not Law and Accounting which fluctuates massively you should be fine....come to think of it...L&A never topped 520, so you'll be grand if that's it.KombuchaMshroom wrote: »First choice was 485 last year, got 530, surely going to UL
Can't wait, staying in Kilmurray
There is NO, I repeat NO shortage of Accommodation. To ensure you don't end up with some blacklisted PITA of a landlord, please, PLEASE go to the Accommodation Office for a list of accommodation.Blondiegirl2009 wrote: »See ye there lads, no accomodation booked yet though:eek: so Im livng in the car for a while basically:pac:

Not unless you want to faff around and get into the auraatmosphere. There will be very little if anything for you to do. There's nothing wrong with faffing around but personally I'd just come down for the days and see if you want to hang around for an extra day. The first week you probably won't want to. Come down the day before or night before, get settled in, do orientation, all happy.alexcorb1991 wrote: »So is there any point going up before the two days of your chosen course?
That's because it is (unfortunately large chunks aren't necessarily designed from the point of view of getting information out, even when the info can be quite good). In other words, it's not you.Thank you so much sceptre.
I find the UL website so complex to navigate.
Ways and means are possible. If everyone misses the bulk of their orientation and doesn't enrol when they're scheduled to, it's a nightmare. It one person does, it's a tiny inconvenience. It's possible that the admin people will be able to shoot you through enrollment in the morning.UNfortunately I'm in the Arts/Humanities department and the Debs is on the actual Thursday.
Oh noooo
The problem will be with your department, course and advisor meetings as they're all scheduled for the afternoon. If it works like former years, that's when they'll be handing out tutorial times as well as the useful but less necessary introductions to faculty and that sort of thing. If you really really want to go, you have the option to either hightail it out at 4 and make your debs wherever that is or skip the afternoon (which ideally you should go to).
Obviously there's the problem of the second day but if you go to your debs you'll miss that anyway. The most important thing you must do during orientation is to enroll. Everything else is highly useful (like the course meeting) or just useful (like the campus tour) but enrolling is essential. If you cover that, you're missing out on other useful stuff but nothing that absolutely locked-in essential (incidentally, a tiny number of people enrol on the "wrong" day every year. As long as it's a tiny tiny number (as in ten or so) it doesn't throw the universe out of kilter).
For the rest of you, I didn't say any of that - if you've not got a debs you reckon is essential to attend then you should go through your entire orientation as it's very important to your future happiness and well-being. But if you have a debs or a funeral or wedding to go to, there are things that can be arranged (and by "things" I basically mean getting someone to sort it the people in the enrollment hall so you can skip the queue if necessary if that's what it takes to get you there).0 -

Sceptre, all those years as a guide and senior guide have paid off. Well done!
To all the incomings, one VITAL piece of information that NO ONE tells you: the photo they take for your ID card during enrolment is the SAME photo that UL will always use for you if you ever need a re-issue or you enrol as a postgrad. Smile cos you're stuck with that image for at least four years.*

Thank you so much for this info.
But to be honest if my Orientation "week" does begin on the Thursday I reckon I will have to give the Debs a skip.
I really do not want to miss any of this stuff and as you say it is super important in order to get into the swing of college life.
I'm not too upset. The Debs is more trouble than it's worth and is only one night. The orientation is the beginning of 4 years!0 -

Ahem!!!
I didn't rain on your parade when you and the lads were organising stuff for orientation week!!!
During orientation week you will be able to try out a number of clubs and societies (mainly clubs as societies are less activity based), go to gigs each night (which will be FREE...yes FREE*)
So I'm doing business so I Should or Should'nt go Tuesday I sense an arguement approaching:D 0 -

Yes, most definitely!
Business has massive numbers every year, so meeting some of your class on the first day will be daunting, but knowing some of them from orientation week ought to make the transition easier.
I know this, as I was in your shoes 4 years ago, and I am still good mates with 4 people I met during my orientation day for BBS.0 -

Well, if u want to meet for a drink, send me a PM during orientation week, and I'll meet up if ya want.
And anybody who is coming as an Access Student, the week prior to orientation week will get to meet me also 0 -
Cant believe this time last year I was going through all this. Everyone worries about knowing nobody in UL but you make friends so easily! Especially when you live on campus We used to wander around our building in thomond making friends with our neighbours its soo fun Cant wait to be back in 3 weeks time! Hope my timetable is nice this year! 0
