Heading into my final few months as a student of UCC and I'll miss it terribly.
Take it all in 1st years. It's a terrific place. PM for advice, tips, concerns and I'll be happy to help out. BA in Arts and MA in History (fingers crossed on the last one
) 0 -

and also wondering will we be getting book lists with it ?
Likely you won't receive book lists. Nominally the lecturers tell you what course book you need. In some cases, you won't even need books.
If you do need them, I recommend checking out the student union book shop or John Smith's second hand section. Failing that, have a look online on Amazon.co.uk/.com. You'll likely save a lot of money.0 -

Heading into my 4th year of college in UCC and this is probably my first time even looking at this forum.
Can't wait for college to be back, even if I will have to face crappy Irish weather after 6 months away
My advice to all ye freshers is to get involved in some societies early, some of them are a great laugh and really do enhance the college experience.
I waited until 2nd year before I even became part of E&S's(Entrepreneurial and Social, UCC's biggest society), promo team and I instantly regretted not doing something in 1st year.
If any of ye have any questions feel free to PM or whatever.
what im worried about, is joining societies and then showing up knowing no one haha.. i mean do they make it easy for new comers like me? or do i have to somehow get to know afew people first before showing up XD haha0 -

Well I'm the same and I still got to know people! Sure if you get to know a few people in your class first, and ask them if they'd like to go with you, the worst they can say is no!, most people would be glad to get to know more people and get involved in a few societies!im not a shy person but im terrible at introductions (my weakpoint).
yeah i cant bring a friend because i have no friends..no but really, i dont have freinds because i dont know anyone in cork, im gonig to moving there (im from galway)
yeah i suppose be there early is the best thing. thanks
It's easy to talk to people in your class at the start, everyone is in the same boat and nobody knows each other, just sit beside someone and introduce yourself, both you and them will be glad you did!
I moved down from Laois and knew a few people and one in my class, but I still had to get to know the others. I think you're nearly better off if you don't know anyone because then you don't just sit with them the whole time and never meet anyone else! I wouldn't be that chatty or extroverted but if you make any effort at all to talk to people you'll be grand!! 0 -
I'm rather socially awkward but still turned up to a good few society events including a group trip in one of the societies that I had never attended previously (admittedly that was slightly awkward initially). :pac: If a ucc boardsie meetup is properly arranged this year, you can get to know a few boards members that will probably attend one or two of the societies you're interested in.im not a shy person but im terrible at introductions (my weakpoint).

What's the "MS for the Autumn repeats"? In any case, I don't think it's cheeky or rude at all. Maybe the maths department is different, but I've always found staff extremely easy to deal with and always willing to help. 0
