    you could get the 46 or 84 and ask the driver the let you off at donnybrook bus garage. About a 10 minute walk from there down anglesey road

    actually the 84 seems to turn right at donnybrook church and go down anglesea road past the RDS according to this http://www.dublinbus.ie/en/Your-Journey1/Timetables/All-Timetables/84/

    so that would save you a walk but they don't go that often so more likely you'll see a 46 first

    Go to NUIM's table for USB sticks

    +1. They've come in so handy.


    Personnally I went to the few that pop up during the year, but don't bother, just go to one, I used one probably and then the others I just left after an hour.

    I got the usual free pen from UCD Quinn School of Business, and the USB stick from NUI Maynooth. As well as the bags of course ^^
    Was a great day. The engineering talk was quite good as well.
    What did you all think of it?

    Yeah I think I got to the Shelbourne Hall too late!
    I thought it was really good. The people at UCD were the most helpful, I thought.

    Some schools don't even have uniforms, of course you don't have to :rolleyes:

    Just make sure you have your tickets or get them off your guidance teachers

    Last year the majority of people there were just in normal clothes...

    I don't think its true if it was what about the schools that don't have uniforms?

    We were there today without uniform although most did seem to be in their uniform.
    Had a good day, found out lots of info and I think I pretty much settled on a course after today. With the exeption of a newspaper didnt see any free stuff.
