Do students normally stay for the entire orientation week or just go to the day of their course orientation???

mayo_lad

you dont have to be in college any day but the day when your course orientation day but it's worth haning around limerick for the night life that week also it is handy to find out the layout of the college over the week by your self

skeleton_boy

Heading down Monday evening myself. Should be a good week

Sophsxxx

Heading down Sunday and going to see what happens. I'd say i'll stay until Mon/Tues to get used to it and then come back to galway until Thursday evening!

Just wondering would not being 18 til the 10th Sept mean that I mightn't be able to go to some events?
I know my friend couldn't go to most things at her freshers week because she was still 17!

The rest of the year will make up for it one way or another, i'm sure there will be equally as decent stuff on

Last year the lodge accepted student ID as proof of age for the first few weeks. Whether they'll do that this year i don't know as i know they got in quite a bit of trouble last year for it.

Mallox

haha go on the lodge .. legends .. im movin down sunday evenin to elm park, anyone else there???

pkeane

Moved my stuff down today.. still a bit to do before i head down for good..
probably be down on wednesday and walk around campus then oreintation on thursday.. not bad..

ive enrolled online already.. can we go into the college earlier than oreintation adn finalize all that?

Gael23

Do we not get our timetables until orientation? Theres a link on the UL website that says first year timetables but it goes nowhere.

You wont be able to get your personal timetable until you get your ID number and even then it wont be for definite as a lot of tutorials get changed around. You cna check your course timetable if you wish but it'll have all the modules and tutorials available to the course on it so it's a bit pointless

ynwa_17

I really wouldn't worry too much about your age. I know people that only turned 18 in April/May and June and they still got in most places on a student ID.

Do you not have an ID that 'looks' like you :P

Seloth

Dude thats oging to be everynight((Said the idealistic new student XD)).I have my grads/debs thingie the 31st so I'm heaidn home in the morning and then baCK

ynwa_17

I wouldn't worry too much. Theres quite a lot of people in the same boat. Wednesday and Thursday are where they really pick up. That said, every night from Tomorrow onwards the Lodge will be jointed.

Seloth

Im guessin the lodge is the local Pub?

ynwa_17

The local nightclub. Its about a 5 minute walk from UL. Trust me you'll get to know it very well in due course. I hated it for the first month or so because it was packed and run down but you grow to love the place.

bazkennedy

every student has a love hate relationship with the lodge

No my misinformed friend, the Lodge is the local SLODGE! You'll understand by the end of the week!

ENJOY!

dont worry all the lodge or mollys ask for is your student id for the su gig's you'll need another form of id tho . the stables only ask for your student id as long a you have the club sticker for it (you can get one in the su fairly handy like )

It's only gonna be a DJ set, same as last time he was here, no ACTUALY performance. Therefore, €20=robbery

Mollys aaaaaaaaaaaalways want a 2nd form of ID if you've a first year ID card. Trust me. Lodge started asking for age this year. Just get a sticker off someone who already has theirs and that'll do for the lodge.

Students Union

And you have to be 18 to get the sticker from reception

there are ways of acquiring one if your under 18 all you need is a friend that's over 18

Baaalls...them robbing us poor students. Well I wont be going to that then at any rate

That particularly unpleasant doorman at mollys has often asked me for 4 forms of ID- I told him where to go with it

:O now I've never heard of them being THAT bad!!

snazzy

The Calvin Harris tickets are 15euro and Trooms riiipp students off anyway particularly during Fresher´s Week.
I got one because a/ It´s Calvin Harris. Performance or not, I want his babies b/ Obviously going to play some decent tunes, c/ Trooms would be charging a tenner regardless and at least, on the Thursday night of Fresher´s Week, I know I´m going to get in somewhere and not waste my time going to Molly´s, queuing for Angel Lane and ending up in Trooms anyway.

Just my ole logic on it
Can´t freakin wait.
Have been abroad since June 23rd so to come home on Saturday and then to UL on Sunday for a great epic week is getting me by!

garv123

which clubs do students go to? is it the one ye have mentioned near the college or do they go into limerick itself?

skeleton_boy

Near the college there's the lodge. That's awesome and where you'll end up going more than 50% of the time.
All the other clubs are in town then.

but your student ID has your date of birth on it?

Anyone know how they react to cancelled passports? I've made thirty or forty in my time so i've kinda gotten the hang of faking passports at this stage:D

And i've an NUIG college card that looks like me.....except its nuig...will the likes of the lodge accecpt a college card from another college or do offers and the likes only apply to the UL students?

....god I hate learning each clubs different policies/offers all over again....
