    A slab of beer/bottle of Vodka. Apparently an important scientific topic is the interaction between ethanol and the liver:D. Maybe that is where I went wrong:rolleyes:

    If you can afford a laptop it'd be a good buy. A good memory key would be important as well.


  • Registered Users Posts: 357 ✭✭cozzie55


    If you are buying a laptop buy a good one. Don't buy the cheapest one on the shelf remember it has to do you 4 years. Expensive doesn't necessarily mean good other. I remember Dell did an offer for students when i was in first year and most of the laptops had broken by the end of the year.

    Speaking from experience buy a mac if you can afford one. Got mine in america for €800 when they were selling them for €1200 here. Chances are you'll never get a virus and they are really easy to use. Just don't get the apple word processing package with it get microsoft word. It'll save you a lot of hassle cause the lectures use MS word.

    Then again I may be biased cause I love my mac and anyone who uses it says its far better than any other laptop. ;)

    A refil pad and a few pens possibly a highlighter will do for most of the year. You can borrow most of the books you need from the library esp if your in arts cause they need far more books than most other faculties.;)

    A laptop would come in handy, but is not a necessity esp at the start of the year


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,659 ✭✭✭unknown13


    Clothes since there is no uniform in College.

    leinster rugby is really a bad troll. he got expelled from school during the summer and is now off the college, some man.


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,095 ✭✭✭✭Gael23


    All I have so far is basic stuff for my rom, buying food and all that tomorrow.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,660 ✭✭✭SDTimeout


    He has another account called ploughingdaily and he tries to troll but from a rural point of view.

    I don't think I need a laptop because I be home in the evenings so i can use the home one.


  • Registered Users Posts: 337 ✭✭BlueNemo


    I've bought new clothes and a small table mirror. I swear I'm not that vain, I had everything else already :rolleyes:

    Bloody hell, are you serious? That's a lot of money.

    Anywho, all I've bought are some re-fill pads and I'm looking for a decent laptop. Oh, and a bag.:)

    i recommend a Macbook anyway, i think they are the perfect laptop for college basic computing. The price is slightly high for a student, but it will last you for your full degree, rather than buying a new laptop each year. :)

    I agree completely and i'm pretty sure there are student deals on the apple website too. i bought one 3 months back and i can assure you they're worth the money!
