    Hi everyone,
    So here's the story, I want to do law and I want to go to Cork. But I won't get enough points for law in UCC so I'm thinking of goin to Griffith College (have the money too so no worries that way). But I have a few questions if anyone out there could answer them that would be great.
    1) How many people go to college their? Is it mostly older professionals furthering their education or school leavers around 18 or 19?
    2) How big are the class sizes?
    3) Are the hours bad? ie 9 to 5?
    4) Is the degree "irish law" difficult to travel with?
    5) How are the holidays compared to law courses in ucc or other colleges?

    Thanks

    Sorry this is completely off topic but how much does it cost a year to go here until you finish your degree?. I'm guessing it's 4 years still?.

    In your first year at Griffith you will do Tort, Company, Constitutional, Introductionto legal studies, so you will probably have 16 hours of lectures spread over 4 days but you will have to do study each day so if you are not looking to do a course that is 9-5 maybe law isn't for you. The full time classes are usually a mixture of students out of school or in their early 20s, there may be older people but it's nice to have a mixture. The lecturers are great, the classes can be small but that is only a good thing. The first set of exams are after Christmas so you may have shorter holidays, there is no time off around Halloween or Easter as far as I remember. You will have Fridays off in 1st and 2nd year and Thursdays and Fridays off in 3rd year. Any time off should be spent revising, don't fall behind in work. Irish LLB can be converted withfurther study in every Common Law country.
