Same where are you commuting from?

I meet see you at the Commuter station sometimes.

Hey jenjo I'm starting too doing Social Science can't wait but yeah nervous too. I'm in on the 1st of Sep for Induction because I'm a mature student, are you too? I'm commuting myself from Newbridge you?

L1m1tless

Im coming from newbridge too. :P But I think Ill get a place up there if I can afford it.

pocpaul

Ah cool i'll be driving for the first bit got another guy I know to spilt the cost but hoping to get a carpool going soon. Yeah it will be pricey enough living there id imagine, I'm just going to commute sure its only 35 mins away used to work there and it was grand driving.

L1m1tless

Extra 35 mins in bed! :P Im lazy. Carpool is a good idea especially with the parking permit you need now. i commuted for my degree and some mornings with traffic it took 1hr+ especially coming down over the bridge to the old campus.

pocpaul

I'll just have to figure out the times and that over the first few weeks I suppose, yeah i'll be getting the JJK bus after a while but then again if the carpooling goes well it'll be hard to leave the car at home. Sure time will tell. What course are you doing CowboyDreams?

L1m1tless

the bus doesnt go during exams which is really a pain. Im doing Hdip in IT. Plenty of time off

I have just finished my first year of Social Science in Maynooth. I would recommend choosing a subject that you think you might actually have some interest in . Just incase you don't know you can chose one subject from history, geography, economics, philosophy and antropology.

jenjo

crap, should i know when im meant to be in? ive gotten no info yet :eek:

Last Chance

I haven't heard anything yet about starting. Although i have seen that mature students are suppose to start on the 6th or 7th i seen that on another thread. I'm coming from newbridge and will be getting JJ Kavanagh's Bus does anybody know if they will be running buses on the 6th or 7th.

jenjo

Cant help u there, sorry!

L1m1tless

Relax Guys you'll get it in the post, probably after leaving cert results are out

On the website they say the 12th for first year orientation.

"Monday 12 September to Friday 16 September 2011 - First-Year Registration/Orientation"

Assuming we'll be notified otherwise..?

grangehill

Relax lads you'll be grand, just make sure to find the important spots like the su bar, the roost, mantra and the hidden gem that is the creative arts centre

dr.quirky

for anyone wondering, generally JJK run buses for orientation, cant say for certain this year but im guessing they will. i would say ring them and see to be sure.

+1 for Creative arts centre as an absolute hidden gem

L1m1tless

Been in maynooth for 7 years and first Ive heard of creative arts centre.? saying that you dont see much when you in Logic house for every lecture

LeixlipRed

It's not even open a year so don't worry

Moon Indigo

I'm starting on the 5th and 6th for mature orientation doing community and youth course. If anyone is carpooling from Clane for the two mature dates could they let me know? Thanks!

I think I know you.

Did you go to Colaiste Ciaran?

Daemos

Just in regard the JJ Kavanagh buses, their timetable is up on their website now in case anyone hasn't seen it: http://www.jjkavanagh.ie/en/timetables/print-pdf

And yes, they do run during examinations. It's a different route with less service but it does serve Newbridge

Moon Indigo

Thanks Daemos! Still don't understand why they don't just say Esso station Clane. I assume I just turn up in Clane. That's a great relief won't have to go annoying anyone for a lift! Thanks again!
