    Just to let you know, NCI doesn't have a campus as such like DCU or UCD. Its in the IFSC so as you would imagine there would be no space for a campus. Its is a small college.

    @arleitiss: There is a computer games and karting society, so you should sign up for them. I don't think there is a 3D modelly or photography society but you could always start one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,902 ✭✭✭MagicIRL


    I'm going there myself to do NC003 come Sept. Looking foward to it. As for all the things to do and join, I guess I'll wait and see :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14 Haunted Negativity


    BSc Computing (NC003) in September myself. Looking forward to it, hopefully all goes well!.

    First year is great. Loads of activities and events to do. Just make sure you make friends quick, so you know a few for freshers week. Which is the week after you's will start.

    You'll love the timetable. First semesters was good, then semester two was great. We all got Wednesday's off. It's a great college overall.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,902 ✭✭✭MagicIRL


    All us creepy boardsies joining NC003 better be friends... or you're going on my ignore list.

    Another one for NC003 over here haha.

    Why do I get the feeling it's going to be a major sausagefest.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,866 ✭✭✭Adam


    well i was at mature student induction day a couple of weeks ago and it was probably 60/40 males to females, but you should consider the fact that boards population is mostly male, so you're less likely to hear from the females on the forum....it probably will be though! :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,902 ✭✭✭MagicIRL


    Last one in has to wear the dress...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,515 ✭✭✭arleitiss


    Luckily I am starting this course with my friend. Other than that: We should all wear name tags with our boards nicknames.

    I assume it will be taken there on cam and printed onto card. I did my registration online no forms were required.

    Computer classes usually are sausage fests. HRM is were it is at at least 70 to 30 per cent ratio of women to men

    Yeah she was nervous today. First we hardly found registration, then had no idea what they are gonna ask. We both are non-native English speakers. So during some important cases or things to do we are quite often nervous worrying that people can ask something that we wont understand.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,866 ✭✭✭Adam

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,515 ✭✭✭arleitiss


    Well damn this was pretty great day, didn't expect it to be that good to be honest. Quite fun. I was in B2 group. Anyone else?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,902 ✭✭✭MagicIRL


    1 B myself, I think. Stephen B, so maybe it was sorted some alphabetical way?

    Don't think it was alphabetical.
    I am Artur L. Yet I was in group with totally different surnames and names. I think it was random or so.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,866 ✭✭✭Adam


    It was indeed alphabetical, I was 2A. Good day, roll on Monday morning Programming! :P
