    hey Im going to the hear scheme orientation week aswell.
    Alot of the information is on accesstocollege.ie and here is the benefits to the hear scheme

    Examples of the type of supports available include:

    Orientation programmes to introduce students to university or college
    Extra tuition if needed
    Help with study skills and exam preparation
    One-to-one meetings with student advisors,
    Social gatherings,
    Mentoring
    Advice about grants and scholarships
    Bursaries when available.

    Other then that I think the orientation week would be good for meeting people on your course and a general introduction into college.

    Hey,
    I'm in 3rd year and part off UCC+ and the info jdhayes93 put up is spot on. Throughout the year you'll have to do workshops that help with essay writing skills and study skills. You'll get a achance to meet students from other years and ask them questions. You can borrow laptops and buy USB keys for a cheaper price. You'll have access to the UCC+ resource room, it has computers and printing facilities. Hope that helps
