    *shamelessly copied from DCU forum* ;)

    Hey, I'm heading into first year in NUIG and moving to Galway. :)
    Just wondering if anyone is up for an aul meetup and beers before lectures start.

    I was thinking the Saturday evening/night before orientation in the college bar but of course am open to suggestions for the date/venue.

    Might be a bit of craic, especially for those who are coming to Galway and not knowing many people there! Shur post here if ye're up for it! :cool:

    EDIT: People who said they are/might be going

    Okay, so far we have:

    -NuckyT
    -Camilo
    -Eugers
    -MeganM
    -Nailz
    -Eoin MurMur
    -buzyliz
    -totothejuggler
    -Bee2011
    -workingstudent

    And possibly paperpackages depending on if the night is changed.
    and Squeeonline perving in the corner!

    Nice one, I'll be up for that! How about Friday the 9th, I would reckon that'll be less hectic than the 10th?

    Actually this wouldn't be a bad idea because the orientation is on the Saturday (I thought it was on Sunday :o ).

    I'd say most people would be around the Friday night so! :)

    Cool! So what about the venue? You suggested the college bar? Would it be open before the start of the term?

    Yup. It's open all year round! I suppose it would be a good place to start and then move on into town! :p

    I has suggestion! though it's a bit bizzare :P there's a big anual charity zombie walk up through town that night and every one dressed as a zombie gets into one of the clubs for free. Could be either very interesting or a total disaster :rolleyes:

    That's sounds ideal! Good to know the college bar is open all year, could be a lifesaver for those who miss the college term too much. I wouldn't have known, as a man who's home address is 3 and a half hours away and has only been to Galway 3 times before this month I think you can forgive me that. ;)

    I must say, that is an awesome suggestion! I'd consider this one; only imaginable failure is that I can't see a massive percentage of people on here doing it, which would be a shame because it sounds gnarley. :)

    Exactly! I know nobody in NUIG, I only know two lads who'll be going to GMIT so I'll hardly ever see them, also mind that home is 4 hours away. Believe me, he's not the only one there by himself — I'll clarify as well, I know nobody in the NUIG board either... ;)

    In fairness though, I find meeting people that I only know from the Internet a bit... Weird. I bet it would be awkward as fuck.

    Nah, Not yet. I'll probably go for the usual 4 though: Maths, Physics, Chemistry and Biology because you're eligible for more subjects in 2nd year with those.
