    Woo, can't wait to join that! Is it more expensive than the normal rates? I think they're about €250-300

    I think it was around €150 if I'm remembering correctly, could have been €200 but still cheaper than the normal rates, which is great.

    Starting Electronic Engineering in CIT September, moving down from Waterford. I'll be driving down on Sunday evenings and returning on Fridays. I would be willing to accept passengers in exchange for a few pound towards the petrol. PM me if you are interested.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,673 ✭✭✭mahamageehad

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 591 ✭✭✭Avox

    I've been in Cork for the last few years anyway.. not looking forward to the bus out from town every morning tho, apparently the number 5 isn't that reliable.

    Yeah my brother lives in the city and works out past CIT and says it sometimes doesn't show up on time! Suppose in the mornings it'd be grand though, you never know! :) I'm moving up around the 3rd September, can't wait now.. :) The first thing I'm gonna do is go get KC's (everyone recommends it :p)

    Haha sorta, not really though! :D You get orientation talks, meet with your class, get your timetables etc too.. There'll be like games and stuff in college too to help you make new friends and stuff! :D Other than that it's basically going out every night though (the best way to make friends like :P)

    Got an invite for an open day 28th and 29th Aug for the mature students, prob to show us where they keep the walking sticks and zimmer frames etc... And a prep Maths class on the 7th of Sept. Dont know when we actually start classes and stuff though.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,111 ✭✭✭Jesus Juice


    I am doing Web Development! Can't wait to get down there. Can anyone tell me, is the housing estates around the college rough? I know nothing about Cork!

    Freshers week from previous experience(ex WIT & DIT student:rolleyes:) will prob be the week beginning the 17th or 24th of sept I'd say. The week commencing the 10th of sept is just induction/orientation so I would be suprised if freshers was that week;)

    Going to move down to Cork on the 7th or 8th of sept I'd say. Can't wait to move down at this stage:D
