im on the second floor.
bmus has its advantages too, you get a way better special options modules choice. i was told first year music is abit boring but apparently 2nd year is way better because you start getting more choice on what you want to study
i play piano, fiddle and guitar .... piano is my main insturment and you?

Nice to see ye meeting up already - when I was in second year, we did regular enough meetups of forum members which was great craic - it meeting for coffee, but not many people drank coffee, so we called it mixed drinks!

Great idea if someone on here would organise it! Fe*k sake, ye are all making me feel old, ye youngins only starting out1

It's further away so I'd have a chance of living more independently than if I was going to UCD!
No, I'm from Louth! Moving down to Cork, Auntie left a house there for me so I have rent free accomodation for the 1st year!
I hope so, considering we have to pay over €2000 in 'contribution' fee's :P

ill probably be down around the same date id say, to maybe get work and do orientation. we could meet up for the first week or something seeing as we both dont know anyone there. pm me anyways if you wanted to.
