Starting at IADT

dstev22

I got accepted to do AVMT in the college and I'm wondering when do we recieve more information about when we actually start, what we'll need etc.? Also, looking for FUN people to possibly share accomodation with !

I'm also starting, excited but nervous about it as I know no one! :P oh well, we'll all make friends soon. *hopefully*
Looking for accommodation too, need to get it quick!

Nippleh

what happens during induction week

dstev22

apparently you just register and get shown around the college.. pretty much a doss

Jesus Christ! the 10th!? , man that is early .. got to sort a house out asap!

dstev22

exactly the thought i had earlier ! haha spent aaaaaall day looking !

Calcifer88

O how I envy those cushy bastards who live up there and just commute!:mad:

dstev22

i dont mind, im glad to be getting away from my town if im hoest !

Calcifer88

O I very much feel the same way, ..although:rolleyes: I wish I could live up there for free!:D

Hey guys!

So I'll try to address some of the questions in this thread.

1. All info on registering is in the post and on the way to you as far as I know!
   
2. Induction week starts Monday the 10th, and Fresher's week (the more important one!) starts Monday the 24th.
   Induction week is where you meet your lecturers, find out your classes and timetable, the plan for the year, the services in IADT, the tour of the campus etc.
   Fresher's week is the 'social' week - parties, gigs, events, free stuff. It's all very top secret right now.. but you'll find out all the details soon enough.
   
3. Accommodation: check out Daft.ie for places around Dun Laoghaire. We also have a FB page where people post when they're looking for people to share with http://www.facebook.com/iadtaccomodation
   
4. Don't forget to search for more than just Dun Laoghaire. The Dun Laoghaire township area is huge - all the towns around IADT kind of mold together so they're some times named differently. For example within 100metres of the IADT campus the house could be listed as being in Dun Laoghaire, Monkstown, Ballybrack, Killiney, Deansgrange, Cabinteely, Sallynoggin, Blackrock, Glenageary.. the list is endless! Just make sure it's within walking distance or on the bus route - Dublin Bus: 84/145/45 - and most preferably the 46a & 75 (leaves you right outside the college gate!). GoogleMaps is a handy tool to gauge distances and routes to the college!
   
5. I commute from home every day - would much prefer to move out. Count yourselves lucky!!

Hope this helps, if there's anything else just give me a shout!

about how many girls do model making and digital effects dl046 im going to do it and i dont want to be the only girl there coz i know it has alot to do with computers and video games an stuff like that i hope at least half the class is girls can someone reply soon tnx

Calcifer88

I'm a guy, but hey your the second person I've come across on here that's doing the course! yay!:D

..but from what I have gathered it's always very mixed, if you find the model making year groups on facebook you can see that every year there are always a bunch of girls doing it.

Hello, how many hours were the lectures per day/week did you have any days off , and could you tell me what kind of projects you were asked to do within the first year of the course?
