Living off campus and societies

fkt

Hey,

I'm probably going to end up living a good half hour from the campus as the nightmare of finding accom continues.

What bothers me about this; would it realistically restrict my ability to take part in societies? I mean, what time do these groups usually have meetings? I could just come out to UCD every morning and spend the day there, studying etc when I have spare time so I could make all lectures/meetings without having to go home and back more than once per day. But say, if I had a lecture in the morning and a meeting at night it would be a bit inconvienent.

So, what times to society meetings usually take place? Would it realistically restrict my ability to socialise?

Any advice/experiences appreciated

Hey, a lot of society meetings/events are after 6, unless it's a coffee morning or something. I live an hour and a half away from UCD and doesn't really get in a way of the societies. And we are talking few meetings per week here

As long as you're motivated to participate, you'll be fine!

To be honest after the first few weeks pass you'll find the clubs you want to be interested in. Live beside a good bus route and you'll be golden (unless its the 17).
