Hi, I will be doing this course next year so I was just wondering what topics you covered in first semester? I know it shows it on the AIT website (Learning to Learn, Mathematics for Sport and Health, Human Physiology 1, Chemistry, Physical Activity and Health, Introduction to Food as Medicine) but it is not really detailed..

Hi, I'm living in wellmount too and also studying sports therapy with rehabilitation!

zoeenya

Noobody doing social studies????

hester360

not in glenn aibhainn im afraid!| in croi oige! im doing business (al850), heading up the weekend before orientation.

MarkNealon

I made a thread for first years in general to talk in if you want to take a look, no ones posted yet though but maybe you guys know something about freshers week?

hester360

Induction is the 10/11 you might find out there?? i'm starting fresh too so i don't honestly know.

MarkNealon

Thanks, I haven't even got my induction package in the post yet. How about you?

hester360

really? i got mine friday, I emailed last week and they told me they would post them on the 26th, if you haven't got it i'd ring asap!

MarkNealon

I thought mine was late! I'll give them a ring tomorrow, thanks!

hester360

good plan, when are you moving up?

MarkNealon

I''ll be moving up on the 6th so I can settle in, check out the campus/ town and get to know the roomates and all of that before induction. How about you?

hester360

Myself and a mate im sharing with, were moving up on the 8th! the town is easy to get around, trust me you'll have it sussed in no time!

MarkNealon

Cool, I lived in london till I was 14 so athlone should be easy enough to figure out like you said :P What course are you studying btw?

hester360

the business degree one i deferred a place from last year. so im just eager to get going! you're doing sports therapy aren't you?

MarkNealon

Sounds good! Yeah, sports therapy with rehabilitation, really looking forward to it! nervous at the same time though since I don't know any one at all in athlone :P

hester360

I know like two already there and only 4 or 5 starting this year that's about it. it's good people are getting together on this as well!

MarkNealon

Yeah that's the reason I made an account here, my friend in UCD has a massive forum of first years and older students giving advice and all the first years from the forum have organised a meet up during induction

hester360

It said in the induction pack that lectures start on the thursday after registration though, pain in the ass. yeah we should definatley plan something!

MarkNealon

Yeah lectures start immediately after induction. Yeah that'd be good! Just a chance to meet other freshers

Willow, not ideal but wasn't much choice when I was booking

Yeah thats what i'm doing. I think I'll probably move onto the software dev route in the second year (you have a choice between the two at the end of year one), but we'll wait and see.

kornalelly

Hi, I'v health science with nutrition down as no.1 on cao, do u like the course? Is it worth doing? Still unsure. Thanks

Madgek85

I'm studying culinary arts too but I'm a ' mature student'!! Any one else in the same boat, love to get prepared I know packs are coming out next week some time! I'm driving up everyday

karina19

im not a mature student but I am wondering when we will get those registration packs. I just need to know all the details so I can try and get the registration fee together. I should get a grant tho to pay the actual tuition does anyone know how that works by any chance ?
ps im starting the veterinary nursing course

Madgek85

I asked today and they said usually third week in august which I think is kinda late to be posting out! Not certain about grant still waiting to hear back on mine too!!

karina19

3rd week in august ??? yeh that's v late but thanx the grant is so confusing

Madgek85

Ya I know :-( could be another good few weeks before ya here from susi!! Checking every day see if anything on site! Best of luck with your course :-)

karina19

yeh me too thanx soo much you too
