Anyone else get a letter from UCD this morning welcoming us to college? I've just read through the brochure, all this module stuff seems a bit complicated.

I thought I was the only one who struggled to understand it, but I guess it's one of those things that is easy to comprehend once you get your head around it...I hope! I look forward to being able to try two electives from any course; I'll probably be looking to do something to do with French and Chinese.

I can't wait to be getting these registration packs!!!

science too :-D this module craic is so confusing! im 723rd and was told i am nearly a definite for accommodation. . . hopefully we will be getting an email tomorrow :-) can't decide between Merville and Belgrove now I've researched it a bit more. .

See you there! I think I'm going to go for Glenomena, although I'm afraid there won't be any other first years there may end up with Merville/Belgrove though if Glen fills up

Merville all the way! It's where the best parties are.....apparently.

Definitely! 1300 pretty much guarantees a spot

Does anyone from UCD know if all of Merville is renovated or which Belgrove aparetments are renovated? And does anyone on the waiting list know when it shows the amount of people who have dropped off because they didn't get UCD? Thanks for any help

Does anyone here know if all of Merville has been renovated or which of the Belgrove apartments have been renovated? Or does anyone else know when it shows how many people have dropped off the accomodation waiting list who didn't get UCD? Thanks for any help

I emailed them the other day looking for a shneaky tip and apparently all of Merville has been renovated at this stage. Not sure about Belgrove though

And by them I mean UCD, of course

I'm tempted to email them and ask where the RA's will be living this year in Merville and Belgrove... try and get a house as far away from them as possible

Does anyone know the distance from Merville to the arts block? How long will it (roughly) take you to walk?

Has anyone set up their UCD email account yet and signed in? I got an email last night saying to do it after two working days? But then it said all emails from now on would be sent to that so I'm worried il miss the accomodation email?

I'm not a med student but I would think that it's the same for everyone, it was telling us how many modules and electives we would have to pick once we start.

but we don't have to pick anything until we actually arrive at UCD right ?

I set up mine there yesterday, just use your CAO number and date of birth ddmmyy to sign in and get everything set up, the only thing you can't do is start the registration process (that's not available til Thursday) but yeah you can log in anytime you want I'm fairly sure they send the accommodation email to both of your addresses but just to be sure.

I was the same I applied for law and social justice DN600 LSJ but it only showed DN600 law on the offers! I assume I stil had DN600 LSJ but I'm unsure now, does anyone know anything about this?

I applied for DN600LPS and the offer came up as just DN600 also , I'd say that's just how theyre doing it , no big deal

Give yourself 10 minutes, takes slightly less but you'll need it to get in and get to the class itself. Most tutorials are upstairs too

Is everyone heading up for orientation on Tuesday?

Yeah that sounds good, what did you have in mind? Club or pub? Probably easier to get to know people in a pub since it's quiet enough to actually have a conversation :pac:
