I just decided to make a thread for first years like last years (http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056731556)

Anyway, where is everyone staying this year?

CZ 453

Has everyone received their info for registration from the college already?

Don't be. You'll be fine. I was through it but never sat exams because of being out sick. I know what's involved. I would say try your best to stay on top of your reading and workload. Familiarise yourself with the Law section in the Boole. Drop me a shout on this if you like or if your stuck with anything.

I'm also a mature student starting Computer Science. What subjects did you pick to make up the 10 credits.
I completed the Registration 1 last week. Does anything happen now or must i just turn up on Tuesday with the emails i got?
I think I'll make you look young as I'll be the oldest in the class. lol

I picked the two 5 credit courses - Calculus and Introduction to Analysis were their titles I believe. Now we just turn up with the young 'uns on Tuesday for orientation and registration part 2.

At the risk of turning it into a willy-waving contest, you'd need to be over 50 to make me look young

Starting evening law also. Terrified :eek: mid twenties and working full time so it'll be tough enough I'd imagine.

And you'll be grand too. Evening law has 7 hours of lectures for 4 subjects or 40 credits while full time law has 11 hours for 6 subjects or 60 credits.

Take a look at the book of modules here to see what is covered and what is involved-http://www.ucc.ie/modules/descriptions/LW.html

Thanks. I'm pretty sussed with the modules, total nerd I'm not too worried, already did a degree straight out of school but feeling so old (at 25!) compared to some students I see around.

Nope, Monday 16th.
