    1st choice in mine .. Financial mathematics


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26 Username44

    Law Plus is meant to be a really good coarse!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 621 ✭✭✭if832uspx4eogt


    I have Arts, Applied Languages and European Studies down, I'm leaning towards the latter because it combines a bit of european study, law, sociology and then the languages. Plus the points are relatively low (375) compared to Applied languages and Arts (around 440)

    UL is my first chice and then have 3 more UL courses down too :) has anyone booked accomadation?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29 johnnysgot123


    all i know is accomadation is refundable! and it could cost either 90 in a house on campus or 130 per week in apartments in the student block - with the apartment you have your own room and own bathroom asweel, a speaker came to our school and said to book aroujnd end of feb/mar

    I've booked aswell.. 1st choice is dromroe


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,137 ✭✭✭Anonymagician


    Can I ask why you guys have Dromroe first? Still trying to decide between them but gearing towards Kilmury because of the price/closeness to gym and campus.

    I went for Dromroe because its so close to the kemmy business school, plus its close to campus, and ill have my own bathroom and a double bed. I know its pricey, but ill literally know nobody there, so its the safest option i think! :)

    i can see your point about the gym tho, dromroe is a fair walk to the arena. I put thomond second, kinda regretting it now! :)

    Because dromroe is closest to the main lectures and you get your own bathroom


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 102 ✭✭Almen11


    I have plassey first and then kiilmurry and not sure after that can't really remember !

    I put Kilmury first because I heard its mostly first years :)

    I have applied languages and european studies down too :) I really want applied langauges but yea 440 is very high for me. Hoping that some chance it may come down.

    Yea I like thats there's lots of options for european studies but I'm struggling between Languages and Literature or it to go second. I researched both a lot but i just cannot decide. I would choose law and sociology, would be interesting but then at same time unsure if law would be a bit heavy going while having 2 languages.

    (1) Applied Languages
    (2) Languages and Literature
    (3) European Studies

    Really hope I get no.1 :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 621 ✭✭✭if832uspx4eogt


    For European Studies I think I'd do:

    Sociology
    Law
    French
    Spanish


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44 orangey24


    For European Studies I think I'd do:

    Sociology
    Law
    French
    Spanish

    exactly what I'd choose to :) Do you know what qualifications you could get out of sociology or law after the four years? Like if you could get some career out of it if you understand me..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 621 ✭✭✭if832uspx4eogt


    I don't think you are qualified in any career, it's a Bachelor of Arts. I presume you could work in linguistics or something, but you'd need to do a masters.

    My first two choices on my CAO are both in U.L. Was wondering if anyone is going there and if so, is the accommodation booked?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 52 ✭✭Help1997


    My first two choices are also UL. I've booked my accomodation .. My first choice is dromroe village


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 86 ✭✭ChrisBarrett7


    Nice one, what have you down? When should I be booking do you think?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 50 ✭✭omara95


    You will get accommodation down there easily after you get your results. Its in no shortage down there. Unless you are looking for campus I'd be applying as soon as possible!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 50 ✭✭omara95

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44 orangey24


    I picked drumroe village first like many others. Hope I get it! Did anyone get an email back to say which out of the 6 they got?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 86 ✭✭ChrisBarrett7


    Did everyone apply online or go to the university? I'm trying to apply online now but it's looking for a six digit cao number, when the cao number is eight digits? Help please!

    They ask for the CAO number with 'CAO' in front of it so for example you have to put it "CAO15123456"

    That's what it was for me anyway.

    Don't be, I'm sure you'll get sorted. You could always give them a ring anyway?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 102 ✭✭Almen11
