UCD rollcall... 2005/06 style

rainbow kirby

Well... it's been a long time since the last time this was asked, and there's a lot of new people on here since then... time to ask the question again.
What are YOU studying in UCD?

I'll get us started.
2nd BSc CS.

Looks like I'm gonna be studying Civil Engineering, just got to wait another 4 hrs to be sure...

Waltons

I've just got offered to study "Actuarial and Financial Studies".. But I now don't like it. UCD is too far away from my home in Blanchardstown.

Michael Collins

39X is your friend. I live much closer to UCD yet to my annoyance a fiend (sic) of mine who lives in da Blanch gets in in less time than me...

Apparently they're thinking of moving all the 39 / 37 etc termini to Belfied too. **


** Note this probably won't happen for 10 years, if at all.

timcraft.tk

oh uh, mister. Do you mind to tell me your friends name? Does he do ACtuarial studies as well? I need to know a lot about that thing. I put it as my 1st choice cuz I thought I would never get it, but suprisingly I did(560). Also, I've heard it's 38x, there's also 39x as well?

larryone

He wouldn't appreciate me giving his name out here timcraft, you could be some phycho. Which...you're probably not, but there ya are. He doesn't do Actuarial stuides anyways. Nope no such thing as a 38X, the 38B however would also do you, as that goes direct to Hellfield too. They are thinking of bringing the terminus from town to Hellfield due to the congestion of buses in the city centre, so if that come to fruition you'd also have the 38A/C 39/A 70 which are rediculously frequent. In fact if that were the case it'd be probably the best place to live to get to UCD! But like I say, it may never happen.

Hey I thought you were dropping out, man? Decided to stick it out?

rainer

M.Sc. in Ubiquitous and Multimedia systems
Wonder if there's anybody else taking this course as well, still waiting for the official offer and the payment slip and all that, been waiting for weeks and hav called in questing twice already. Is the cs department always working at that efficiency?

rainbow kirby

Well the fee payment forms for all courses were sent out today... Just a matter of how fast the postal service is at getting them to us.

Thx for sharing that information and, do you know if there's any notice sent out along with that about the starting date and time table? At this moment I know nothing about when to register and when the lectures are to begin and all that.

rainbow kirby

Start date is September 12. Those dates are on the UCD website. Timetable you'll get from the CS department.

My first post on boards (under the name [RoF]Gunner back then) was on a thread like this, called "UCD Roll Call" in the College Play forum. In fact, the number of ppl who posted on that resulted in the formation of this very forum, 2 years ago now.

Anyway, for the benefit of those who do not know me, permit me to introduce myself, I'm... The King of Procrastination.

Seb
erstwhile 2nd year Arts, History and Politics, but failed Politics repeats so f**k knows what I'm doing.

this course is fairly badly organised.

dunno about content wise, but admin wise.

a friend of mine did started it september 2003, so meant to finish aug-sept 2004, and still hasn't graduated or gotten full results.

she is supposed to graduate this oct, but her name is missing of the list. all a pile of ass by all accounts.

Julesie

Final Year BSc Economics and Finance

Ruskie4Rent

The CS dept is a bit of a disaster and the UMS course is like the worst example of that. I completed the course in October last year. (I was a member of the first UMS class). We will possibly graduate in December this year, yes! 14 months later. Only problem is, they've lost my results so I'm not even sure that I'll be graduating.
I started a PhD after that, it took 6 months to get my funding, 2 months to get a desk...
Overall, the Dept is a disaster, you have been warned!

Well UCD is class, I had a great time both as a student and staff member.

However having taken courses in from the Mechanical Engineering, E&E Eng Chemical Eng, Maths, Physics, Chemistry and Computer Science etc. departments I´d be quite confident to say that the vast majority of lectures, lecturers, labs, tutorials etc that I attended were absolute pants.

snickerpuss
