    yeah I'm heading into 4th year radiography. It's a good course and i've enjoyed my three years so far. Don't really know where to start so if you have any specific questions just pm me or ask them here.

    Just a few quick questions for anyone with the answers.
    There seems to be a lot of biology subjects involved, will i be at a huge disadvantage not having done it??
    Whats the boy girl ratio lik??
    And finally is the course really tough, hours wise??
    oh nd also any recommendation on where to live, roebuck, merville or belgrove??

    No biology isn't necessary. I never did it for the leaving cert either and had no problems with first year. I'd say chemistry and physics are far more important in first year. Chemistry especially for the physiology modules. Anatomy in first year is difficult enough. I suppose a bit of biology would have helped but a little bit of work and you'll be fine for anatomy. It's basically just memorizing locations of particular muscles, arteries and veins. Im my group there's 6 boys and about 35 girls. First and second year had the longest hours for me. I'm not sure with the course changing slightly but i'd say you have about 20 hours of lectures a week in first year. Roebuck is definitely the nicest followed by merville.
