Excellent, and college hasn't even started yet.

It's a relatively new course I think, the level 8 Business degree.

dragonfly! · 12-08-2009 11:05AM

yep think its the first year of it
did you do your LC this year?

Walsh · 12-08-2009 12:05PM

why are you sad about that?
I did mine last year

xIsabelx · 13-08-2009 02:34PM

Because I'll feel outnumbered by all the young ones!

dragonfly! · 13-08-2009 04:28PM

myeh age is just a number:)
im 20 if that makes you feel any better?
do you know when orientation is?
I emailed them yesterday and rang them today but no reply to my email and no answer on the phone either:eek:

xIsabelx · 13-08-2009 05:03PM

Yes, it makes me feel marginally better

I'm pretty sure it's on the 7th? I'd say we'll get a letter in the post about it. Offers are on Monday...second time I've gone through the CAO :cool:

anyone out there doing accounting was gonna do it in dcu but the points were so blooming high. As for getting a job or watever does it really matter with accountancy since after you leaving the college you will still be doing exams to become one. But all in all i dont care live like 4 minutes away. Few my mates are there and seems like a good place.

slyph · 14-08-2009 08:01PM

Got an offer to start part time here, probably attending here next september depending on other offers I may get.

With regard the academic calender, what is the Second Semester Examination Board all about?

See you in september maybe!

Oh another quick question, for on campus accomodation- can you pay on weekly/monthly basis?

Also I read you only get internet access for 2 hours per day in your room ? Is that correct ?

Moonbeam · 15-08-2009 08:35AM

If it is a part time course surely you won't be living on campus?
Or did you apply via cao for courses and apply for part time courses too?

slyph · 15-08-2009 04:58PM

It's part time yeah. However I live the otherside of the country at the moment and I'd rather just move and stay put in dublin.

lectures start on the 7th but orientation is a few days before that. unfort no one can tell me what date.
the first person i spoke to said either the 2nd 3rd or 4th.
that was a few weeks ago rang again on friday and the receptionist said she didnt know. helpful!
guess i'll just have to tell them in work that i cant work those days!

As a part time student you will not be entitled to on campus accommodation or any of the other benefits of being a full time student.

Moonbeam · 19-08-2009 10:26AM

Half the fun of college is knowing no one:)

jd83 · 19-08-2009 10:38AM

Classes are so small that after a few days you will know everyone in your class. All the lecturers usually get you to introduce yourself and say a bit about yourself at the start of the first lecture for each of your subjects.

xIsabelx · 19-08-2009 11:48AM

I hate those ice-breaker things where they give you a sheet and you have to find as many people who like a certain band or find someone who plays the piano, etc. It's so awkward lol

jd83 · 19-08-2009 11:58AM

yh but your all in the same boat so everyone is awkward together. Anyways have fun and dont spend too much time in the su

What to expect?
