frankymail · 17-08-2009 04:24PM

I'm thinking of doing this course next year. I'm well ahead of myself I know, but let us know how you find it.

giveliberty · 17-08-2009 06:49PM

Congrats to you all!!!!

Take it from a second year you will enjoy it so much.

Remember to get involved in the Media Production Society (MPS) and the College View (campus paper), and DramaSoc, and PhotoSoc, depending on your persuasion!

You are shown the basics in this course - involvement in the above societies will ensure you have a quality degree by the end of it all!

Jammy · 17-08-2009 07:00PM

I got accepted!

Woooo! I've been looking forward to doing this course for so long!

Hello my other fellow new Commies! :cool:

kav91 · 17-08-2009 07:12PM

Ahh that all sounds class:D

So excited now..:p

hello future classmates:)

Daysha · 17-08-2009 08:07PM

Congrats all! I'll guarantee you you'll love it, the course has one of the lowest dropout rates in the college as far as I know. I think there was 1, maybe 2 that dropped out from our CS1 class last year, not bad for a group of more than 65!

Also, keep your fingers crossed for when the timetable comes out in a few weeks. The CS1's from 2 years ago got Fridays off (thats 3 day weekends, every weekend!!), and we were originally meant to get that day off too, but our Psychology lecturer could only work Friday afternoons so we were in from 2-4pm instead. But don't get too excited when the timetable is first released, they'll change it at least 3-4 times before you start, so it'll never be set in stone until your first day of lectures.

Jammy · 17-08-2009 08:10PM

Deadly! I heard about the Fridays off, that'd be amazing if it was like that this year?

If it was intended last year then maybe they'll do it this year too *fingers crossed*

Do the timetables go up on the website?

They go up on the site, but are changed all the time in the first week, so as Daysha said, keep a close eye on it

Daysha · 17-08-2009 08:29PM

This is the final timetable we had for semester 1 last year, just to give you a bit of an idea about what to expect.

http://www.dcu.ie/timetables/feed.php3?prog=CS&per=1&week1=1&week2=12&hour=1-30&template=student

You wont have near that amount of classes though. Like on the tuesdays we were only in 1 of those 3 classes, and on the fridays the psychology seminars were split in two so you'll only be in one of those. Adds up to 13 hours a week I think.

kav91 · 17-08-2009 11:46PM

God ye're all so helpful already:) thanks guys!! how's the on campus accommodation up there??:)

sarah+1 · 18-08-2009 01:30AM

I'm excited

Helloo new friends

Diarmsquid · 18-08-2009 01:36PM
