DCU HEAR Orientation Program:

MichealConroy · 17-08-2009 10:34AM #1

30/08/09-04/09/09.

Anyone along with myself attending this?

On my HEAR Handout it state's:

'Dublin City University (residential) 30 August 2009 - 4 September 2009'
Does the 'Residential' mean staying on campus?

stringy · 17-08-2009 02:08PM

Residential means staying on campus. All participants stay on campus regardless of where they live

phasers · 17-08-2009 02:33PM

On the letter that told me I was eligible for the HEAR it says nothing about DCU being residential but on the original handout it says it is?

Does anybody know the story?

Also see you there Michael!

stringy · 18-08-2009 10:23AM

Yes it is residential. It says it in the HEAR application guide and stated it on your eligibility letter. It's a great week

Thanks for letting me know, I was just confused because on my eligibility letter DCU didn't have residential written next to it but others did

phasers · 19-08-2009 11:52AM

They sent me a letter today, it's definitely residential!

It says bring sports gear and swimming stuff :eek:

Postman-Layla · 19-08-2009 10:55PM

In my glue am I cracking out the ol' swim togs!
Heard good things about the week from a fair few people now... Hopefully it'll be a laugh!
Were they ringing people from a private number today/yesteday? I got a load of missed calls but I don't like answering random withheld numbers. Hope they don't decide to not let me in now :P

stylee · 20-08-2009 12:12AM

I got a letter today in the post, kind of dreading it because not sure what to expect:( ha i never did PE at school nevermind sporting activities:P haha.. I'll take my swimming clothes aww i hope it's good

does anyone know what we're going to be doing?

phasers · 20-08-2009 11:42AM

Yeah I'm really curious! And pretty nervous...

Also I am the least sporty person ever, plese say there are some other hopeless people going? :pac:

YourName · 20-08-2009 01:34PM

I will be joining yourselves on Sunday week then. Are yous doing the HEAR Access Programme or DCU's Access Programme??? The two "Summer Schools" (How childish does that sound) seem to be running at the same time, so I think after the selection process they just become the same thing.

I was in contact with the access office a few times this week because I had to sort out holidays from work, and she forwarded me on the Timetable for the week, looks like fun, but long days. If anyone wants the timetable send me a PM with your email, just don't want ton post it on here in case I get in trouble.

Whats the story with the no drinking policy??? Thought this was college ! ! !

Postman-Layla · 20-08-2009 02:22PM

I know - didn't wanna say it in case I sounded like a right lush! Unless they're planning on letting us out in the evenings so we can hit the pub across the road?
Hopeless doesn't even come close - I can't stand up without falling over!

crazysky · 20-08-2009 02:33PM

Im a bit nervous too! Yeah talk about hopeless - I cant even swim...

Postman-Layla · 20-08-2009 02:39PM

Sounds like the swimming thing is optional though, so ya might just survive it crazysky!

phasers · 20-08-2009 03:48PM

You all seem really nice, I'm getting excited now!

The no drink thing will be a laugh anyway, are they planning of searching bags? If not I think there'll be a bit of "Crouching tiger, hidden naggin" going on :P

YourName · 20-08-2009 04:20PM

Yeh my mate did it before and he said it was just a mad laugh, they weren't meant to be drinking but every night they just got locked anyway. And when I was at some meeting with the co-ordinator of this a while back they said that the people who are taking care of us bring us all out on the last night into town, and for the people who I sent the timetable to they will see that the last night that we are there it just says "free", so presumably so that's the night we go out.

Anyway I ain't completely thinking about drinking here, just making a point, but I'm looking forward to it anyway.

(I will send the timetable to the rest of yous now in a minute . . . . )

YourName · 23-08-2009 01:42PM

just to let you all know, the timetable that I emailed a few people is actually the co-ordinators timetable so just ignore the first thing on Sunday about a meeting, thats not for us, you still meet up in campus res as the letter says

marco murphy · 24-08-2009 11:40PM

I got two phone calls, and I will be attending also.
As for the swimming togs, I'll bring them but no guarantees.
Hopefully it will be good craic.
