you could get the 46 or 84 and ask the driver the let you off at donnybrook bus garage. About a 10 minute walk from there down anglesey road

actually the 84 seems to turn right at donnybrook church and go down anglesea road past the RDS according to this http://www.dublinbus.ie/en/Your-Journey1/Timetables/All-Timetables/84/

so that would save you a walk but they don't go that often so more likely you'll see a 46 first

The dart is really handy if you're near it

LovexxLife · 14-09-2009 12:57PM

Go to NUIM's table for USB sticks

+1. They've come in so handy.

Personnally I went to the few that pop up during the year, but don't bother, just go to one, I used one probably and then the others I just left after an hour.

Ferris_Bueller · 14-09-2009 10:16PM

Going to this on wednesday, getting train up from Kildare with my year.. Anyone know how many schools go each day?! Hope its not too jammed..

calleochosam · 15-09-2009 10:46PM

Yeah, Im really interested in going to this too on the thursday, but does anyone know where to purchase tickets? I emailed higheroptions@irishtimes.com to request tickets last night around 9 but I still havent got any reply! Hopefully we can buy them on the door?

:pac:

Our guidance counselor told us we can get them at the door and not to bother getting tickets. €10 I believe

I got the usual free pen from UCD Quinn School of Business, and the USB stick from NUI Maynooth. As well as the bags of course ^^
Was a great day. The engineering talk was quite good as well.
What did you all think of it?

Bonkers_xOx · 16-09-2009 08:53PM

Yeah I think I got to the Shelbourne Hall too late!
I thought it was really good. The people at UCD were the most helpful, I thought.

Conor108 · 16-09-2009 09:12PM

Were the Army there?

monaghanmissus · 16-09-2009 09:21PM

anothernight · 16-09-2009 09:38PM

Both the Army and the Gardai were there. The Gardai had a car inside and stuff like that.

ayumi · 17-09-2009 05:05PM

were there pple without uniform?

SantryRed · 17-09-2009 05:41PM

No, you must wear your uniform or you don't get in.

DancingQueen:) · 17-09-2009 06:46PM

I'm going tomorrow

Want to go to two talks at eleven though,, i guess i'll just have to pick. Were the lectures any good?

ayumi · 17-09-2009 06:52PM

ru sure,my guidance teacher told us to wear our own clothes

phasers · 17-09-2009 06:54PM

Some schools don't even have uniforms, of course you don't have to :rolleyes:

Just make sure you have your tickets or get them off your guidance teachers

sean0 · 17-09-2009 06:56PM

Last year the majority of people there were just in normal clothes...

I don't think its true if it was what about the schools that don't have uniforms?

We were there today without uniform although most did seem to be in their uniform.
Had a good day, found out lots of info and I think I pretty much settled on a course after today. With the exeption of a newspaper didnt see any free stuff.

ps3man · 17-09-2009 07:22PM

didnt the army pull out.. why would they be there anyways they cant hire for 2 year anyway, just getting people hopes up, it was only the garda reserve as the full guards arent hiring atm either
