    Hey guys. I thought I'd make this thread to see if many are going to UL in September (hopefully.)

    My name is Hollie and I just kinda want to get to know or maybe have a chat with anybody who is going to the college as nobody in my whole school has chosen Limerick..Galway and Dublin seem to be top choices for them. :(

    So if you're going to Limerick, what course are you hoping to do and how many points do you need? :D

    Yep! Cannot wait! If you're looking for someone to talk to about it drop me a PM, a few of us are friends now and we're gonna meet up at the start of the year :)

    I'm hoping to do Education with Materials/Architectural Technology, I need 440 points but I'm feeling like I'll hit the points :)

    Me, hopefully! Hoping to do Language, Literature and Film. Most of my school seems to be going to Limerick- either that or UCC! I need between 360 and 400 points I think.

    You'll be grand... most people make all new friends in university anyway!

    UL! I'm hoping for computer engineering but with maths paper 1 being a disaster I'll have to take the special maths exam to get into the course.

    Yeah it's like a bi-annual thing that they have. I've seen that from a three year lurking period on the UL forum :pac:

    Now that the time has finally come for me to go to UL we may as well take over and ensure it happens this September. As far as I know nobody took it upon themselves to organise it this year. I'm sure a few of us can do it this year :D

    It would put us all at ease I think. :rolleyes:

    Oh wow! This is great :D I felt so scared going by myself but now I'm feeling pretty happy :) Is anyone here from Mayo? :D

    I'm doing Arts in English and History :) Need around 360. That's my second choice. First is just arts but is about 435 points :/

    Nope! Hoping to maybe check out the campus sometime over the summer. We could arrange for a few of us to go :)

    I've been down there twice and it's pretty wreckless to say the least.

    Yeah, I was thinking of either having a look this summer or just winging it. It'd be cool if we could all meet up before we go to college :D

    I didn't know so many of you were going to UL. Should be great with such high numbers of us :D

    Hope the LC is going well for you all :)

    PM me for regular chat anyway (names etc). It might be easier :D

    They start in August? Wow..I didn't know that. I probably will try going before the offers and results then but if not then we'll see. All I know is I have to be down to get my keys for my accommodation and pay the first half of the fees in late August time :)

    I sent mine off aswell yay :) Where did you apply to ? I think I put down Plassey as first preference.

    I think ive Plassey down first. I was kinda torn between Kilmurray and Plassey but I doubt theres much difference between the two :)

    I think I put down Plassey as mine too. If it was the cheapest then it's the one as my first preference :L Did you put mixed or non-smoking or anything? :)

    You thought the history paper was bad? I personally loved it :D I am absolutely thrilled with French and History :D

    Ah yes, I can't wait either :D I am from Mayo but am originally from North Yorkshire in England so I have my english accent still :L I doubt I'll be able to shake it haha.
    Do you have facebook? If so PM me and I'll give you mine :) I want to stay in contact with you all :D
