    When is everyone planning to head down? I'm thinking I might go down on the 1st of September, Monday before the orientation begins on Tuesday. Not sure if I want to stay there for the full week because I don't know anybody going to UL

    Honestly a full week there alone is a bit much! A day or two would be plenty! You have 4 years minimum to get used to this place!

    Well we start classes on Monday after so I should probably get to know the place. Arrive on Monday and go home on Wednesday maybe? That should cover it I think and I've orientation for 1 day which is Tuesday.

    I wouldn't see it as necessary, you have all of first year to relax and get to know a few friends, come up if you want but you'll be fine either way :)

    First year European Studies student, going to be living in Dromroe.
    I don't know anyone going to Limerick and haven't managed to find anyone doing my course despite a thorough creep of the UL tag on instagram after offers came out this morning!

    Anyone have any idea about what clubs/societies they want to join? I've looked on the website and found 10 soc's I like. I'm also very interested in being lazy so that numbers gonna have to come down...

    That's on my list!
    I actually don't drink tea but I'd be willing to start for the sake of making a few friends - think they'll serve biscuits or will we have to bring our own? :)

    Can't say I'm much of an archer!
    Will I be provided with a pimped out bow and arrow, and a white horse to ride through campus on? ;)

    You'll be given equipment alright and there are beginner lessons. Been trying to get the horse for years though, still hasn't happened :(

    I'll show up with a few chocolate digestives - everyone will want to be my friend then! :D

    I never even noticed a trampoline club! My list keeps getting bigger!

    jamo - what ones are you thinking of? My list ranges from History to Photography to Fan Forum, and about 6 more in between. I suppose we can give most of them a try when we get there and make our choices then!

    music - That's a sport right? Movement etc? It's a no from me.
