I do take GoT a lil too serious.. But you should definitely give it a chance...

Picasso711 · 11-09-2014 09:59PM

A lil too serious but you should watch it before you dismiss it.

Me: Stop right there.

Don't be silly...that's Harry Potter/LotR/Eragon etc. Couldn't sum up the interest in it to be honest

Hello there

For our student card, do we need to bring like a passport picture with us for the card or do they take our picture down there?

Mario95 · 12-09-2014 09:05PM

Does anyone know if it will be possible to pay the €100 of student levy on the registration day, or do I have to pay online?

I doubt it

Do we only get a student card when all fees are paid? Regardless of grant?

I saw a guy one year going in with his parents, they waited for him while he got his picture taken and ID printed. Never seen someone so mortified.

Zemuppet · 13-09-2014 12:13AM

Why exactly would someone's parents come to registration? Just boogles the mind

banquo · 13-09-2014 12:16AM

If someone is bringing their parents, please let me know in advance so I can attend this spectacle.

We'll hire a photographer, pay other people in the queue to cheer.

Zemuppet · 13-09-2014 01:15AM

Imagine when they're taking the picture, the mother starts fretting over their child's hair
"Look at your hair, its such a mess. Ok now don't slump your shoulders, keep ur back straight and don't forget to smile for mammy". Que an embrassed teenager and bewildered looks from the staff and students.

this is where you begin to know people... I think parents would only hinder that...

So how's everyone feeling about the whole thing? Nervous excitement is how I would describe how I feel....

Who's heading up today?

Getting a train up soon enough, travelling 5 hours to get there is nerve racking in case I forget anything I need

We do have shops here, you can buy what you forget. Relax, you'll all be fine.

I'd say anyone that lives on campus or close by would go, sure why not its a good way to make new friends, and most of the events are free

I did it online anyway. In the 'enter amount' box, I put in the first installment amount + another 100.

Have a question re. business as an arts subject. I'm just checking the timetable, right, and I've highlighted the business modules. When I view the timetable, there are 2 modules clashing at each time. Am I right to assume that there are 2 different business classes due to high numbers etc.?

thelad95 · 16-09-2014 01:49AM

Whay did ye think of the frat party?
