So I wont find you on the athletics track. That narrows the search.

As are you, my friend... think we have at least 10 or 15 people in here wanting to do Comp Sci now..

I guess it's not really that surprising, seeing as how computers and the internet are somewhat linked, so if you are interested in computers, you probably go online quite a bit :pac:

Corvo Attano · 29-07-2013 11:08pm

It is a first year spot but alot are put off by older students and dont get to meet as many people or so ive heard.

Found This Fork Sir · 29-07-2013 11:14pm

Hmm, I never heard that O.o Well, it can't be all bad. They can't all be thaaaat scary.

Even if they are, I'm good at hiding. :pac:

Corvo Attano · 29-07-2013 11:16pm

I mean older students put them off with talk of constant parties and such

Found This Fork Sir · 29-07-2013 11:18pm

They should issue earplugs to all first years, and then the problem is solved, they can hide with me, I know all the good hiding places.

Corvo Attano · 29-07-2013 11:20pm

In Galway? I feel I've missed something

Found This Fork Sir · 29-07-2013 11:21pm

Hmm, maybe I have miscalculated, I am from a far away land. This could be problematic.

Corvo Attano · 29-07-2013 11:25pm

Where are ya from mate?

Found This Fork Sir · 29-07-2013 11:27pm

The wilderness that is the Limerick countryside, you?

Corvo Attano · 29-07-2013 11:28pm

If you know your stereotypes my location should give it away. Give a guess

Found This Fork Sir · 29-07-2013 11:30pm

I'm going to guess the general Connacht region because I haven't the foggiest :pac:

Corvo Attano · 29-07-2013 11:33pm

Cavan. You just made an enemy good sir.

Found This Fork Sir · 29-07-2013 11:35pm

I was under the impression that I was already on the death-list? What with the pitch fork and everything. :P

Corvo Attano · 29-07-2013 11:40pm

That was for competition. Now you've disgraces Cavan and Ulster.

Imagine if we ended up in the same flat :pac:

Found This Fork Sir · 29-07-2013 11:43pm

****, I'm going to die. Oh well, denial all the way!

Corvo Attano · 29-07-2013 11:45pm

Found This Fork Sir · 29-07-2013 11:47pm

I do not know how to respond to this.

Corvo Attano · 29-07-2013 11:54pm

Make the smart choice.

Found This Fork Sir · 29-07-2013 11:56pm

Corvo Attano · 29-07-2013 11:59pm

I think nuig might be the place for me so

TheAlkaline · 31-07-2013 12:15am

I'm bringing back the corrib topic. Is it really worth going there? I mean, wherever you go you will meet mates (unless you are some kind of antisocial person). But is it true that in corrib you will have the lifetime crack?
I just wonder that if you spend a whole year in that place, and being a type of a person like me that loves to party. Will it not affect your grades too much? Also how is the whole thing with bringing mates over, it really does sound like being a prison block. A mature man not being allowed to stay with a girl for the night at his place? Madness.. (Please don't reply with a Sparta quote xD)

Between 1:35 and 2:00 sums up the way I see staying in Corrib for a year:

If you put in work then you'll get grades. Even if you stayed off campus you would end up going to the parties so same difference.

And security always sounds tight but you and I know that if you stay somewhere for a while you find ways around things.

Ficheall · 31-07-2013 5:57pm

I'd just like to say that I'm pleasantly surprised at how literate this year's First Years seem to be. Last year's seemed a complete shower of muppets.

Corvo Attano · 31-07-2013 6:01pm

Woo! Already exceeding expectations.

So Ficheall since I can deduce that you're not going into first year any tips for us that are? Just any small little bits?

Ficheall · 31-07-2013 6:22pm

Bleugh...

Enjoy it. It's very difficult to fail in NUIG.

Why do I sense bias. Don't you know its against ToS to shill.

Ficheall · 31-07-2013 6:46pm

What definition of "shill" are you using?

I was a proud ChessSoc member while you still had your baby teeth.

iamanengine · 31-07-2013 9:01pm

I've said it to a tonne of people on here, go to Corrib. I did and had the best year of my life.

Don't worry about the grades in 1st year, I just crammed for 2 weeks before the exams and got a 2.1.

Corvo Attano · 31-07-2013 9:09pm

Shilling as in promoting a group as if you were an independent observer while actually being affiliated.
