Hey everyone. So I’m moving to Dublin from the west in 4 weeks to start an undergraduate degree at 27, this whole thing is very new for me. I’m hoping anyone else who is in the same boat and sees this maybe we could get chatting? Also if anyone has experience with college as a mature student they have any advice? Thanks
hi guys xx I’m going into my last year of my degree. It’s MH502 - if anyone has questions, feel free to dm me or drop it down below (so other ppl can see the answer) about anything at all, campus life, exams, modules, stuff abt my degree, night life lmao just ask away!!!
Hi,
I've applied for the GIS and remote sensing masters and accepted my conditional offer, it outlines that a 2:1 or higher is needed for acceptance.
So far the geography department has been super sound and helpful for undergrad, I was wondering if they have any wiggleroom for accepting a student with a 2:2 in undergrad geography?
Thanks :)
I’m doing a BCL and going into 2nd year so I’m trying to decide what modules to pick. I was thinking of doing international law and then either law of obligations or commercial law. Do any 3rd/4th yr law students have any recommendations of modules that were good/had good lecturers or which ones to avoid? Thanks
im choosing my subjects for lc, and would love to hear any advice, recomendations ect for them or for other subjects. Please tell me what im getting into if you believe necessary. Im aiming for a high point stem/ philosophy course in Maynooth (Bsc theoretical physics\ BSc in Computational Thinking, which are both around 510-530 if your wondering). My best suject, at least in the jc were higher maths, higher english, music and science (which I got distinctions in) but i under stand that lc is quite more advanced. Cheers!
Higher; Maths, English, Physics, Chemistry\Comp-sci, German\Comp-sci, Musics\Comp-sci
Ordinary; Irish
Im starting an arts degree in September in history and geography and im wondering what kind of laptop would be the best option.
I do have a chrome book that I can get fixed up but I wouldn't be able to use Microsoft Word etc on it. I have a Samsung phone also and would like it to be compatible with the laptop so probably wouldn't get an ipad instead.
Any suggestions?
Is there a set time when the registration process opens? When's the date? and if we can then when and where do we choose modules that aren't required?
I had to resit two exams, both modules of a course. if I met the requirements for a pass by compensation, would that still apply to them as resits?
I want to share my experience renting a room in a house near Maynooth so that future tenants know what to expect.
The place is at the Bawnogues, Kilcock.
During my tenancy, I was only allowed to cook twice a week and use the washing machine once a week after 7:00 p.m. I also regularly took out the household rubbish after I had used the kitchen. Over time, the landlord family completely stopped taking the bins out, even when they were full, and they were often left until my cooking day, so I ended up taking them out myself.
There was also a difficult situation when I was moving out. We had originally agreed on a move-out date, but the landlord later asked if I could leave about 15 days earlier because someone else was expected to move in. I agreed and informed my new landlord that I could move in early. After I had made those arrangements, the landlord changed his mind and told me I no longer needed to leave early and could stay until the original date. By then, I had already committed to my new accommodation, so I had to pay rent for days I was no longer living in the house.
There were also several uncomfortable interactions with the landlord’s wife. Tenants had their own mini fridge for personal food storage, and although I completely understood that their personal kitchen items were not for tenants to use, I bought my own kitchen utensils (pans, pots, spoons, knives, and kettle) and respected that boundary. On one occasion, while I was preparing Chinese cabbage, she repeatedly opened and closed the fridge and asked whether the cabbage was hers or mine, even though tenants did not have access to or use their personal kitchen items.
This post reflects my personal experience. I’m only posting this anonymously due to concerns over my own security, but I still want to warn people — especially students — about this landlord’s attitude. I hope no one else has to deal with people like this.
Is it possible to pass by compensation in a required module if one of the components is a high mark but the other is just 4 percent below the threshold? Is it worth discussing this with the Proff , especially if there were extenuating circumstances?
Thanks to anyone who takes the time to reply
