College Freshers: Discussion, links, student offers etc.

Well Lads BGR has gotten fed up being stuck at home for the past 12 months and I've decided to enroll in college as a mature Student (i'm feckin' nearly 31 feel like an auld lad)so I thought it would be good to have a thread for newbie Students to share info on all the important stuff (ya know were to get the most free stuff or cheapest beer stuff like that ) or just generally chat about college life in general

I came accross this good site for student competitions www.studentcents.ie
to get the ball rolling

Started a Master's Degree last week. No classes on Monday, a gruelling 14 hours a week. Once the class (unrelated to uni) I have to teach from 9-1 on a Saturday ends in a few weeks, then the drinking shall begin.

EDIT: Banks will let you start a 3rd level account, which has some pretty decent things going for it.

Is your Maths lecturer a Corkonian ?

If so your lectures won't be much longer than 15 minutes all year :D

My first thought was to post you a link to the Simpson's episode where Homer goes back to uni but unfortunately couldn't find it online- my brother and I (respective Simpson's fanatics) have been quoting it all week as he starts uni on Monday- "Crusty old dean...!"
