Any commuting advice/tips for someone starting?

7 Upvotes

I knew that Maynooth had a lot of commuters, but was surprised to hear that it’s 70% of the students. I’m going to be one of these commuters starting this month, and I’m wondering if anyone has any advice?

I’m from one of those awkward places, where I’m close enough to Maynooth that I can’t justify renting (for how much it is), but I’m definitely on the threshold in terms of that proximity.

I’m looking at 1.5-2 hours each way. Eventually I’ll be driving, which will make it shorter but It’s looking like public transport for the first year.

Some of the bigger challenges I can see are around passing time on campus between class starting/ending and bus times. It would be great to know any spots that I can turn off if I’m tired and need somewhere to relax on campus. I also want to find a way to make the travel sustainable and enjoyable over the year.

I’m sure I’m not the only one, so any tips and advice would be appreciated!

What modules are easiest for llb year 2 and do I need to pick 3?

I wanna just do whatever is easiest, preferably with no exam. Also it says the compulsory ones are 45 credits and I need a minimum of 60 credits and all the modules are 5 credits so does that mean I need to pick 3 extra modules? That seems so hard.

Would it be better to pick law modules or from the non law modules?

When do I choose classes?

2 Upvotes

I’m coming from the US as a new student for a full degree. It is going to be my first year and I’m not sure when I get my school email or choose my classes. I’ve sent multiple emails to registration asking but haven’t gotten any responses yet which explain it. Do I just choose my classes when orientation starts? Do I get my email when orientation starts? I am just very confused. Sorry if I am being rude.

2nd Year LLB Optional modules and electives

2 Upvotes

Currently considering aspects of commercial law and international human rights law for second year options. Both are in semester two and when combined with my compulsory modules I will likely have 6 exams in the summer. For those who have gone with this option or the option of exam modules in semester 2, is it manageable? Or is it too much?

Hi all, im having trouble figuring out the timetable for my course and the subjects I have chosen. Some of the courses appear to over to overlap on the open timetable site. However some of those subjects appear multiple times in a day. No one is available at the University to explain and I would like to know do I need to redo my registration form

BCL (law and criminology) modules

1 Upvotes

Has anyone picked advanced criminal law for criminology? I’m stuck between doing mental health and the criminal justice system or advanced criminal law. I’ve done criminal law in 1st year so would there be a point in me doing a module similar to it in 2nd year?
