    this honestly made me feel so much better about uni, im year 12 but i've been around to look at unis and have felt really scared by the whole thing but knowing that you and probably else was feeling that way about uni makes me feel better about going bc everyone's going to be in the same boat, good luck with second year!!

    As someone who has just finished second year in mechanical engineering (University of Galway), I would say that doing consistent but not excessive (or crammed) Study is the key to academic success. Make sure to look over the lecture notes/material after EVERY lecture - it saves a lot of time and makes sure that you’ve learned the material. You could also look up techniques such as active recall or spaced repetition to further improve the efficiency of your study time. With regards to settling in - there’s no need to be nervous or to plan everything down to the minutiae, since everyone is in the same boat and circumstances rarely go exactly as planned. Enjoy your time and good luck!

    @@lordsauron4556 Do you think TCD, UCD, UCC or DCU are better? Why'd you pick NUG over alternatives and how's your experience so far? My biggest question is how's the cost of living, tuition and accommodation since Dublin clearly has major issues in that regard. Also did you get any scholarships? Any reply would be appreciated, thanks.
