Preparing for College

It is probably fair to say that you have been preparing for third-level education since your Junior Cert year, but there’s more to know!

In this section we look at all and every aspect of preparing for college. That means we look at Transition Year and Leaving Cert options. We also look at finding the right college and open days. We have a college jargon buster, and we tell you what to expect during Registration Week and Freshers Week. Furthermore, we have advice on finding student accommodation, student services and a lot more to help you get ready for college.
