Practical tips

The most important thing to figure out is what room you’re supposed to be in. If you need to find a room e.g. CG71, remember that the order goes: building, floor, room number. So, if you’re looking for CG71, that’s Building C, Ground Floor, Room 71. The buildings also have official names e.g. Building C is also called the Henry Grattan. Bookmark the campus maps for your first couple of weeks until it all becomes second nature to you: www.dcu.ie/info/campus.shtml
