Yes you can. Some of them may require some work with the society for things like gym access which Marino students do not have but these are conversations you can debate with the society of your choosing. Other societies such as debate, chess, musical theatre and newspaper societies etc you are welcome to join. Marino has a great selection of fantastic clubs & societies which are growing each year.
Access to the Fitness Room is included as part of your student registration, and there is no additional charge. Students can access the Fitness Room using their student card once they have completed the required induction.
There are lots of social events during fresher’s week at the beginning of the year. We organise events to coincide with specific times of the year e.g. Halloween, Christmas, Seachtain na Gaeilge, Wellbeing Week etc. We also have our end of year ball and a yearly charity event. We’re always looking for new creative ideas so please do get in touch.
If you miss lectures for events such as matches, rehearsals or assisting in college run events that are sanctioned by a member of staff you will not be penalised. It is not recommended to miss lectures as the content is important, however Marino acknowledges that it is also important to show off your talents and represent the college!
Not at all! In fact we would love to see representation from all courses as much as possible as it allows us to create a more inclusive SU that represents all students from all courses. The introduction of the position of Vice President of Life Long learning has shown the positive impact that representation from these courses has and is something we would love to see more of.
