Johnny Versace

OH, if only I could go back in time...

I did Computer Science in DIT. The most retarded course in the world. Could be compressed into a 1 month course.

If I could go back in time I would do either Politics or Science (in the pharma/genetic direction...)

2. Yes alot of the time, DCU.

me too .. cept my finals are in 6 weeks....
I didn't really choose my college though... I live 5 mins away from it .. so I sorta would have been lookin a gift horse in the mouth to go venturing to another college ... the second choice was then what is available to me in this college? ....

word of advise ... never pick your career out of convience.

on the final stretch of an arts degree in UCD - about a month and a half left to go!
as things turned out, yes, i'm happy with what i chose, but the exact subjects i chose were by accident - when i started, i'd never have imagined that i'd end up doing the subjects i chose, but now i really enjoy what i'm doing, and i wouldn't have it any other way, so it's one of those things that just works out fine in the end!!
that said, i can't wait to see the back of UCD - i've had enough of it for a few years at least!

briano

1. Well, I didn't apply for my course. I'm still not entirely sure how I got into it. But its Grand, so: Yes

2. No. Kevin St. is a hole.

Computer Sc. in DIT. (the 4 year version, not 1 month...)

ClareBear

I'm in DIT Kevin Street too. And the less we say about it the better...:ninja:

Doodee

Kevin St aint too bad. That said i dont really spend too much time there ww)

ClareBear

I'm only there for 3 months and I think it'll be enough.

Why only 3 months?

ClareBear

Got a transfer from Cork....long and very uninteresting story believe me....ah DIT is okay....just it is a bit of a dump really isn't it....then again the lecturers on my course are very helpful so I'll stop complaining about it.

Johnny Versace

DIT Kevin Street is like a gay bar... without the alcohol.

You wouldn't think that if you smelt the breath of some of the electronics lecturers...

DIT Kevin St is definately a dump but at least it produces it's fair share of good looking women:

Doodee

What is the major problem with Kevin St?

Compared to Ballyfermot its way better.

Apart from being an old building theres not much more. Theres brand new Pc's gone into the labs and new equipment all over.

Its no Aungier but hey, i still enjoy it there.

(Cheap baked goods in teh school of Bakery too)

blondie83

1. yes
2. yes

doing electronic engineering in UCD. It's pretty hard, but if I had to make the choice again my CAO form would be the same. You don't really have to work during the year, just at the end of it (that said I failed 3 subjects last year and will probably do even worse this year!). The people in my class are pretty cool too, nice relaxed bunch.

GuanYin

No and no, although unfortunately I'm 11 years too late to do anything about it.
