    So lads, where are you all hoping to go? Obviously I'm a touch biased it being my uni and all but UL is fantastic, living on campus and the laziness of it is something else! A word to the wise though: you do an awful lot of walking. Its all good though, you need to do something to burn off the beer miles clocked up.

    Trinity probably, or NCAD. Don't really like the look of the maths courses in the other colleges. (Maths course in NCAD is just superb like.)
    NUIM is out of the question because it's in the awkward "too far to commute happily, too close to move out" bracket...

    Trinity for me hopefully. Going for History and Political Science(530 points last year) but I doubt I'll get the points unless they drop a bit. But I'd be happy enough with BESS(480 points last year) and I would be confident enough of getting around 480.

    If I don't get either of those, it will probably be History and Politics in UCD(480 last year I think) or International Relations in DCU(410).

    I massively want to go to Trinity though, without a shadow of a doubt! But if that didn't work out and if it was a straight choice between UCD and DCU, I would have to go for DCU. UCD is just the most ugliest educational institution!

    Because they are. I couldn't fit them in and/or couldn't be bothered. Who'd want to go to Uni up the North anyway, pfft. :p

    Buuuurn!!!

    I'd recommend UCC. I'm loving it! Its really dynamic, the people are so friendly, and its great that you get to meet so many new and different people. Apparently in the Dublin colleges, people stick together, but its not like that here at all. So fun. And do Law. Sure why not like... :)

    No, when a lot of people that know each other before college go to the same college they stick together. Regardless of college.

    There's no mutual exclusivity between being in a different country and being operated by a different governing authority. The use of UCAS is in fact an indication that Northern Ireland is not the same country as Ireland. The fact that they use a different currency, have different governments and have different laws are further clues in this puzzle.

    Do you judge football teams by the quality of their stadium or the players on the field?

    Probably because so many people are from Dublin and don't know any other universities,

    As for the guy who made the comment about football players and stadiums (sorry forgot it but it wad good)
    Well i've checked out a lot of universities in Ireland and UL has the nicest campus as well as that its courses have very good recommendations with high numbers getting jobs soon after etc (it was in the irish times there a few weeks ago)

    There are only a limited amount of options you can out in a poll. There are a some ITs missing from the poll. There are also american and british colleges missing from the poll. The original poster but in the options that he/she thought would be most popular or that where the first to pop into his head. The other option is to cater for all the colleges he/she couldn't think of or even knew of. Please, just learn to calm down a bit regob.

    I was thinking either Trinity or DCU, for either Computer Science/Applications or a TSM.
