DIT itself has no bars or clubs since "the city is our campus" excuse is thrown around. In Kevin St. there's "shine" 2 seconds away but really you've the whole of the city to drink in.

Irishtrekkie · 02-09-2009 4:43pm

I think shine is closed at the moment or something , anyway has not been the same since they ruined upstairs .

Sure it could be worse DIT was talking about quite a large bar/venue/club for grangegorman (if it ever happens) . But the sad fact was most on campus bars in colleges are terrible and empty for a large part of the year and lose lots of money.

At least in Dit your in the city so a fair few decent places to go , plus it show as dit societies like gigsoc for one , i know had alot more success on nights out in the city as our students are willing and use to going to different places , while other college counter part socs cant get people to leave their campuses.

LeotCol · 03-09-2009 1:56am

The Labs: Fine, no complaints , kinda like an internet cafe, just minus the cafe part. and ure not allowed use ure laptop in them or eat.

Short point, dont be worrying about the type of job you can get if you graduate from Comp Science...

You will learn plenty of IT Skills that will cater for a vast number of professions.
