    A conversation with a student today inspired me to start this thread. Any of you guys go to CTYI in DCU when you were a kid?

    Ah, session 1 98. Not that I'd remember you if it was the other way around :D And MP3Guy, you're right in a way tbh. There were people who I done it with who were like that. Mostly rich spoilt kids from the southside who ended up going to UCD or Trinners. Funny that

    Yeah, unfortunately there's always going to be the people who go to CTYI who end up thinking they're superior to everyone else just because they did well on a test!
    But not everyone who went there is like that! Me, for example :P

    Yeah elitist, cliquey, trinity. All reasons I didn't go. Not an unfounded opinion. I had friends that went who are no longer friends. I'm proud of my teenage judgements!
