    Wondering what people's opinions on these are? Are they worth the money or are they a waste of time?

    I'd be particularly interested in Leeson Street and Midland Tutorial Centre, Athlone? Any one have any info on either, especially the place in Athlone?

    Thanks in advance.....

    (BTW I'd be mainly concerned with honours English, but feel free to comment on all subjects:P)

    Honestly, I'd say take a break over Christmas.
    There is a very long term ahead with Easter so late.

    I'm debating between Yeats in Galway and the Institute in Dublin... Probably will go to Dublin..

    Whether you decide to go or not at Christmas DON'T go at Easter. Easter is when you should be sorting out sections you're not happy with. You shouldn't be revising everything in minor detail at a grinds school...


    I haven't heard great things about MTC!

    Tbh all of those courses are very expensive for the amount you get out of them. Your own directed study would work much better (if you can concentrate long enough during the holidays).

    Was thinking of going to some of these..Do you get many notes..Are they really worth their money?

    It'd be way better if you can do it at home and invest the money in grinds during the year if needs be. Depends on your discipline really at the end of the day.
