    Just wondering what people's experiences are within UCD? I knew people going into UCD already and I generally talk to everybody so I am happy with my social life here. I am in the science faculty and don't personally find it that cliquey but I know some of the years that have passed through science have been extremely cliquey.

    Just cursious as to what other people's expereince has been with UCD?

    If you think UCD is cliquey then you should have a look at Queen's... Unreal how cliquey it is, like being back at secondary school by comparison with UCD.

    Would that have anything to do with the age old divides in Belfast or is it something else?

    UCD is basically a mini-city. Like anywhere, similar types tend to flock together. But it's a world that offers people infinite choices to explore. Generally a very open place in my opinion given the mix of people. It depends what route you take to meeting people. You could stay involved in your faculty/school, or go via some societies and meet people from across campus. I had a great time and got to know so many different kinds of people.

    No, it's because everyone who goes to Queen's has gone to secondary school together. There's more of a country-city divide than anything else (or as they term it, 'west of the Bann and east of the Bann').

    I like to think of UCD as a thousand separate cliques.

    There's a clique for everybody here.

    Also did science, I found most people open minded to new people, even if they were from a different background or part of the city (as I was to most of my class).

    At the risk of courting controversy, the only group that I perceived to be cliquey were the Family Guy quoting, booming voice group of students who may have been considered the 'nerds' of the year, if that's possible in a science course.
