Hello ! I’m currently in fifth year and have my sights set on economics and finance in UCD . I love maths and economics but I just have a few questions about the course .
1. I am quite good at maths (I get H1’s however I do put work into my maths and it’s only October although we have had 8 comprehensive tests, I got an A for my junior cert ) I am just curious as to whether the maths is truly insurmountable in this course and would you have to be a maths wizard to succeed in this course ?
2. What are the hours like in college on an average week ?
3.I have heard the course doesn’t allow you to have a proper college experience because the work is so heavy . Is this true ? Can you manage to go on nights out and meet people even with the heavy workload ?
4. Evidentially the class group are extremely academically capable seeing as the points are so high I was just wondering does this create healthy competition within the course or a toxic environment .
Thanks
