Yeah, UCD is definitely on the list but TCD is closer (not that it matters lol) and it would me my first choice. I was told UCD students are more into the partying than the Trinty students...is that debatable?

Erm, yes. Us UCD students are in fact pissheads.
The UCD science nights out are fantastic... Put 1000 drunk science students in 1 club and it's fun.

I'd say maths over maths methods too. All you have to do is pass it and that's very easy to do. I didn't go to most of Timoney's lectures, I just did the simple binary question and used my leaving cert probability notes for the probability question and left that paper at that. Got a 2.1 in maths

just DON'T do maths methods, geography/geology, biology n chemistry..it's a bitch!

Why not? Maths methods looks like a nice piece of piss that I could just skip and hopefully pass based on LC maths..leaving me with three subjects that are actually interesting..but if you have evidence to the contrary, do tell.

Maths is quite easy.

I think there's a strong element of Continuous assesment to MM.

Geography and Geology sounds like fun but you can still do Geology in 2nd year despite not doing it in 1st year, so obviously they do fook all. They do a lot of hand specimen work. Looking at rocks and identifying them. Ask anyone that did GG and they'll tell you about a whole lot of rock licking.

Just do BMC like a good boy. In fairness, long term it won't make any difference. I think a lot of people with say it's always a good idea to do as much maths as possible in college. It's never a disadvantage.

Talking of Maths - I remember walking into a lecture theatre in the Hamilton (maths) where the most bizarre sight awaited me....

The class was chatting non-stop and your man just kept on speaking and writing without bothering at all, or making more than the minimum effort to teach...... He's tall and grey haired.....

Colm O'Dunlaing? If it was JF SF or JS Engineering, I'd say would be any of the E1 subjects. But tall and grey haired sounds like my lecturer for 3E1.

John

Tall and grey haired could be Buttimore

DrIndy

dunno the name, just remember being stunned that everyone was talking continually during a lecture..... thats pretty much unheard of for me.....

John

I think it's an engineering thing.

Actually, who is in CSLL? theres yourself, that other guy, that girl....who's the fourth?

Another guy. One wears grey google hat and earphones, the other one has black hair and knows everything.

Go ahead and organise a night out, we'll be happy to join yous.

Whoah! So what, you just have some lectures/tutorials where it's just you? Or when you say "group" do you mean "the set of people doing CSLI"?

No lectures on my own, either CSLL classes or irish with the modern irish TSMers. 4 is the smallest class i have, unless there's 3 people that don't show up.

Alright i'll email class lists after examenes

In my opinion Science @ TCD is a good choice, there are good subject options (and some fun lecturers in the Physics dept - is Dr Eric Finch still around?) They say physics is the hardest to pick up if you haven't done it for the Leaving Cert. There are a lot of options also afterwards. I'd a good few friends at TCD who graduated 10-12 years ago and all got really good mileage out of their Science degree (unlike my Music B.A. mod which has pretty much stigmatized me for life).

stigmata ised u? ouch.

Aye finchy's still around, enthusiastic as always.
So you switched from science (physics?) to music? Or are you one of those amazing double double degree holders?

Pet

Double double degree?

Kevin_rc_ie

(degree)^2

?
