In my experience the majority of students are 'aethiest'. Lots of Catholics, Protestants, Methodists, Presbreyterians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists etc. knocking around though.

In the upper echelons of academia, it is fair to say there were a lot of protestants (again going by personal experience as there are no real statistics on this). Of course lots of the newly appointed academics come from abroad e.g. Russia, Asia, US etc. and would bring with them different faiths. Some people say a secret protestant 'golden circle' exists, but I've seen no evidence of this. There's also stories about lots of high ranking members of the university being in the freemasons.

The Fellows were traditionally staunch Protestants (and still pray to Queen Elizabeth each evening at dinner), but this is no longer the case. Whilst they might stand and pray each evening, for many it is just for reasons of tradition and not religion.

University life is very diverse in 2005.

Are you implying that people in tcd are snobbish and HAVE got poles up their asses.
In fairness you can't really comment without having experienced the place properly.
You'll get from trinity whatever you put into it, so make an effort and you'll get on grand.

People in Trinity are snobbish? As opposed to the UCDers who won't talk to Northsiders

You are going to be unpleasently suprised if you think that is the case in UCD. Out of all the colleges, the one i've heard most people complaining about with regards snobbishness is UCD.

Well I think I do have a bit of knowlede with regards to U.C.D and Trinity seeing as one of my brothers did a degree in U.C.D and one just got a masters from Trinity. I know a lot of people comlain about U.C.D but tbh I found the 6th year open day to be really useful! I accounted snobby attitutes in the politics stand. Where when I asked what are the job prospectus I was told I could always get a job in Mc Donalds!! How encouraging??!! In other open days most students try to sell the course but obviously no in the politics area! We'll see who will be working in Mc Donalds when I'm president! lol!

Glad to hear it, most people thought the open day wasn't great(here) but it's nice to hear our efforts didn't fall on deaf ears.
