I can only do pharmacy in trinners or cork or rcsi out of them trinity wins! Much prefer the people in UCD and DCU though! So much more relaxed and they dont hav poles shoved up their asses!! UCD is such a good laugh!! Everyone is so sound! There is no snobiness, everyone is chilled!!! why cant ucd do pharmacy????!!

A complete misconception in my opinion, I didn't find any of the staff or students at TCD snobby in any way, although I'm only going on open day impressions.

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.

The staff and students in Trinity are all very friendly and very approachable. We carry off our superiority with a breeze, and don't force it down people's necks or up their asses, for that matter. Trinity is a genuinely friendly and homely place in contrast to UCD in particular. DCU, in my opinion, is the most friendly of the newer universities. I haven't any experience of Cork or Galway.

Em...

You mean well I know but you still managed to come across extremely cocky there.

CS comes under the engineering and system sciences school in tcd.

But yeah if you're gonna raise a flag and go us against them. It's us, engineers (including cs) and health sci against arts and bess.

Completely immature, but fun nonetheless

i wonder how this will be answered? In Trinners would you advise taking either (a) TSM Maths and Economics or (b) Theroretical Physics?
Ive an equal interest in Maths, Economics and Physics but cannot decide which to do

Go economics! You'll fly at economics if you're mathematical; and maths and physics is just gay for four years. Vary it a bit.

Large thread on Maths -vs- TP. Should be stickied in the TCD forum, given the large amount of requests TP has on boards...

What's with all the TP requests?!

That was something of a joke, although it is always prudent to remember that there may be serious divarications in context in even the funniest of jokes.

I was talking to a friend of mine who is currently a student in BESS in trinity. I told her my story of the two representatives of Politics. I explained to her that the fourth year students were pompous and belittling (bear in mind these were the only two). She admitted grudgingly that indeed those in politics could be stuck up. I then thought carefully and realised it is very presumptuous of me to think that every person in Trinity is snobby. When in fact the area I would like to pursue - Pharmacy contained the nicest people. I also took into consideration that by the time I had reached the open day it was 1 pm, most visitors were leaving or just stragglers and naturally, representatives were tired. So overall I feel that both U.C.D and Trinity come very close and of course, I will be choosing the course I wish to pursue over the free stuff (free stuff is fun though you know!). So I retract my comment I had earlier made that all trinners have poles stuck up their Assses!
