Where you want to go to college?

Shane

Also, why you prefer it over other colleges?

Dont be at yourself

DCU, because I will be living about two seconds away from it.

richindub2

history in trinity...because its easier to get to / closer to town than ucd and the history department's meant to be better :E

ferdi

ucd, cause arts is 375, its nice and near, many of my freinds are going

kaimera

UL.

one of the best places for IT courses.

^whitey^

Cork I.T because the I.T courses are more practical then the ones in U.C.C.

wiensta

animation in DL.

cos the only other animation course is in Ballyfermot!

spaczed

UCD, because its got the course i want My second is NUI Maynooth, also jus because of the course they have- I have to admit though, I think the social scene in UCD would be pretty class.

Mewzel

well trinity has far more courses im interested in than any other college. if it wasnt for that id probably choose ucd, its nearer me for a start!

Trinity: Reputation purposes entirely. Useful if I ever go to America to work etc.

lordsippa

Trinity. Cause I'm a pretentious git.

Shane

AHHH! I knew this would happen! Why does everyone want to go to Trinity? It's such a stuck up place! And talk about anti-culchie attitude! (Subjects on offer aside) to me, DCU is the best Dublin college, with UCD second, I despise Trinity!

Sangre

God DCU is so fecking awkward for anyone on the Southside. Bah and the campus is fecking great aswell.

Tbh both colleges have a reputation thats not great

UCD-jocks
Trinity-Snobs


Lesser of two evils is what you have to pick.

Sir

To be honest i hated DCU when i started but now i think its great it really does depend on what you make of the place! I've gotten involved in way more activities this semester than i had done in semester one. It's unlike secondary school wherein the clubs/teams etc dont come looking for you to get involved you've to go after them. The more enthusiastic you are or the more willing you are to contribute the better you'll get on the more you'll get out of the whole third level experience
DCU has fantastic sports facilities too the canteen is one of the most reasonably priced ive been in beating UCD for price any day!

So yeah hmmm...

That's about it i guess.....

Doodee

cos the only other animation course is in Ballyfermot!

What have you got against ballyer?

The animation course there is brilliant, they use some great methods not used in other Uni's or colleges.

also it paves the way to go on and do stuff like Character animation CAD or game dev (Ludo & Ludo2)

I'm there at the moment and I think its a brilliant college, underrated by alot of people, making it better for the students there.

I chose BCFE over UL,NUIG and DCU/UCD/Trin.

Sure they didnt all have the course that im doing not, but i was going to do I.T, and thank god i didnt


U'LL SEE, ME WITH MY TVR WHEN I MAKE A GAME THAT EVERY1 MUST HAVE, U'LL SEE!

STaN

If your arty in anyway or looking at film/special effects/3d design etc i would recommend DLIADT (Dun Laoghaire Institute of Art, Design and Technology).

They also run some computer, english and history courses. Its a good, tightly knit college.

I miss that place...

wiensta

What have you got against ballyer?

its a really rundown college and takes ages to get to from almost anywhere.

The animation course there is brilliant, they use some great methods not used in other Uni's or colleges.

i have personally read and studied every single piece of writing they offer, and i have worked with 10 people who went there (the animation course) for the last 4 years. And thier entire syllabus is the exact same used in Sheridan College Canada (down to the notes they get).

also it paves the way to go on and do stuff like Character animation CAD or game dev (Ludo & Ludo2)

Sure, so does dun loaghaire right?

I'm there at the moment and I think its a brilliant college, underrated by alot of people, making it better for the students there. I chose BCFE over UL,NUIG and DCU/UCD/Trin.

I have no doubt, i hear its actually great craic, and im not at all a stuck up, untalented art student.

Doodee, Im 17 and i have been working in the animation industry for 4 years, (commercially for 3). I have done every basic animation technique yonks ago. Im not gonna learn that much in college to be honest. Im not saying Dun Laoghaire is the best college, it just suits me given the circumstances.

Interesting shane forgot ireland's biggest college in his poll.

Tails

UCC because no where else has the course i want to do.

Rockiemalt

It all depends what u wanna do. I was in Ballyfermot & DLIADT last week for interviews & portfolio stuff. Dun Loaighre is a nicer college but i need to do a decent foundation course & apprantely ballyfermot is great for that. hopefully i get in now!
I was really impressed with the animation course in ballyer compared to dun laoighre,

Sev

Trinners, cos its quite conveniently situated. Also everybody I know seems to be set on it.

sisob

Trinity cus I'm doing CS and the idea
of doing a CS course that doesn't
require honors maths scares me.

I don't want to be elitist but i dont want to
learn about computers with people who
sat a maths exam with questions about
cooking turkeys..

You're mocking us, aren't you...?

- If you mean DIT, I didn't forget! It's an IT, and I couldn't fit it on it's own. And for your information, the biggest college in Ireland ain't DIT! Guess which one is...

The University of Ulster
