    I can't decide between Science(common entry) in Trinity or DCU
    Also I can't decide between doing Physics with Medical Physics and Bioengineering in DIT or Biomedical Engineering DCU or Common Entry Science?

    Pros and cons of each for me:
    Science TCD common entry
    1.easiest to get to (20 minutes on Dart)
    2.recognised here and abroad
    3.cannot do biology,chemistry and physics in first year you have to choose pattern
    4.If I want to specialise in genetics in third year I can't do physics in first year...
    5.A masters is available in Medical Physics, having done a degree in Physics
    6.good facilities

    I preferred physics to chemistry in school for leaving cert but i loved genetics in biology. I heard Physics is really hard in college though.

    Science common entry DCU
    1.good choices for specialisation in second year ie:Genetics and cell biology,physics with biomedical science,physics with astronomy and biotechnology
    2.not hard to get to but not as easy as Trinity(1 hour on bus)
    3.you can do Biology,chemistry,physics and maths in first year

    DIT-Physics with Medical Physics and Bioengineering
    1.good mixture of Biology,physics,medicine and engineering.
    2.ok to get to (15 minute walk + 20 minute DART)
    3.Degree not as recognisable as Trinity abroad
    4.small class(15)
    5. facilities are not great

    Biomedical Engineering DCU
    1.more practical than science,ie get to make stuff
    2.(1 hour bus trip)
    3.mixture of biology and physics
    4.don't like computer programming:mad:

    Any help would be greatly appreciated I'm struggling to decide on a course...:cool:

    I would choose Trinity hands down as the best college to go to.

    Adding to that the fact it's the easiest to get to, which is really important for college life, it should really be your top choice.
