Transferring to Trinity

    I'm thinking of transferring to Trinity College next year as I'm currently not settling in Maynooth. Can anyone offer an unbiased view on life in Trinity outside the usual stereotypes? I have friends in Trinity and know Dublin city pretty well so wouldn't mind the 'big city' aspect.

    The course I would be transferring into is the BESS. I hear this has quite a bad reputation. Is it justified or just another stupid Trinity stereotype?

    Also, what would my chances of getting Trinity halls accommodation be? It says on their website that if you apply with friends, you are more likely to get in, is this true?

    It's just another stuipd stereotype. Yeah there are people who are that stereotype, but most people are excellent. You'll make friends outside your course via societies too, so even if your class were crap that need not matter at all.

    When you have a class size of 250, the probability of all of them being dickheads converges towards zero.
    BESS attracts all sorts!
