BESS students

Its over rated. In every course in trinity is people who went to Belvedere and Gorgonzaga - and they like to be known. I met this really pathetic pair one time on a night out in freshers week where they came wearing their school uniforms just so everyone would know! I didn't as I'm a bogger myself which shocked them! It was reeeaaallly funny......

Then there's the rest who are sound. Regarding stereotypes, I study medicine and we are perceived as arrogant, aloof, nerds who are a clique to our own. I certainly break most of that mould.

It is really the course that counts, for all its slagging, BESS in trinity is nearly the best you can get - you will meet all sorts no matter what you do and good people and bad. Get to know the good ones and treat the **** with the contempt they deserve. Get out and about too and meet people in other courses (join a few societies etc.... I am waiting for the Sci Fi crew to make their firm recommendations..... )

I take Kevins advice to heart myself and have shut quite a few yapps who called me a bogger!

Or if you must stick with people from your own, makesure they're boggers and northsiders.

hurrah for the boggers!!

If that's the case then I am one.. 5 mins walk from kildare I am. Though I consider myself a dubliner.

Hi Gentleman,

You could be right, BESS in someways is probably the only course in Trinity that can be precieved as a semi-extention of school for the twaats that wants it that way. Its probably down to the fact that 1st year is a common first year.
The number of D4/Blackrock-(in your face types) is actually a minority. Its just that they are so bloody annoying you might think otherwise. I'm in 2nd year in BESS and I did a year of Computer SCience before transferring into BESS. I'm mostly 3-4 years older than the average class mate so I don't really socialise with my year at all. But I wouldn't worry about that. Your Class isn't really important. Its a bonus if your studying a course with poeple you get along with, not a necessity. The Societies, Clubs and Cults of college are much much more fun for socialising and in many ways that is the primary place for it.

If your going to enter BESS with the mind set of avoiding D4/Dort types then you will be entering college with a closed mind. Just because they might look/sound like a 'Dort' doesn't mean that it could be you sole mate or a friend that you will have for life. Keep an open mind about it all.

If all else fails. SIt up the front and avoid the annoyance

just outa interest how many people are 'boggers' here?

I'm a purebred meath/kerry mucksavage.

kildare, well naas, but i dont like this 'bogger' word...thats like farms and stuff and that aint me so..!!
lesson of the day: you can be whatever you want to be

If by serious you mean pink and orange, and that they just look on college as a stepping stone to get into daddy's company. Then yes, they would have a higher percentage of these serious girls.
