Trinity's reputation and our student lives being slated..

I speak in reference to this:
http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?p=3935545

Wild misconceptions and dumb presumptions being irresponsibly flouted about our dear college and it's student life, by foreigner and brethren alike.

I know my limits and am fairly incapable of answering some of these accusations. So I call for some help. I've seen the insane amount of knowledge some of you have about our college and the courses therein. I speak of course of people like Xeducat, ISAW and all you SU heads.

John2, I look for people like yourself etc to speak well of our lives here in Dublin and trinity. You have a light-hearted banter with a convincing edge to it.

Sign up an account and counter these outrageous slurs on the college's and our reputation.

I may give it a look later but see the rant/bitch/moan thread for what's preoccupying me of late.

Indeed, you gotta have your priorities straight. Maybe you should stop posting on boards too though. Want me to stand behind you with a whip? Might help with the productivity. I don't charge that much, honest

John

No, I might get TOO distracted

That would make sense considering he's french.

What about yer wan (the irish bird) who says dublin is "small" and "banal"? its small compared to london, manchester paris. But far from tiny....

And I know it's a lot of things, but Banal!!!? I've never even heard a cork person accuse it of being that..

Chardee MacDennis

i agree, if he could spell properly it would help in a counter argument but hey, he seems full of crap considering he says at the end somesuch about everything not being true, waste of time replying imho!!

I think she's been reading too much Kavanagh lately Apexaviour

i mean, i dont especially like dublin, but i've been in much worse cities like.

Banal was probably her new word for the week. Although, if you don't like crappy dance-pop-r'n'b, there isn't a whole lot of selection wrt nightlife in Dublin. And it's mainly pub-based. Those would be my biggest criticisms.

Crash

aye, i'd have to agree with you. but every now and then you come across something or somewhere fun - its just kinda rare.

Crash

I posted. i was nice. i dont know what came over me

She's right about the fees being cheap, EU students don't have to pay the registration fee (think its because its actually a charge or something). 75th in the world ain't really that great especially if you think Trinity is the best university in Ireland. Think that they probably introduced the 4 A level system because so many northeners do law here (think thats sort of because as far as i know you can practice in the UK with a law degree from the Republic but not vice versa), in my wee brothers school the majority of them are doing 4 a-levels.
Would like to nominate Dublin as being the second worst city in the world to be hungover in (London 1st) due to cold,greyness of everything,expense of hangover essentials like Lucozade/another drink, and the large amounts of scumbags to set off overwhelming amounts of paranoia.

pisses me off, waiting for authorisation before pouring in the vitriol

Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking. What do you know about nightlife if you haven't even been to college yet.

Also, what's the story with studying Law abroad? How does that work with regards practicing in Ireland?

Is there not some sort of compatibility?

I probably know less about Trinity than any other Trinity student you'll ever meet. I go to my lectures and then leave. I'm not a big fan of the place. But I don't agree with the slating it got there. My course is amazing and I'm proud to be a Trinity student. Even if it is only a year.

Jealousy.

They're just pissed off they lost the empire and that we're far superior to them. Fools. If the c.unt could write legible english it might be possible to reply. As it is, he seems like the brit tabloid mother that found out about a "paediatrician" living on her road. If the individual in question was an arts student, I'm sure we'd get some sort of pompous (but possibly semi reasoned) argument in properly written english. A science type would realise we're 75th in the world rankings in that particular dicipline and not rattle off that little speech and I'd imagine engineers have no interest in coming here anyway. So it looks like our "bruv" here is just some class of anti-irish turd trying to put some kiddies off headin over. Dunno where they got the social life thing from though, personal experience would suggest otherwise. Maybe his mother smoked heavily prior to his birth or the poor lamb hit his head.

Absolutely spot on, I'll wager


By the way, does anyone know what this ****e here is supposed to mean??

how dare they have a so-called "dublin business school" that only require about 150 cao points for each course (the true irish business school is : SMURFIT)(ucl&trinity : about 450 points)

Although to be honest, some of the points s/he argues are so hilariously misinformed that I honestly can't tell if s/he's actually serious or just trolling (Do people actually come that thick? )

Right, ClareBear's coming out to the next beers. come on

snorlax

sounds like a lot of muppetry going on and she dosn't sound like she knows what's she talking about anyway, the only real way she could is if she attended it herself and knew first hand what it's like...
