    Having been around DCU for the last few open days I know how much craic and buzz there is on campus for these days. I'd recommend any one who is interested in studying in DCU should come and see the university at first hand before they make their CAO choices.

    not all of them, but there will be some around, there'll also be talks from the Student's Union on surviving University Life to watch out for.

    I'm going on the Saturday, selling my PC while I'm up there as well. Followed by a concert.

    Good day all around. :)

    why wouldn't you wanna study in DCU? 25 metre swimming pool, elite gym, the only university library to win a quality award, top 300 university in the world, the helix, over 100 clubs and socs covering everything from sports, drama, debate and watching Home and Away. A reputation so good that a past taoiseach papers are now being given to the university.

    I have my mind 90 % set on either of two courses which I think would be best for me. Theo Physics or Science in TCD. This year I'm gonna do the open days and make my mind up for sure rather than next year taking days off in Leaving Cert. As I said, I'm just really checking it off my list more than anything else

    Well lads, what did you think of the Open Day and of DCU? I really liked it myself, I had been there before and Saturday just showed me again that its a really nice place. Not too bag, not too small. Modern facilites-sports centre and library are awesome! The only negative point I'd have about it is the on-campus accomadation-the apartments in Larkfield are tiny!

    Was underwhelmed myself. Campus had no character to it and it felt a bit dead to me.

    ^I thought the campus had a really good feel to it, and there's everything you need there.
    ^^Tbh I preferred the larkfield apartments to hampstead, because the bedroom had more space, you don't really need a kitchen any bigger than whats there, and seeing as myself and some friends are looking at getting a house in 2nd after we get to know some people, maybe find someone to share with, the common room will help for 1st year to get to know other people.
    I got a great insight into the Computer Applications course, and would be quite happy ti pick that now, but I'm still going to some other open days.

    If you went on Saturday, then yeah, it was dead. No students around.

    Friday was hoppin'!

    @ Sligo - theo physics in trinity is a great course, and in no way rivalled by either of the 3 physics courses on offer in dcu. best of luck with it, hope you get it. but maybe throw a look at the new medical physics course ;) v. interesting with excellent job prospects at the end of it.
