    Hi all,

    I am interested in applying for law at trinity as a mature student. I was hoping someone could give me an idea of the lecture class sizes?

    I ask because I initially many moons ago I went to UCD as an Arts student and ended up dropping out due to the sheer number of people in the lecture halls and feeling like a number not a person etc...

    I feel I perform better in smaller environments..

    Thanks for any info!

    100 in the lectures (give or take), and 10 in the tutorial groups (goes into topics in more detail, but don't happen as often).

    Try land law in 2nd year on a cold 9 o'clock Friday morning... there's about 30 or so "dedicated" group of people that come...

    But 100 in general is the average for first year.

    I'm in first year law and there's just short of 100 people here. The lectures would be nowhere near as large as Orts UCD thankfully, and obviously not everybody's going to show up anyway. You should have no problem with the lecture sizes.

    Hi,

    Go to a lecture in the arts block and talk to the lecturer. They usually have time and will be helpful.

    Talking to and getting to know each of the lecturers on the coure you attend is nearly vital especially for mature students. I did a Evening Degree in Computer Science.

    Also contact the mature students society, they will be happy to talk.

    Having people to talk to while there, where ever there is, will make sure you will not feel like a number. Even young people feel this too.

    Good luck!
