    As a former froebelobian all i can say is dont go there if u want any normal college life- too far out of town no real buzz around the place- to be honest it was more like secondary school than college:mad: PM for details if wanted.

    As an ex student I would say avoid like the plague. Even the staff are dropping like flies, I think they've lost 7 in a year! It's tiny, and like a secondary school. Lack of space, resources, social life etc etc...

    Time table is TCD lectures every monday.
    Tues - Thurs 9.10 - 4.00
    Fri - 9.10 - 1.00

    I think that's it. Lectures are like classes in secondary school. Even laid out like classrooms not lecture halls and you might get a few free classes if you're lucky. Usually a packed day though with a little and big break.

    Subjects:
    English Lit, Gaeilge, Maths, Theology
    English methods, Modhanna muinte na Gaeilge, Maths methods, RE
    SESE (hist/geog/sci)
    Drama, Visual art, music, Early Childhood Ed, Spec Ed
    SPHE, ICT, PE
    Intercultural ed
    Professional Development
    TCD Modules: Hist of Ed, Phil of Ed, child psych, Lang dev, Soc of Ed

    You get a ton of assignments and exams too.

    Teaching Practices are in Oct - Nov (Dublin) and March - April (Home) for 3 weeks and 1 prep week. Observation week in September.

    There are a few after school club org things like Hip hop, choir, sports team, religious stuff. Most nights out start in the seomra caidreamh for wine/ cans, pizza and a sing song then off to Coppers to get pissed n score some garda hick.

    I completely disagree, I'm in the college currently and I love it! The social life is only crap if you don't go out during week with friends and just to college things. I find the lecturers very helpful and the lectures very informative and relative to teaching. As a person who also has an experience with St. Pats I can say that I prefer this college and had never had any doubts on the course.

    im also a current student and think froebel is a very good college. large lectures wouldn't be very helpful for most of the classes done in Froebel, teaching isn't the same as a course like arts where huge lectures can work.
    i've made amazing friends in Froebel and we have a great social life. when i was going about choosing which college i wanted to go friends from other teaching colleges advised me to go for Froebel not their respective colleges.
    Froebel gives you the best of both worlds a large college experience in Trinity and the smaller college in Blackrock.
