My Experience at WIT....

    All started with a recommendation from a friend ..an ex student of WIT ,who went on about how lovely the school was.

    I applied to 4 universities in the UK and 3 in Ireland.
    The Universities of Warwick,Sheffield,Nottingham and Bristol in the Uk
    UCD,UL and WIT in Ireland.

    I got admission to 5 of them except UL.I was asked to attend an interview in only one of them, WIT which I attended early june and I was pleasantly surprised at the level of quality,friendliness of the school.I have lived in Ireland for sometime and my experience at Waterford was unbelievable...everyone I met said hello as opposed to most parts of Ireland ..and most parts of the world to be honest.

    I found it difficult locating the interview room...and yet I was actually escorted by a member of staff to the right location...which I honestly would have thought impossible.The interviewers were calm,straight to the point and very professional.

    I have not heard anything yet...but even in the event that I am not accepted...I would carry with me a very lovely memory of how an higher institution should ideally be...and if I am accepted I would definitely and absolutely have no difficulties in making a choice.


    Kudos to WIT...

    lol i agree,

    i can't believe that's a genuine testament to WIT, seems more like a representative of WIT.

    Nah, I would imagine he is genuine. I'm assuming they cleaned up the open days as it was never something that would have got excellent feedback in the past. I give him until January till he comes back with a different comment!

    Dont mind us, just joking around. WIT is a decent college, great craic but just sometimes can be very poor organisation wise. Improved a lot though. Nothing to be worried about, you will enjoy your time in WIT - great choice!
