Well Im in Pharmacy and study is the last thing on my mind! Besides unless you know the entire Pharmacy class it isnt really a point you can comment on:rolleyes:

SS Pharmacy guy here and I have to disagree. For a course as hard as it is, we get up to plenty of madness. Come along to any wine reception organised by Pharm Soc and you'll see what i mean

It's true.

Pharmacy students are absolutely the worst of the students in Trinity, in my experience. Worse even than first year engineers. They're parochial, small-minded, vapid little *****; they're the kinds of students who always go home to the country every weekend and never get involved with student life in any way, because they have a collective chip on their shoulder towards medical students, Trinity, Dublin and the rest of the student body.

Their education is wasteful and unnecessary, because most of them will return from the backwater that produced them, to become glorified shopkeepers. Their minds will not have been opened or enriched by their time in a university environment, of course, because they remain as intellectual imbeciles for the entirety of their time in college, and pointedly refuse any opportunities for cognitive development. They hoard biochemistry and physiology textbooks so that they can learn off whatever notes they need to pass their Mickey Mouse exams, but they don't gain a broader understanding of biological sciences from that. They occasionally look back with frustration on their time in school; had they gotten the extra 30-40 points, they would be studying medicine, but it is in everyone's interest that they remain where they are and do not attempt to practise something which is beyond their cognitive faculties.

They're filthy little perverts, too; have you ever seen the state of the pharmacy toilets? The walls are streaked with the cum and obscenities of the sexually frustrated males, who can only dream of something better than masturbating while listening to someone defecate. Sadly, it is the beginning of a life that will be marked by long periods of stagnation punctuated by occasional episodes of sexual depravity. The females are no better, and are mainly of the "lie back and think of Ireland" brigade; the only reason many of them try having sex [usually with some poor, unsuspecting science student who doesn't realise he can do better] is so that they can get some experience with the condoms they'll go on to sell with a holier-than-thou smirk to the farmers that visit their shops.

They're absolutely repulsive and abhorrent, in short.

Very good observation... but what is it that you have against pharmacy students? Is it all pharmacy students or just trinity ones?

Stick to the original topic. Unhelpful posts will be edited/deleted.

Well since I'm a Trinity Pharmer I think Ill weigh in on this sh**e topic....

What in god's name are you talking about OP? My class goes out more than any other course I know and that's a fact. We have tons of hours and like to blow off steam and we do for sure?

Wine receptions?...plentiful in terms of frequency and wine consumption.
Class trips are generally anarchy and the mystery tour is always a write off...

In fact we're heading to London in 3 weeks for a spur of the moment weekend session cos flights were cheap..then onto Edinburgh and the Pharm Ball...

I would never have dreamed that I'd have the need to be saying what I just did because all my friends in other courses know that we go out tons..far more than them...and this isn't just my year..its all years of Pharmacy...

Whoever said something about a chip on the shoulder towards meds...wake up..the huge majority of my class have the points for med if they so desired to do in the first place....

Aye thats him I was talking about. I wouldnt be a great friend of his now. Met him randomly at the biosoc pubcrawl in first year and we ended up in barcode (shivers).
I was chatting to him the last day and he told me he just missed out passing the super supplementals so I thought it might be yourself. Nice chap.

Plenty people aren't from Dublin but I don't really think that is your point, is it? You seem to have a chip on your shoulder about pharmacy. Every course has roughly the same distribution of country people. I myself am from rural Donegal. Yet I don't go home every single weekend due to some chip on my shoulder. I love Dublin and I love the college life and there are many more pharmacists in my year who don't return to the country every weekend.

This is very untrue. The majority of pharmacy students have the points for medicine. In my first year 4 people left to do med. So the ones who stayed are doing pharmacy for a reason. As for why we would have a chip on our shoulder about Trinity and Dublin doesn't make any sense. Why we would come to this college and city if we didn't want to be part of it? We had options to go elsewhere.

As for not getting involved in student life, this is just sh*t. I have been class rep twice and President of a society as well. Pharmacy students I know have been Health Science Convenyor, on the committe for Chess Soc, International Students Soc, Rifle Club, GAA and Camogie. How we don't get involved in college life, i don't know.

This is a baseless argument. We do a difficult, scientific course, so of course we learn our core information. I don't see how you can classify pharmacy students as intellectual imbeciles without any knowledge of their interests, hobbies, or intellectual pursuits. It is pure conjecture on your part.

What, in your opinion classifys as cognitive development in this context?

Has been dealt with before. I myself, for example, had the points for Medicine but i chose pharmacy. I believe myself and many others in my course would be perfectly able to study a degree in medicine. Two of my class are going on to do medicine.

Yes, because the Hamilton/Arts Block toilets are such bastions of cleanliness and wholesome pursuits. The pharmacy toilets have never had glory holes.

Couldn't disagree more. Some of the best people I have ever met in my life have been in pharmacy. I hate the way that students in this college feel that people doing high points course like Pharmacy/Dentistry/Medicine are just monkeys that just learn information off and aren't having a wider intellectual learning. It's a load of boll**cks and some of the smartest most interseting people you could meet are in pharmacy. Open your mind a little, get rid of your pretentious, condescending attitude and maybe you would see something better.

Well said fearcruach!

bollick

right well the one thing i have to say about all this is i personally believe that people doing pharmacy are remarkable students.
i opened the thread in light hearted fashion just to see peoples opinions and have a discussion.
as for the chip on their shoulder debate anyone working in the health industry would gladly tell that this idea MDs have about themselves being oh so great is rubbish pharmacist's interpretations of ridiculous and negligent prescribing by over-glorified supposed health professionals saves hoards of lives each day.

Thats total bull**** bollick! Pharmacists are overpaid self-important egotistical businessmen who make a link sale to every single ailment or query! And i heard the PSI or IPU or someone is trying to ban the sale of paracetamol from supermarkets!! HELLO! Ca-ching for the pharmacies!!

beachball guy i apologise for giving an opinion but did you know that there are more cases of para-suicide (that's paracetamol suicide you cabbage) and OTC medicines overdosing in the US each year than road deaths, strikes me as a prevalent issue especially with the increasing ignorance of health ministers

maybe they're doing it because the thought of working 100 hours shifts during the week isn't actually that appealing?! twas my reason for not doing med!

i have to agree with you, i know two people currently in the ssame class in pharmacy that got 800 leaving cert points and neither have any interest in med, i believe it's a personal choice rather than a short coming

Thread locked. I'll deal with it later.
