    Just start your own clique. With blackjack...and hookers.
    In fact, forget the clique.

    Oh dear...

    If I were reading some of the content in this thread and was in the same position as the OP, which I'm not (I just finished 1'st year DCU), then I'd think there was something wrong in DCU. Most probably I would refrain from going into DCU and have some serious thought of my CAO.

    OP - don't worry, DCU is very normal. Externally, I can't really compare DCU to any other college because I haven't been in any other universities. Anyhow, it is very difficult to compare colleges because truly anything can happen in college and you can do anything you want.

    Internally, and at the same time a personal opinion, I have to agree on a previous comment made - DCU is very laid back. I'd mention some other things I noticed. In general, 99% of the staff are there to help you. They will help you as much as they can such that you get good results in the summer. The hub is pretty crap to be honest, during the day nothing really happens there. Upstairs you have a whole load of bureaucratic administrators of the student union. With that being said, you have the nu bar downstairs which has a really good atmosphere. During the night, and in special events, the SU transform the hub into different kind of settings like crap-all that comes out of your imagination. The clubs and societies are a really good way to get to know new people from all kind of courses in DCU. Yes, you will inevitably join the same club/soc that your friend is joining but have high expectations and take every opportunity. The canteen is woeful in my opinion. The helix, the spar, and the coffee shop under the library are serious contenders to be your number one lunch place. Campus is great, it has good sporting facilities (at a price) and a really big park right around the corner.

    If you want to have a good time in DCU, or in any college for that matter, just get involved.
