    The Lecturing standards are for the most part very good. It's the admin that drive the place down. bigtime.

    Do people not feel that its totally depends on the course you are doing, rather than a blanket verdict on the whole course?

    From my experience every single college/it/uni etc .has one or more particular course that is far and above what is offered by the others, I know when I did my degree in marketing in DIT it was the only pure marketing undergrad you could do, and when it came to interviews straight from college, anyone from our course far outshone people who had done business in dcu (for example) and specialised in marketing.

    Having said that, at the time, business studies in DCU was much more highly regarded than business studies in DIT, so I really think it depends on the course, and that is how people should pick their courses, not necessarily on the instute or college as a whole....

    I agree. I've personally have had bad experiences in DIT but I know many who have loved attending. Also DIT may get some criticisms from different campuses. One campus may be adequate, another could be great and another could be woeful. And this could be in only one area.

    I go to Kevin Street and I like it in some respects but needs improving in some areas.

    I do a night course in Ag. Street and for the most part my experience with DIT has been 4/5, the lecturers that I have are all great, the facilites are in need of upgrading (the girls bathrooms are rank, the canteen makes up its own hours at night sometimes its open in the break of my lectures sometimes its not and the staff there [well the ones I've dealt with] are so rude, seats in the class rooms breaking or in very ad condition), the porters (seems to come up a lot in the thread!) are so rude and cannot wait to kick us out after our class ends - its timetabled to end at 10pm but at about 9.40 they start with the bell noise saying the college is closing, ok yeah we get to get out early after a long day of work and study but at the same time thats 20mins of class we miss every week twice a week, registering and getting student cards for the majority of the class was a joke (I was luckly able to get mine before I started one day) the registeration office closes at lunch time and then closes before our classes start at night - bit silly for a night course no? - getting the timetable was a joke, it was emailed on the Friday night before starting on the Tuesday evening, I went up to the revelent department a week before class started and the girl in the office tried to tell me the course and stream I was talking about didn't exsit!! Also getting our exam results was a nightmare there was no communication about when they would be out or how to get them, it was pure chance that we met our course cord one day and she told us other than that nothing from the exam office themselves.

    So all in all its the admin in the college, a small number of staff (porters and canteen), and the registeration & exam office that my problem is with - other than that I have to say I love my course, the lecturers I have are all very helpful and the other people in my class are great too!

    Can anybody throw light on the European Msc food science program at DIT. I am planning to apply this year.

    Please let me know about the teaching standards, job opportunity and facilities to the students. Also how is the DIT campus at Kevin Street.

    Thank you
