    Correct, most graduates are superior to non-graduates.:D

    Since when was university not part of reality anyway? Hogwarts is just in a movie you know.

    Don't worry. I'm grand no matter what.

    Well then I despair...

    Such a bunch of superior, arrogant, twats I have not seen outside of a pre school.

    I wonder how the sudden impact on reality, once you leave the sheltered halls of academia, will impact on the rest of your lives.

    I was tempted to say 'silence, pleb' but I was worried he wouldn't get the irony.

    Because "sports science" is of great intellectual importance to the future of humanity. If I had a penny for every gym-goer I see on various popular TV shows who fancies an easy body beautiful by getting a job in the local gym, I'd be a rich man.
    .

    You clearly dont understand what sports science is.

    And your clearly a ****ing knob hahahaha.

    Before this continues, we all realise that measuring a college's quality through the actions of one or two alumni is retarded, right?

    Look there are many people in Fianna Fáil who went to UCD and Trinity and there are even more in the opposition.

    He was only there until 2004. It was Cowen and Bertie who did nothing after he left.

    ROFL. And Cowen and Bertie went to UCD! (at least one of them did anyway).

    Bertie Ahern claims he went to UCD and the London School of Economics but neither of the universities have records to suggest that he was ever enrolled as a student - i.e., he lied.

    You're either an extreme right-wing catholic or upper-class disgruntled protestant who doesn't like to engage in common chitter-chatter.

    I seem to recall hearing how Mary Harney got some in the Phil/Hist during her time there. Don't think that's a plus for Trinity though.

    Great. A €25k a year job in a multinational. You even get to admire the view of the industrial estate from the "coffee station".

    Trinity college graduates are all getting into Computer Science to do what then? Run daddy's company? Or does the history of computer science lead to work in MacDonalds?

    UL may have dumbed down but it's electronic engineering course was one of the toughest anywhere. I have worked in Silicon Valley with UL people and Stanford people, Trinners graduates are not really expected to work after college I guess. Unless it is law.
