What is this? Fisher Price "My First Trolling"? If that was your best attempt to unnerve and embarrass me off the internet forever, it was rather cute.
As for the basics of an affluent lifestyle, I live on a very golf course surrounded by the impaled peasants who had previously challenged my witty repartee.
With this in mind:WITHDRAW!

I'm just posting to say that "I live on a very golf course" is one of the finest phrases I've ever read anywhere. I'm gonna steal that and use it in arguments when I want to ensure I have the upper hand.

If you can afford it you'd be better served by going to one of the redbricks or ancients in the UK. Better career prospects, and you'd widen your horizons too.

Unfortunately, that seems to be the major issue for a lot of people my age

Are Trinity classes small?

3 foot - 6' 5" in height from my experience. As for the male members, that's a matter of discretion.

Surely you mean the male members' members?

To answer the actual question, it can vary according to discipline and type of class:

Humanities lecture - up to 200 in a huge class like English, down to 15-20 in a small specialised Sophister course. Smaller schools, smaller classes.

Humanities tutorial - usually about 10.

Sciences lecture - same as humanities, more likely to tend toward larger classes though.

Sciences tutorial - can often be 40-50 people.

These numbers are totally eyeballed, but might give you a rough idea.

You can actually have over a hundred if you're in general science; the departments don't seem to believe in checking each others timetables when scheduling tutorials, meaning there's usually only one slot per week that actually suits the majority of students...

I don't doubt it! Was just drawing on my own memories of Chemistry tutorials.

It is worth it though, you will get a better education there than here. Studying abroad is a great experience too.

That's all well and good if you can afford it. If you can afford it, go for it! However, that's not always the case.

Is it trolling if the target audience know you're not serious, though?

Aaaaanyway, back on topic.

Yeah, some of the courses can be a bit cliquey, but most of them only appear to be, since they've a lot of similar people who spend a lot of time together. Most love to have new members, which to me disqualifies them from being properly cliquey.

Both TrollHammaren and myself did Psychology, so feel free to ask us anything you like about that.

From doing psycholody what careers would you develop?

You could go on and do further research in psychology, you could work as a researcher or a research assistant professionally, you could go into any sort of business career, you could go a clinical route and become a counselor or other directly-helping role, you could work on social programmes to help people...

Most college courses aren't vocational, like accountancy. This is despite what most people seem to think. The next person who asks me exactly what I'm qualified to do once I'm finished college is getting a roasting in my internal monologue.

Definitely not. The entire campus is a hologram.
