    I'm applying for medicine next year at TCD. I was wondering if anyone doing Medicine could tell me what the timetable is like? How long are the days? When do lectures usually start and finish? I live in Wicklow and need to know whether I should move into Dublin or not.

    Generally 9-5, with some hour breaks here and there, and half days some Thursdays in first year. I'll send you the second year time table if you send me your email (pretty sure that's legal..).

    I live in Wicklow too, and commute. It's tedious but saves 5000 a year. Just be prepared for potential 6am alarms if you have a 9am lecture

    You could definitely commute for 1st and 2nd med. It's a bit of a different story from 3rd year on though, because you're on placement all over the gaff at all hours.

    For example, some surgery in Tallaght begins at 7 30 am, or 7am in James's. And you can end up doing nights in 4th year for Obs/Gynae as far as I'm aware, so living far away isn't really a great option, unless you get a car and find more hours in the day in which to sleep.
