What college are you going to?

fizzyorange

Hey everyone.
Just a bit curious about where other people want to go after the big ol' LC. I'm a fan of NUIG myself, but haven't heard of anyone else wanting to go there. UCD seems to be the favourite of the mass majority, but that might just be in my school. So where do you want to go?

Togepi

UL!! Hopefully anyway.

I know almost no one going there though.

fizzyorange

Yeah, you're in the same boat as me so! Where are you heading to UL from? I'm going to NUIG (hopefully!) from Dublin. Bit of a trek alright. :P

I'm from the west of Ireland but it's still a long enough journey for me too! Most of my mates are either in Galway or are heading there next year. :P

If I get a miricale and get enough points for my dream course it'll be tcd (or possibly nuig). The more likely option is ucd

finality

Either Trinity or university of Edinburgh.

Mysteriouschic

Northumbria(Newcastle) or DCU . I really hope it's the first .

It depends on what I get in my CAO, it could be Trinity, or NUIG Dunno about Trinity though. People only have bad things to say about Dublin up here, which makes it difficult to make an informed decision about where to go to college :rolleyes: But at least the travel time to Dublin and Galway is basically the same, makes things a wee bit easier :P

NUIM do doubt about it. Have it as the only option on the CAO, so i'll be either going to NUIM or not at all!

+1 for NUIM! After the open day I was sure that was where I wanted to go! Plus UCD and TCD just felt way to impersonal for me. They're more like cities within cities imho!

NUIM is class! What you hoping to do? HOPE TO GOD I get offered River though! Did you see the state of Rye?

biohaiid

UCD OR NUIG, hopefully
Maybe Queens Belfast if it comes to it.

fizzyorange

+1 for NUIM
Lovely campus, lovely people and it sure has one fantastic joint arts degree.

Boeing777

+2 for NUIM Love the feel of the place and the campus itself is really nice!

Beware

Hopefully I'll also be heading to NUIM next year! Out of all the universities I visited, NUIM seemed the most friendly. I was actually surprised that I liked it so much.

BBL Law & Business for me .....



Nah, just joking :pac: I'm doing Science Education hopefully! The course is quite small with only 30 places so another reason to choose NUIM! Some may see it as a disadvantage but personally I think it will be a great way to make good, close friends!

Cute is a good way to describe it . NUIM was the only university where I could actually imagine myself going.

And I'm doing Arts! My subjects are Medieval Irish and Celtic Studies, History and English.

Flabangav

UCD hopefully I have a whole bunch of colleges down though

irishdub14

Trinners are winners

leaveiton

Trinity is at no. 1, Maynooth is then at numbers 2 - 6, so it'll be there if I don't get Trinity. I'd be happy with Maynooth but I don't really love it as much as a lot of people do. I'd much prefer Trinity.

Thats what I originally wainted to do but with Greek and Roman Civilization Studies instead of Medieval Irish and Celtic Studies! But then I saw the Music Tech course and I was just like 'F**k that!' :pac:

Don't reaaally know:o
At the moment I'm looking to do either Maths or Science of some sort but that could well make for a boring enough career.
Maybe Theoretical physics in Tcd or Actuarial science in Did.
I have an interest in English so maybe journalism would be a good one, but I think only dcu offer that.
I'm also pretty fluent in Irish but I can't imagine ever using that.'

UCC!

ChemHickey

NUIG!

It has the only course I like in Ireland!

LoonyLovegood

NUIG or NUIM. One means I'm a 20 minute train away. The other means I'm a 3 1/2 hour bus away...guess which I want?

I'm like a 57 minute Train ride from NUIM. And the nearest Train is about a 10 minute drive away! HANDY CENTRAL! :P

I'm always the first to give out to those who say that Trinity students are snobs, but it's people like you who give it that reputation.

Killian In The Name Of

Really looking into UCC at the moment!

Where do you live? One of my best friends wants to do CL in NUIG too, and we live half an hour from it too. Although I don't think you're him since you're a girl.
