    Hi, i'm currently in 6th year in school in Cork and am trying to decide whether to to go to UCC in Cork or UCD in Dublin. People in Cork have said UCC is excellent and a good night life but i would love to know what Dublin is like. I've been living in cork for the last 17 years and really love it here but I would love to know is it worth while going to Dublin for college and getting the proper experience? If any current students could could offer me some thoughts and views it would be much appreciated. Thanks

    New experiences are always worth it. Moving away from home is a grear opportunity to meet a huge range of new people and get some independence. But th most important thing is whether or not you'll like your course. If you dont like what you're studying then the whole point of college is defeated and you won't enjoy it. See what the course content in UCC is like and compare it to trinity. Your ultimate decision should come down to that. What do you plan on studying btw?

    Night life in dublin is what you make of it. There's enough people and so many different things to see and do, and different places to go and pass out in that if you are bored by it you only have yourself to blame.

    So many night clubs, from packed and cheap (in more ways than one) to laid back but expensive.

    Dont like night clubs? There's pubs of all different sizes, shapes and sorts.

    Dont like pubs? Student societies have things on during the week, join everything that interests you or that you think might interest you and you will never be bored. There's always something on everyday of the week. Get out and get involved. This last one applies if you go to cork too btw.

    There's not much else to say really. Apart from why are you asking about UCD in the TCD forum. :rolleyes:

    The course I want to do is Engineering of some sort which is available in both colleges so it's just a matter of choice which college to go for. Most of the people in my school want to go to Dublin too so finding friends to stay in contact with shouldn't be a problem. I'm a big sporting person so that would influence my choice too. I just don't know whether it would be worth while spending more money each year in Dublin when i could get just as good in Cork for less you know?!!
