English Studies in TCD or Architecture in UCD?

    What's crackin bordz,

    The spelling errors were a joke by the by. Anyway, I am going into my first year of college, I am 18 and I'm stuck.

    I did my Leaving Cert in 2013 and got 620 and took a year out after deferring my place in Law. I have widdled it all down to a few options, the main ones being English Studies (TCD) and Architecture (UCD). A few other options I have been contemplating have been English Lit. with; Philosophy, History of Art and Architecture, History, and Psychology (all in TCD).

    I really feel that Trinity is the place for me. It's just amazing, but I feel I could see a lot more/go more places with a Masters in Architecture from UCD than with English in TCD. I don't hate UCD, but I just don't feel it's as good compared to TCD. A better job may result, and being an Architect is something that I would like. Saying that, I'm very interested in the Arts.

    Not so much about deciding what I want to do as opposed to deciding what I want to do most.

    Would love some input from anyone with any opinion on degrees or universities. Would love if those who have done English in TCD or Architecture in UCD could reply.

    I hope to live in Japan at some point, feeling Architecture could make that more possible. Who knows!

    Yea, but it shouldn't be possible to get between 615 and 625.

    Have you considered DIT for Architecture? Don't knock it, it's highly rated.
