UCD science VS. TCD science.

    I'm a Leaving Cert student and I'm wondering if anyone has any input as to which of the aforementioned courses are better a better degree.
    The UCD science degree seems to be on par with, if not better than the Trinity College one, but that is just what I have gathered from looking at rather biased information, from each respective college.
    Does anyone know which is better, say from experience, or can anyone tell me how they found the course if anyone happens to be a current or past student?

    I'm looking to see which one I should put first on the CAO, I should probably add that they are both 515 points for entry so points isn't a factor. And I'm hoping to clear 515 by a good bit so points rising isn't something I need to bet against.

    Thanks for your time and energy, it means a lot.

    I have science in UCD down as number 1 on my CAO. The main reason is there are more degree options in UCD, in particular Trinity have no maths degree which is what I'm primarily interested in.

    I'm more biologically inclined myself, I want to specialise in Neuroscience and do Post Graduate Medicine. Both do the same biology disciplines, as far as I'm aware, or at least the ones I'm interested in.

    Are both as competitive for places though? In Trinity I know that electives have limited places.
