Do they party at DCU??

TailFeather

There's a course i really really really want to do in DCU next year but i've heard rumours that DCU isn't much of a party college so I'm a bit unsure of whether or not to go. What do you think?? Do they party in DCU???

You really really really want to do the course - very enthusiastic, but....

... you would consider not doing the course you really really really want to do because of a lack of PartyTime™ and "getting jiggy with it"?

You're not familar with the Three Billy Goats Gruff by any chance?

there is parties, yeah. and college is what you make of it, if you want there to be parties, there will be parties.

theres a few major events in dcu:
disorientation ball
freshers ball
socs ball (formal)
halloween ball
christmas ball
rag ball
celtic ball
summer ball

and then clubs and socs organise their own events. there tends to be some band on in the bar every thurs night and there's other random things - table quizzes and the like

If you want to do a course then do it. Stop trying to worry about other factors such as "omg, will there be super parties all day, every day that I can goto istead of lectures!!!"

Do the course you want to do. You will have a good time, just join clubs / soc's and go out and meet people. If you were to party all the time and never do any work you will probably feel as though you wasted a year when you end up having to repeat it.

honestly, there ain't no party like a dcu party.

of course there's parties, but to echo what everyone else said, the course is the most important thing.

lordy, i hadn't even been to dcu when i put it down on my cao form.

We should make a sticky telling young hopefulls to **** off.

Or maybe we could be nice about it and ask them to stop posting asking if there is craic.

So many threads in this forum have this line it. Gettin sick of hearing. People should just look at all the other "is DCU any fun" threads and maybe the same stuff doesnt have to be written over and over.

By the rugbug thats not a dig at you but at the people who keep asking the same stupid question

Heh, or we could just point them in the direction of these rather moany replies when they ask if DCU is any fun :P... seems to have had a very positive effect on you people !

maybe we should make a sticky with the one line "college is what you make of it"

That should sort out the "is DCU any fun" debate
