In my experience the majority of students are 'aethiest'. Lots of Catholics, Protestants, Methodists, Presbreyterians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists etc. knocking around though.

In the upper echelons of academia, it is fair to say there were a lot of protestants (again going by personal experience as there are no real statistics on this). Of course lots of the newly appointed academics come from abroad e.g. Russia, Asia, US etc. and would bring with them different faiths. Some people say a secret protestant 'golden circle' exists, but I've seen no evidence of this. There's also stories about lots of high ranking members of the university being in the freemasons.

The Fellows were traditionally staunch Protestants (and still pray to Queen Elizabeth each evening at dinner), but this is no longer the case. Whilst they might stand and pray each evening, for many it is just for reasons of tradition and not religion.

University life is very diverse in 2005.

Are you implying that people in tcd are snobbish and HAVE got poles up their asses.
In fairness you can't really comment without having experienced the place properly.
You'll get from trinity whatever you put into it, so make an effort and you'll get on grand.

You are going to be unpleasently suprised if you think that is the case in UCD. Out of all the colleges, the one i've heard most people complaining about with regards snobbishness is UCD.

Well I think I do have a bit of knowlede with regards to U.C.D and Trinity seeing as one of my brothers did a degree in U.C.D and one just got a masters from Trinity. I know a lot of people comlain about U.C.D but tbh I found the 6th year open day to be really useful! I accounted snobby attitutes in the politics stand. Where when I asked what are the job prospectus I was told I could always get a job in Mc Donalds!! How encouraging??!! In other open days most students try to sell the course but obviously no in the politics area! We'll see who will be working in Mc Donalds when I'm president! lol!

A complete misconception in my opinion, I didn't find any of the staff or students at TCD snobby in any way, although I'm only going on open day impressions.

According to the OECD, DCU are second behind trinity w.r.t. academia and quality of graduates.

The staff and students in Trinity are all very friendly and very approachable. We carry off our superiority with a breeze, and don't force it down people's necks or up their asses, for that matter. Trinity is a genuinely friendly and homely place in contrast to UCD in particular. DCU, in my opinion, is the most friendly of the newer universities. I haven't any experience of Cork or Galway.

CS comes under the engineering and system sciences school in tcd.

But yeah if you're gonna raise a flag and go us against them. It's us, engineers (including cs) and health sci against arts and bess.

Go economics! You'll fly at economics if you're mathematical; and maths and physics is just gay for four years. Vary it a bit.

That was something of a joke, although it is always prudent to remember that there may be serious divarications in context in even the funniest of jokes.

I was talking to a friend of mine who is currently a student in BESS in trinity. I told her my story of the two representatives of Politics. I explained to her that the fourth year students were pompous and belittling (bear in mind these were the only two). She admitted grudgingly that indeed those in politics could be stuck up. I then thought carefully and realised it is very presumptuous of me to think that every person in Trinity is snobby. When in fact the area I would like to pursue - Pharmacy contained the nicest people. I also took into consideration that by the time I had reached the open day it was 1 pm, most visitors were leaving or just stragglers and naturally, representatives were tired. So overall I feel that both U.C.D and Trinity come very close and of course, I will be choosing the course I wish to pursue over the free stuff (free stuff is fun though you know!). So I retract my comment I had earlier made that all trinners have poles stuck up their Assses!
