Trinity or ucd. REASONABLE arguments please

pancakes rule · 08-09-2011 09:27PM #1

I rejected my first cao offer and my plan was to take a gap year and apply for arts in ucd. I wanted to do a double major in English and Irish. But I'm after getting my first choice in trinity in third round offers which was classical civilisations and modern Irish. As much as I love English I can't deny that I would love to do classical civilisations just as much. I think I kinda want to pick the university I'd have more fun at at this stage. Any advice?

Don't post threads that make me want to punch you in the neck?

TheZohanS · 08-09-2011 09:32PM

An Arts degree? Would you like fries with that?

flash1080 · 08-09-2011 09:32PM

REASONABLE?! ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH AFTER HOURS?

Go to Trinity. I used to pity my UCD friends when I saw their campus on a wet January evening when I had just come from lounging in armchairs and playing snooker in the GMB.

TCD has a better reputation, so go there. Besides, I went to Trinity so I must be right.

kate.m · 08-09-2011 09:40PM

Ucd is better for engineeing and medicine where as tinity seems to be better for English, history ect.

Personally I think the location of trinity is great but ucd seems to be better Craic. (opinion of friends)

I'd go to either ^^

py2006 · 08-09-2011 09:40PM

UCD looks like an awful depressing place!

swordofislam · 08-09-2011 09:43PM

Your folks must be minted.
Lucky sod.
Reasonable suggestion.

Organise a fashion show for freshers girls and sleep with as many as you can.

Obviously for a wealthy young person like yourself do whichever course you want.

I think UCD can afford armchairs and pool tables.

MagicSean · 08-09-2011 09:44PM

Arts degree? Sure do it online.

pq0n1ct4ve8zf5 · 08-09-2011 09:45PM

Goys, be reasonable loike.

08-09-2011 09:45PM

they're both ugly campuses

EmacB · 08-09-2011 09:47PM

Just started in ucd and i love it

MagicSean · 08-09-2011 09:48PM

If you live on campus or nearby then UCD. Otherwise Trinity.

alchemist33 · 08-09-2011 09:48PM

They're both good unis. From personal experience, Belfield is a bit bleak. You got offered your first choice. Go with it.

AnonoBoy · 08-09-2011 09:49PM

Ssshhh..... here's a big secret.

There's not much difference at all when you get down to it.

The kids that go to both colleges like to think there is, but there isn't.

They just have nothing else to feel superior about considering they're doing an Arts degree so they settle on a silly, pointless, laughable rivalry that everyone else mocks.

In fact the more fervently these petty little dears insist that one is better than the other, "oh loike OBVIOUSLY!" the more the rest of us find it amusing.

Ah gas craic altogether so it is

funk-you · 08-09-2011 09:50PM

Just use this, save yourself some time and go do something useful.

I go to ucd though, come here we'll have the bantz

Micky Dolenz · 08-09-2011 09:54PM

They'd be in town, yeah?

pancakes rule · 08-09-2011 09:56PM

I actually want to point out that I don't actually have much money. I have a single mother who just got laid off cos of cuts and I have to take a gap year to try to get a job to earn money for college fees. And I don't care about the lack of jobs, I'd rather live on next to nothing doing something I love than having a bit of money from a job I hate. I'm used to being poor anyway, I just want some advice on which university would be more welcoming/ have better societies/ nicer people and which one is better for what I want to do.

In terms of people and societies, they are both the exact same.

I thought you only posted in threads to ban people or lock them.

Novella · 08-09-2011 09:59PM

Personally I'd pick TCD purely based on its location.

Trinity or ucd. REASONABLE arguments please
