Trinity College Dublin?

Just to mention, Queens Uni Belfast is a exceedingly better uni than trinity if your including northern ireland as well. It is higher up the world rankings for top universities by tens of places etc.

He basically was very impressed with the people there and also their general culture.

Funky. I'm the complete opposite. I'm very unimpressed by them.

Sorry for launching that attack!
You are of course right about the lack of reputaution UCDD has in the UK.But I think that is finally starting to change with the new adminstration.

As for the person who said QUB was better than Trinity.Thats complete rubbish.I wouldnt rate QUB above many Irish universities.

I go to UCD and I got 580 in the leaving Cert. I could have easily gone to any course in trinity. The reason I didn’t was because I didn’t want to have to share my time with know-it-alls who have pathetic superior complexes like the previous poster.

I will admit that the average trinity student has higher leaving cert points but to claim that trinity represents the cream of Irish students is a ridiculous statement. The top 200 students in UCD, UCC and maybe UCG would easily match the top 200 in trinity. And employers recognize this; proved by the fact that many UCD students enter graduate programs in the UK.The days of trinity attracting Ireland's best are long since over I am afraid.
