Hello!! I am currently a senior in high school in NYC and I was wondering if it's a good choice to apply to the PPES or Political Science program at the school. Sorry, I'm just going to list a bunch of questions below and you can answer whatever you feel like answering.

How are the teachers, and are you interested in your coursework? (I am asking broadly about any student not necessarily one studying politics, though that would be helpful!)

Do you guys like living in Dublin? Is it a fun place to be and is there stuff to do on the weekends, like parties and events?

Do you feel challenged by your classes?

How is the food? I'm from nyc and we can basically get every cuisine imaginable so I'm spoiled. Do you guys have good food options around you? Asian food specifically?

Are many students apart of clubs and is there a good social scene at the school?

I just want to hear about your guys' honest experiences and lmk what you think!

Thank you guys so much

Just curious, where do the med students order their Patagonia fleece from cause it looks real nice…

Are there any ankis or flashcards that people would recommend for JF (1st year) biomed? I also do the physics module and would love to know if there's anything that would help with that as well. Thanks 🙏

I applied to two courses in TCD: Msc CS Data science and MSc CS Intelligent Systems.
Do I have to attend the test two times?
By when can I expect the programming test link? Do they send it out only if I am shortlisted or for everyone?
Any tips on the programming test? I need to know the pattern and also need to check if it is proctored.

Thanks in advance!

put my handwritten stuff into a number of different ai checkers, i'm flagged as using ai, ranging from 50-90%. motherfucker what the hell.

out of interest i paste my notes into claude and ask it to generate an essay, i check it, the ai checkers say it's most likely human written.

i hate these ai checkers, they stress me out so bad. i don't keep very good essay-specific notes and do most of my essays last minute, so i don't always have a record of me writing my essay. how do i even defend myself if i get flagged as an ai user. agh.

i've never been called on it before but man i'm stressed. also just feeling kind of offended that my work is flagged as ai, how dare you, i put my blood, sweat and tears into that. you think a machine could cite like i do? make spelling errors like i do? use frankly esoteric words like i do, simply because i once read the word in a law journal from 1939? claude, god bless her soul, could never.

I recently found out that Transformers: The Last Knight was filmed in Trinity College Dublin’s Long Room, and now I really want to visit the place and see where that scene happened in real life.

Would be pretty cool to stand in the same place where they shot that scene.

Thanks, AutoBots! Rollnout!

Hey!
Does anyone here do sociology in TCD? I’m considering entering in 2027? What do people think?
Thanks!

Hey I live in Louth, Ireland and Ive been dreaming with going to TCD. Something I do consider tho is that it is around 1h from my house to trinity.. does anyone do it daily? Like will i get used to it or should I just go to a closer university? Is it worth it?
Cus smth i also do think abt is that I love Dublin and i want to like hang out there and stuff but is it too hard if i live an hour commute away?

I applied as a first-year undergraduate student who just moved here from Berlin. I also had a letter from my doctor to support my disability application. Trinity Hall said that the reason I didn't get a place was because even in this category, there were too many applications.

Now that I know some of my classmates, many of them got a place there without a disability, with no financial issues, and they are from Ireland.

Why were they lying about this?

Will the sports centre/gym be open during the reading week? At what times? Thanks🫡

Hey everyone, so I need to book flights for the Christmas break. As a JF nursing student, we have 1 in person MCQ exam for our health promotion module. I wanted to ask if anyone who is in 2nd year or above can let me know what date their MCQ was done on. I just want a rough idea of when my MCQ will happen and also when the exam timetables get released. Thx so much!

Ok People, What are some Trinity secrets?

I'm talking tunnels, hidden rooms and cellars, hush-hush stories, strategies for sneaking into the t-ball, whatever you like.

I did my undergraduate in Trinity, but feel like I barely scratched the surface in terms of things to do, amenities to take advantage of, etc etc.

What are some lesser known (or even well known) things that students can take advantage of?

Very excited to be back. It's only when one leaves the setting they realise how much they miss it.

Walking around campus I see that there is a DJ every Friday night at the Pav? I don't drink but this wasn't happening during our time. Anyway...

Hey guys, international 3rd year student here. Just realised I have only interacted with people in trinity, so question, how do I make friends outside college, please give me some tips, apps, etc?
Btw, I know job is one of the answers, I have been applying with waitress experience and no one hires me fml 💔💔 so other options xx
Thanks 🙏

Hi, incoming exchange student here. As a part of my application I have to submit an accomodation preference, with the two options I have been given being Printing House Square and Cork Street. Just wondering if anyone has any advice on the vibes of the two buildings. I am hoping to meet a mix of other exchange students and Trinity students, and am really looking for the college experience.

Thx.

no, genuinely... i couldn't even last a few minutes there despite being dressed for the weather (looked around and everyone else was fine or acting fine so maybe it is a me problem). is there no heating system or do they refuse to turn it on until later? i ended up going to the upper floors in the arts block to study because they're slightly warmer at the cost of not being as quiet or spacious 🙃

On top of the library being freezing cold, this is the second time today that my hand has been impaled by a screw underneath the chair fabric. I don’t know how that is even allowed by the college, has this happened to any one else??? They’re usually around the perimeter of the seat where you grip.

Hi all,

I’m graduating from Trinity on Wednesday 28 October and am looking for a professional photographer from roughly 12pm to 1.30pm.

It would mainly be photos of me in the atrium, possibly a few others around campus, plus editing.

If you’re available, please DM me with your rate and a link to your portfolio.

Thanks.

4 different price tiers for Pav Fest? people are cold and lonely and it’s 20€ to get into the pav
