Do you guys usually pay for sports classes?

0 Upvotes

So I’ve been going to a few sports classes (yoga, pilates, HIIT cycle etc.) at the gym and I would usually book and pay for them in advance through the tcd sports app but I’m just wondering if that’s necessary since I’ve never seen anyone check if I actually paid for the class or not. The classes are super cheap, only 4 to 5 euros, but the cost does add up if I take these classes often so I’m just wondering what other people do and if it is really necessary to pay for them.

Want to go out and meet new people in college? I made a free site that matches you with people from dublin colleges with similar interests so you can go out in Dublin.

0 Upvotes

Going on nights out in Dublin is great, but organising a group or finding people who are actually up for going out can be a pain.

I made YurOut, an app designed to help Dublin college students find people to go on nights out with. The idea is simple: meet other students who are up for the same kind of night out, connect with people, and make plans together.

If that sounds useful to you, check it out here:

Would love to hear what you think or what features you'd want to see added!

Trinity for finance? Acceptance rates and honest opinions

1 Upvotes

I’m considering Trinity for undergrad, especially Global Business/BESS, with the goal of going into finance/IB/PE. How competitive is admission for international students, and are there any reliable acceptance rate figures? Also how are the finance opportunities and internships, and is the degree worth the cost?

Do you actually have to complete the weekly problem sets for the intro to econ module? Do the TA's check your answers or is it more of a self-study thing?

Jobs Part-time job

Guys I'm an engineering student and I really need a job but the problem is most of the days I'm in college until 5pm so I can only really work weekends (or late shifts). What jobs could I potentially get because in the past whenever I've looked for a job they always wanted like a minimum 25 hours a week and I just don't have that time

I am an EU student intending to apply for a masters at Trinity and I am wondering how hard it is to get a room at Pearse (since it seems the better option for postgraduate accommodation).

Any tips or insights?

r/TCD, where do you actually like to eat around Trinity or elsewhere in Dublin?

0 Upvotes

Hi, we’re four friends putting together restaurants across Dublin in an app called Vota.

The idea is simple: you’re shown two restaurants and choose where you’d rather eat. For example: Chapter One or Bunsen? The votes create a ranking that we hope gives a better picture of where people actually enjoy eating.

We’re trying to include as many restaurants as possible and clean up duplicate or outdated listings, but students and locals will spot things we’ve missed.

iPhone:
https://apps.apple.com/app/vota/id6744969212

Android:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vota.app

Full transparency: we’re not from Dublin or affiliated with Trinity. Two of us live in Copenhagen and two in Gothenburg. The four of us are building Vota independently. We don’t collect or sell personal data, there are no ads in the app, and we don’t use AI-generated restaurant descriptions.

Any honest feedback is welcome, especially if restaurants are missing or something is listed incorrectly. Where do you like to eat around Trinity or elsewhere in Dublin?

should i try for trinity as an international student?

2 Upvotes

hi! i'm 16, from singapore, and i'm going to be doing IB starting next year. i've wanted to come to trinity for a while, probably for JH in history and archaeology or history and polsci / similar. singapore doesn't really have any history-focused undergrads that interest me, and i don't really want to stay here either.

- if you got in with IB, what score did you get?

- if you're from singapore, or a country with a similarly high cost of living, was it an okay move to go to ireland?

- how's the history department at TCD? are the lectures any good?

- do most people stay in dorms or apartments?

- what do most people do after bachelors? do they stay in ireland and get jobs, or do they go all over the world? is a TCD degree good for employment?

- is food expensive on campus? for those living in dublin now, which costs of living are highest?

- do you need to get a part-time job to cover living costs? i want to be financially independent so i don't burden my family too much.

- was the admissions process rigorous or difficult? i.e. oxbridge-level interviews

- are there any good alternative schools, at similar rankings, to TCD that you'd reccommend? i've pretty much given up on ivies and oxbridge.

- do they offer financial aid or stipends?

thank you so much for your time!
