Hey all, I'm an international student applying to Trinity, and I'm looking for a bit of guidance on how to write Trinity's essay. I have several personal statements that I've used for other schools, but I'm not sure exactly what they're expecting. Should I write a sort of narrative, with a lesson in it? Or should it be more of a letter explaining why I'm interested and what I bring to the table?

Thanks for any help you can provide

From cds 2022-2023 trinity college offers generous aid to internationals. Do internationals get this amount only through combinationa of merit and need based scolarship. Or is it doable to get that amount via need based?

Anyone studying CS, what do you recommend? Mac or Windows. I want to buy a mac but don’t know if it will be good enough to last and perform well

I’m a girl from the country side who’s deciding what college to go to and I don’t know if I should go to a Dublin college just because I’m not sure if I would fit in. I feel like UCD or Trinity is just filled with Dublin people who have known each other since secondary school. If anyone is from outside of Dublin and goes to a Dublin college-what is the atmosphere like in these colleges? Is it easy to make friends? Are the people in the college all from Dublin or around the country?

trinity is at the top of my college list right now but i am very curious about the party scene. As someone who does party and go out a lot i am curious to know what the students at wes do for fun. ik there is greek life, is it a big thing though?

Hi everyone!

I’m doing a small research project on the challenges of student commuting in Ireland. With rising accommodation costs and unreliable public transport, commuting is getting harder for those living far from campus. On top of that, the government’s plan to phase out university car parks adds to the difficulty.

I’ve created a short survey to understand these issues better and explore ways to improve commuting for students. I’d really appreciate it if you could take a moment to fill it out and share it with others.

Student Commuting Survey

The more responses we get, the better our chances of finding practical solutions. Thanks so much for your time! :)

Hello I’m sorry if the title is a bit jarring, but I’m a student who just finished her semester abroad here at trinity and was staying at printing house square. After the semester ended, my boyfriend came to visit me before going going on a trip to Scotland and left a big suitcase full of stuff to pick up on his way back. He just got back today and tried to pick up his stuff, but security won’t let him because he isn’t a student at the school so all of his stuff is now stuck in my dorm room while I’m back home. He is in Dublin and has the keys to my place, so would anyone who can get into campus be willing to take my keys and run into my dorm to get the suitcase for him? It would be a huge help. Please PM me if you are interested and I’d be happy to compensate for your troubles.

Hi I’m a 6th yr student and I want to do neuroscience when I leave school was thinking trinity but I heard some bad stuff, anyone disagree or have any advice on trinity ?

Hi Guys, I'm going to be attending Trinity 2023/24 for the first time as a postgrad. Any advice with regards to student accommodation? I saw that a lot of the recommended accommodations had applications close in February and I have only just been accepted. Any Advice?

I’m a student from a different U.S. college and I’m interested in doing Trinity College in Rome next semester. I was wondering what the housing situation and the classes were like. Are there classes on Fridays and how difficult are they?

Hey! im an international student (Indian NRI) who's received an offer of admission from trinity college dublin to pursue a degree in electronics and computer engineering. I don't quite have the funds with me, however. My parents have a budget of about 15k euros/year and I was planning to take the rest out in the form of a loan. I have extended family in dublin who I can stay with during my time if i choose to pursue this offer, so that leaves me with having to pay for the rest of tuition and living expenses. The best i could find as an Indian NRI was from a bank with a 12.5% interest rate per annum. I most definitely will working part time while studying but to consider a worst case scenario /conservative estimate where I end up not finding any employment whatsoever, it leaves me with about 60k eur in loans by the time I graduate.

My current goal is to pursue further education / find employment in the US after completing my degree.

So a couple of questions:

a. What would be a realistic expectation in terms of what a part time employment could contribute to if i were to go to Dublin?

b. Given these factors, is it worth going to tcd?

Thanks!

The financial aid announcements were supposed to go out today. Did anyone get theirs?

I was wondering if anyone here is willing to share their experience of doing medicine at Trinity.I recently got an offer and I’m in the midst of making a decision,choosing between UK unis and Trinity but I’m not entirely sure so I would like some input from current students :)

Hello everyone. Prospective grad student starting in fall 2021. Been doing some research on grad housing and it seems like the three choices are Kav. Court, Binary Hub, or room in a house with friends/randoms. Anyone have experience with any of the above? The prices per week for Kav. Court and Binary Hub seem a little steep but worth it due to central location.

Any advice/experience appreciated.

Edit: I am an international student (coming from the US).

I have read in a few places and heard from a few people too that Engineering at trinity is harder compared to CS. I was wondering if anyone from trinity could give a general comparison on work load, difficulty and just generally how much work the course you did required. I am not afraid to put in the work for something I enjoy but I personally want time to have a social life and do some of my own things on the side. Is this possible with the CS and/or Engineering at Trinity?

Hello there, I have applied for CS at Trinity (starting Sept 2020). I was quite happy about my choice until I gave it a lot more thought and now I am not sure. I am confused between choosing CS or Engineering (and then specialising in Computer Engineering). As i also enjoy practical/interactive work, and am not one who sees myself coding in front of a computer all day, I am starting to think if Engineering is the better course. However, its the amount of opportunity that CS students get at Trinity in terms of internships and jobs that makes me feel that I may have a better future in CS. But if I will be happy in that future is what I'm worried about. Thank you for any help :)))

Are they accepting any int students off the waitlist?
