Place, costs and deadlines are important too
My thing is to start studying in september 2016, spent not so much parents money and to feel civilization under my living window, not someone throwing up
Tell me, what are u thinking
Thinking that I don’t love you starting with ‘I don’t want to be near drunken college students’ and that if that is your starting point Ireland might not be for you. But we’ll let that go for the minute.
I’m also thinking that costs and deadlines are readily available online, so you don’t need help from us on that.
Place…well, Trinity is in the center of Dublin, and Maynooth is about 20 miles outside the city. It’s a pleasant small town, with regular buses (~1 hour) or trains (~40 minutes) to Dublin. They would be very different experiences, but both will have drunken college students. Are you a city mouse or a country mouse?
I know a current Trinity student and a just graduated Maynooth student in those programs (one in a similar program in Edinburgh, for that matter). Both (all) love/loved their courses. I am assuming that you have read the program descriptions very, very carefully. If not, do so now. If you are coming from the US / are not familiar with the Irish system, it is much, much more structured and regimented than in the US. The differences in the two programs are meaningful. Fwiw, in recent years Maynooth has started to have opportunities for student research (meaningful research), but neither has the kind of student research approach that US students are used to.
