AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the reputation of Trinity College, particularly in the fields of science and engineering. It highlights that Trinity College is regarded as one of the best universities in Europe for computational physics and is noted for its strong programs in scientific subjects. A former student emphasizes the quality of courses offered, suggesting they are more engaging than those at other institutions. However, the high cost of living in Dublin is a significant concern, as it is described as an expensive city. Despite this, the campus and the surrounding beauty of Ireland are praised, making it an attractive option for students, provided they can manage the financial implications. The conversation also touches on the university's suitability for graduate studies, particularly in physics, while noting uncertainty regarding its chemical engineering and chemistry programs.

What is the overall opinion of this university?

I'm currently doing A-levels in the UK and maybe considering applying there with courses planned for most likely chemical engineering or chemistry.

Hi Bladiba,
I was a student at University of Turin - Italy. After my first degree in general Physics,
one of my professor and some people in the faculty suggested continuing
my studies somewhere else. They told me that in the field of computational
Physics, Trinity College is one of best University in Europe.
Last September, one student from the University of Maynooth told me that Trinity
College is currently claimed as one of the best university in scientific subjects .

I read about the topics, covered during some courses that I already attended in Italy, and I found them more interesting than those one I had at my former university.

Nothing wrong with Trinity but Dublin is a very expensive city these days. Check out the financial as well as academic aspects.
 
The campus is beautiful, and Ireland itself is nearly as beautiful as it gets, however Dublin is not one of the more scenic parts of Ireland. Trinity would be a wonderful school to attend if it is financially feasible. You would be in fairly close proximity to a large amount of schools in Ireland and the UK where great research is happening.
 
Excellent place for grad school...or it used to be, last I heard.

PS: I'm talking about physics. Don't know about CE or Chemistry.
 
After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
