[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]can someone compare UCD and Trinity - maybe by comparing to American schools.  Like is it BC and BU?  or .. something? [/quote]

You can't compare them to US schools because the admission process is different and the program of studies is completely different to the US.  At Trinity, for Arts at least, you focus on two subjects or even just one. At UCD, you do three in first year and then decide on two. Science, engineering and medicine are different. At either institution, students don't take many, if any, classes outside their major. For Irish students it is a matter of where they are accepted and/or which is easier to access as many Irish students from Dublin live at home while attending college.

In terms of size, UCD is bigger and the campus more similar to a US college and in the suburbs. Trinity is in the middle of the city. International students get priority for (expensive) on campus housing first year. Trinity has very little on campus housing but does guarantee housing a bus ride away for first year international students. After first year you are on your own and finding a place in Dublin is really difficult.
