Because of covid my college search has been a little bit difficult and I'm an american looking at Trinity and your vlogs and stuff have been so helpful in getting an idea of the campus and classes and just the overall experience!

i’m going into my freshman year of high school and i’d love to get into either oxford or trinity when the college application process begins. it looks so fun and the people there look so nice!

Thank you so much for this. Your videos are really helpful!! I would like to go to Trinity in September 2021 as an international so I‘m really looking forward to your next video. You said something about filming a tour of the university and if you do I would be so thankful if you could film the science buildings as well because sciences are what I‘m interested in.

Hi, do you know how much does it cost to study at trinity?

[@sesameshibec6867]

@@alex-ee9mh well im not sure about international students, but irish students that qualify for HEA free fees initiative, pay 3000 euros, which most irish students would apply for what is known as a susi grant. Once approved the grant would cover the 3000. Tldr: normally €3000.

[@alex-ee9mh]

@@sesameshibec6867 Okhay thank you! I'm an EU student but I'm currently in first year in university in France so I don't think that I'm eligible for the free fees :/

@@alex-ee9mh i think trinity puts irish students under eu status anyway but it depends. You qualify for HEA free fees initiative if you just finished school or progressing from level 6/7 program to a level 8.

Just go with your dreams. Hesitating over wether you will able to make it will only hold you back. I applied for 2021 for Medicine and have had a really hard time coming to a decision where to apply and what chances to take. That takes up a lot of the energy you’re better off investing in pursuing your dream. All the best, Skadi Muriel!

I just got offered a place at Trinity for a semester abroad and holy sht I have no idea if I'll even be able to go because of the insane (!!) housing prices! Like 600 euros for a SHARED room? How can anyone afford a room with some privacy?

You study for one year or more ? and at the end of the year wich certificate you get and what value does it has? please reply when you are free.. thanks!!

[@QueenofQuirk]

Hi! I recommend you go to trinity’s website and find a course you’d be interested in doing because it depends on the course. Usually a course is 4 years long. For example, I’m doing English and I get a BA by the end of it, so look it up on their website! Any degree from trinity has a lot of value ☺️

[@ellawoods7371]

Thank you so much for the video! In the drama club is there an option to join the costume department or stage crew?

[@QueenofQuirk]

Ella Woods no worries! And there are lots of different production teams in which you can join the costume crew as multiple shows happen over term. You can also join programmes like PIPs (players introductory programme) to get some tips on costuming or different parts of stage production and to join a network for future shows, but of course all this is subject to the pandemic and how the society organises itself

[@Isicil]

Would you say someone is more likely to be accepted as an international student, or someone who's an Irish citizen by applied dual citizenship?

[@QueenofQuirk]

I don’t think it’s a matter if more likely, I think they’d be two different application systems, the Irish citizen one through the CAO and international (if they’re outside the EU, if inside then the CAO is still the method) through a separate method. Check out my applications video for more info!

[@Isicil]

@@QueenofQuirk Will do, thank you! I haven't done proper research yet, I suppose I'm just worried if international acceptances are limited or competitive. Your videos have been very helpful, I appreciate them

Hi! sorry for my delayed response. I lived at home and commuted into Dublin. I have some friends who lived in Trinity Hall, if that helps.

[@Malak-wq4is]

I heard that trinity is all about self study and its really hard !! Is it right!???

[@QueenofQuirk]

Malak hey! So I can’t speak on behalf of all degrees in trinity, and I also can’t compare my course to another university since I haven’t experienced any of them. I haven’t heard that generalisation before about trinity, but on a basic level, college as a whole is different to secondary / high school because there is more self study, yes! You’re more independent as a university student. Any university, from what I can imagine, would have some self study. However, some degrees may have more lab work, group work or other things. English, my course, has lots of self study, but I quite like it - I don’t think it’s hard, I adapted to it quite well and I think most do. I hope this helps!
