Trinity College Dublin Sports

Trinity’s sport facilities are good yet limited with a city centre location. On campus there is a well equipped gym, swimming pool, a climbing wall, cricket pitch, rugby pitch, tennis courts and several indoor courts for basketball, football etc. However a common complaint for many teams, in particular the hockey team is that the training grounds are miles from the campus in Santry and very time consuming to reach and not in a top class condition.

There are also plenty of classes run in the gym such as pilates, yoga etc. There are 50 sports clubs that one can join so you are bound to find something to get involved with. The gym can get very busy so try to avoid peak times which are around 9am and 6pm to insure you get a treadmill or whatever it is you’re after (and so that there’s fewer people to laugh at you.)

What the students say

I like Maths and design so I like it. It's by chance that I do as I did not research it correctly.

Definitely recommend it. Great atmosphere for social and academic performance.

3rd year Currently in college

I get to study all of the same material as if I were in Medicine which is where my main interest lies. Also I have another 4 years to decide exactly what my career should be in the future. It is not too heavily based on lab wok but it is not always lecture based either, which keeps things interesting.

It is a very welcoming college and has a sense of community. The social life is great and the societies are very varied. Finally the education is at a very good standard.

3rd year Currently in college

I chose my course because I have always been really interested in drama, and have been performing from a young age. I went to see some plays in Dublin when I was a kid and as I reached Transition year I began to look more for colleges that provided theatre-based courses but with a heavy emphasis on the academic side, too. I have always been a lover of English and the study of plays so I would not have been happy in a strictly performing arts course. I attended the Trinity College Open Day and talked to students to try to make up my mind. It seemed like the perfect course for me, with the right balance of academia and practical with lots of choice as the third year of studying comes along. I gave it my CAO Number 1 and now here I am!

2nd year Current

It was the right course because I love the work and the job I do. It is a terribly run course and the students are treated terribly sometimes. We suffered bullying and were terribly unhappy because of it on a daily basis. Very hard course and very hard work but I love the job.
