21M never went to college, after finishing secondary school (kishoge) I went to a plc cause I failed the lc, during the study days I was just playing Roblox. Now everyone seems to be enjoying the uni life while I'm stuck at home rotting my youth away, no friends, no relationship. I was learning UX UI design and other things before that (which I failed horribly to learn) cause I thought I could get out of this situation but there's hardly anyone applying so I just feel lost tbh. I finished my 3rd iteration of my portfolio started applying for jobs few days ago. I hope I land something. Anyways I don't really know why I'm posting here I just saw this subreddit on my recommended and I wish I was in this school but I'll never experience college in this lifetime.

Hi! I’m thinking of starting a swimming routine but don’t currently have a swimming cap for my hair, can I use the pool in sports centre without or is it mandatory? I do have very long hair but I would obviously be tying it up cap or not.

I’m trying to weigh up student life between TCD and UCD.
UCD definitely seems to have a far superior budget. Their athletic infrastructure is impressive, whereas TCD's sports scene feels a bit fragmented. It’s hard to overlook that Trinity’s main pitches are completely detached from campus—commuting to remote, off-site facilities in Santry seems like a massive logistical hassle compared to UCD's all-inclusive hub at Belfield.
That being said, which college wins on the actual social scene present in the clubs and societies ? I heard that both colleges can be cliquey, but that Trinity is more welcoming and friendly than UCD.

I’m going to apply for the 2027-2028 academic year as an EU student but I was wondering what my realistic chances are to get in? any and all advice appreciated :)
