14 reasons Dublin is the best place to go to college
SO, AN IMPORTANT ranking of the best cities in the world to be a student in has been released – and Dublin is languishing down in 37th spot.
A travesty. They don’t know the true delights of Dublin as a student city:
1. Like the fact that this Society exists

Put that on your list and smoke it.
2. It’s a city where we take our iron stomach competitions very seriously
“Are you not entertained?”
3. Where colleges aren’t afraid to show where their allegiances lie

4. You’re only ever a short bus journey away from the bustling city centre where the true craic is

Or, if you’re in DIT or Trinity, it’s only a short walk.

A bit of variety from the SU from time to time.

You’ll just have to get around some pesky accomodation rules.
Still, you’re now more useful than ever.

When places aren’t walking distance away, you make your own craic.
And Dublin’s public transport is the best in the world for post watershed fun.
8. Dublin is starting to lead the way in hangover cures

10. Sure we’re even lax enough on the spelling on our official signs
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
Which means you won’t get in sh*t for the odd typo here and there.
11. It’s a city where taking your clothes off for a good cause in college is not just welcomed, but encouraged

12. We’re not afraid to ironically embrace foreign trends for the craic
