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.
Convenience.
5. And its esteemed midweek hotspots
A bit of variety from the SU from time to time.
6. You also have a spot for someone to stay when they’re “up visiting” Dublin
You’ll just have to get around some pesky accomodation rules.
Still, you’re now more useful than ever.
7. You always have the best craic on the top of Dublin Bus on the way into town
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
Dublin has hangover options:
They’re everywhere – and they’re spectacular.
9. It’s a city where you can text your college an absolutely mortifying message and nothing will come of it
Sent to Ballyfermot College of Further Education and it was grand.
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
Like the stars of UCD’s 2016 calendar above.
12. We’re not afraid to ironically embrace foreign trends for the craic
NANDO’S.
13. Some Dublin colleges are well known to be fairly good at taking the piss out of themselves
14. And finally, Dublin colleges are the welcoming sort – no matter who is involved
It should be top 10 on the global list, at the very least.
