The graduate below discusses their experience in the College of Sciences and Health, Dublin Institute of Technology.

"If you had told me 3 years ago that today I would consider myself a proud DIT student I would have laughed!!!! At the start it was daunting but this was the start of a new life and it really is!!! It takes a few days to get used to the college whatever site you are in but over the first few weeks you will start to recognise faces you have seen before. In my first week I managed to get to know all the barmen in the local!!!!! In fairness my course is difficult but once I got a balance between work and partying I was fine. Of course your are not expected to be the genius who knows everything but it doest matter there is plenty of resources including students and staff who are always happy to answer questions and lend a hand to make your time in DIT as enjoyable as they can. If you do get offered a place in DIT I would take it seriously. That's not just my opinion, as many employers will employ students from DIT rather than a university because DIT students get more of a 'hands on' experience. I can honestly say that my time in DIT has been brilliant and I will recommend DIT to any student choosing a college course."
