QUIZ: Can we guess what you studied or would study at college?
We can’t promise that we’ll guess your chicken fillet roll order right, though.
WHETHER IT’S BEEN longer than you’d care to admit since you stepped off campus, you’re pretty fresh out of school, or you haven’t had a chance to go just yet, college for a lot of people is a time to thrive. Gone are cliques, the Leaving Cert, terrible canteen food and rigid rules about what you can, and can’t wear.
Once in college, you can focus on the subjects that you’re really fascinated by, study them in your own time – and pick up a skill or two that will really set you apart when it comes to the world of work. And for part-time or blended (distance learning) courses, there’s even more flexibility to fit around your schedule.
And if life got in the way the first time around, it’s never too late to invest time in your education – whether as a mature student at 23 or a part-time student at well, any age. So, can we guess what you would have studied, or the course you did graduate from?
Find out in our quiz below.
