Eoin did not go right into the Academy after graduating Secondary School. Instead, he enrolled in University College, Dublin. There, he majored in Exolinguistics. During his first semester alone, he was required to become fluent in all official languages of the Alpha Quadrant powers. Needless to say, it was a lot of work. After the end of the first semester, however, he realized that the Universal Translator had basically eliminated the need for interpreters, so what was a budding linguist to do? Join Starfleet.

With all the credits Eoin already had under his belt, he was able to skip the first semester of Exolinguistics at [[Starfleet Academy]]. So, instead of taking Dead Languages the first semester, Eoin enrolled in the Computing Languages concentration for the first semester. This eventually led him to declare a minor in Engineering. Of course, he had his work cut out for him in Exolinguistics, but he convinced himself that Engineering was just another language to master.

He also met several friends that he still keeps in contact with. They were [[Lo'ren T'Vof]], [[Yuri Abelev]], and [[Apollo Stevens]]. The three of them stayed together all four years, and became known all throughout campus. Whether they were famous or infamous depends on who you talk to. Boothby spoke highly of the group, however.
