A challenging yet rewarding journey in academics and growth.

Tips: Students should be prepared to manage their time effectively to balance coursework, projects, and extracurricular activities. While UCD has a vibrant campus with numerous societies and events, you may need to actively seek out opportunities to make the most of your experience. Don't hesitate to join clubs or attend events—it's a great way to meet new people. Dublin is an expensive city, and students should budget carefully for accommodation, food, and other expenses. Living on or near campus is ...

Sporty and open minded university.

Tips: Irish people are so welcoming you will feel so good after coming here, especially from India. We have the biggest campus in Ireland. There are lot many fun activities happening here as a part of the president's life events. It's a pretty good institution and the university is decent. Overall, I am quite satisfied with my experiences.

UCD is very reputed in Ireland, and I value the place it holds here.

Tips: Only if you are ready to face challenges please take up this option. The first semester would be tough since you are going through many changes. Lectures are pretty long, I advise everyone to participate in class discussions. You tend to learn a lot then. Overall, I am quite satisfied with the course and the country.

Likes (Permanent Immigration): Ireland is a country that is not as well-known as others, but it is becoming more popular. Ireland is part of the EU, which makes the immigration process easier. I haven't done a lot...

The most diverse campus in Dublin.

Tips: The college has students from many countries so the programme is very diverse and the professors form groups/teams so that maximum diversity can be used by students in their group projects. Not many scholarships are available from the university but they should offer. The amenities the college provides are good. They also provide mentor support from alumni and the campus features for sports and academics are really good. They also offer career fairs which help develop a network in Ireland with c...

University College Dublin is good but the faculty is not very active to teach.

Tips: Students should be preparing well in advance for academics. Since teachers don't make an effort it's self-study from here onwards at least for Masters. The more you learn on your own the better you will be. I am actually satisfied with my university since it's one of the best grade colleges but there can be some changes done to the course structure.

The sports university of Ireland.

Tips: The college is very good. It's a modern college with a strong focus on sports and extracurricular activities. Living on campus is a different experience than living off campus, and I think it's a great experience. The study load is not as hectic as it is in India, and the curriculum is great.

Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty are good and are very friendly and not like some arrogant professors we get in Indian universities. Here the professor feels like they are among the students only. Also, the professors however hi...

My college holds a lot of activities that would help students discover their potential.

Tips: It is nice to have a culture shock in a good way because it allows you to learn beyond your thinking and adapt to the best possible ways to get along with everyone. The faculty are very friendly and communicate with us thoroughly in every lecture. They make sure we understand the concepts and their core principles. I did not avail myself of any scholarships because my college gave limited seats to people. I am very satisfied with my university and the country I have chosen.

University College Dublin is good and eventually will get through the phase.

Tips: I chose Ireland because it is a great place to live and work, provides a lot of opportunities and careers and is a hub for IT companies. But before you go, do your research. Analyse the university rankings, the country rankings, and the climate. Also, look at the job market and how you will survive there.

UCD - BlackRock campus has a friendly and competitive environment.

Tips: The University is an experience in and of itself. There was a big cultural shift after coming to Ireland, but it has been mostly positive till now. There are multiple scholarships to choose from, but make sure to apply for them as early as possible. Part-time jobs are very scarce, so apply for them at the beginning of January if you're planning on starting your studies in the September intake.

It is possible to maintain and balance work life and personal life.

Tips: Students should research thoroughly, and then make up their minds and be fully prepared. Assume that no one will help you, so organize your finances according.

The people are nice and very accommodating, and language is not a barrier. If you are looking for a college that is international in scope, this is a good choice.

Very stressful environment and it is hard to manage between college and part-time.

Tips: The workload is too much, and with the part-time job, it's a total mess. On top of that, we're not even getting paid on time, and people are taking advantage of the students by making them work more. I'm not sure what to do at this point. No company has offered me anything, and I'm not sure if anyone will. I'm confused about what to do.
