UCD is a wonderful university. It has a state of the art science building, and many sporting facilities, catering to many different sports. It has a huge campus with a variety of courses. The opportunities offered by UCD to its student are also endless, from a year abroad to placements and internships. However, it does have a large Dublin based student population, resulting in student life revolving mostly around lecture times and it is noticeably quieter during the weekends and at night. It is also not in the centre of Dublin and public transport is therefore needed to go anywhere.
