If you are an international student, you are a second-class citizen of this university. During the pandemic the government gave a relief payment to domestic students, but international students that pay 2.5 as much as domestic students (20k in my case!), got no support whatsoever from UCD, or the government. They didn’t even acknowledge a movement of international students to get a discount and raising the issue with the financial hardship, specially given the degraded learning experience, which again they didn’t recognise!
