Trinity College Dublin has a large academic reputation and presence among Irish youth, with rich history and a really beautiful campus. To me, the academic reputation wasn’t something I cared much about, but the feeling of community and geniality among students and staff while being in the center of the city stood out to me. One thing I noticed with friends attending the same college is that there is a lack of accommodations and support for your mental health. A part of me believes that Trinity College Dublin focuses too much on its academic reputation and not enough on student wellbeing. Overall, I would recommend the college as a fun community with a very high level of education.
