Hello I woudl like to leave a review.I only have fond memories of my time there. Great times and friends. Highly recommended.
I dont know about the present but I would think it is still a fantastic place to study and socialise. Best of luck. I wish I was younger again.

i really liked this university, i made many friends here and learned loads. the building were very accommodating. they welcomed me into their school and made me feel at home. the dorms where i stayed were very nice. i liked most of my professors but there was a few people i did not like. they were arogenate and rude towards me

Studying at University College Dublin (UCD) is like getting the best of both worlds, top-tier academics wrapped in a vibrant, international community. It’s one of Europe’s best-kept secrets, especially for overseas students.

The campus? Massive, green, and modern, with actual lakes and chill spots that make studying feel less like a chore. Academically, UCD delivers. Whether you’re into business, tech, science, or the arts, the programs are well-rounded, and the professors actually care. They challenge you, but they’re also approachable—more mentor, less mystery.

As an international student, the transition is surprisingly smooth. UCD’s global community is active and supportive. You won’t feel like the “outsider”, you’ll feel like you’ve found your tribe. And with Dublin right on your doorstep, you get all the buzz of a capital city with the warmth of a tight-knit student town.

Sure, the weather’s unpredictable, and navigating the sprawling campus takes a minute. But in the grand scheme? Worth it. UCD gives you more than a degree, it gives you a global outlook, a killer network, and an unforgettable experience.

If you don’t mind large classes, UCD has interdisciplinary programs that integrate psychology, computer science, linguistics, and neuroscience. The faculty includes leading researchers, and students benefit from access to cutting-edge labs and collaboration opportunities.
