University College Dublin (UCD)

That it would have been a fuller experience had I gone completely by myself. my boyfriend, who was not a student, came with me and at first it inhibited me from taking full advantage of all the benefits.

The international office have a "buddy" program where you are put into a group with a couple of local Irish students. As an erasmus student it is always hard to interact with locals so take advantage of this. Also there is a fantastic selection of clubs and societies. It's a great way to meet Irish people and learn a new skill at the same time. Many of them organise weekends away so you can have the chance to see the parts of Ireland that Irish people think are worth visiting.

I feel that I knew a lot of things when I first got there...maybe too much. At first, I was so caught up with getting my accomadations/classes/directions right that I forgot to relax and take it all in. It ttok a couple of days, for me to ease in to the new surroundings, but after I did, I really began to have fun and meet lots of interesting people.

I had a great time at UCD, but I would say more of it had to do with its location in Dublin and all of the cultural and social activities that the city itself has to offer, rather than the school itself, although it was nice living amongst Irish college students.

If I could have anticipated how much money I would spend over my 8 months, I would have tried to save even more before going over.

UCD is excellent. It is a large, and has a multitude of foreign students as well as Irish. There are extensive subjects available to students, as well as more time to study before finals. I would advise students to live on UCD's main campus to feel more like a student in college rather than to just be a foreigner in a city.

I wish I was more informed about the programme of my studies and that I should have been more sure about what I want to do there.

The University is very nice, the atmosphere is very good and the lectures are interesting. There are lots of facilities on campus like huge sports center, pubs, library, book shops, restaurant. The student life is very lively and lots of interesting things are happening all the time.

I wish I had known that many foreign people live and work in Dublin, and especially french people! Not good to improve my English!

very good!

information was ok beforehand so nothing unexpcted happened to us!
