Dublin 15, an hour and a half from university

Prices are relatively cheaper and as you are living with a family, the house is generally well equipped. It is very risky however as some students have gotten scammed and even asked to move out randomly on short notice. Personally, I would choose another place closer to the university (if you cannot get the student accommodations) but I would recommend starting to search for housing on this website as early as May. However, this option is for those who have a lower budget. Go for other websites if you have a higher budget.

As I lived far, I did not have a good social life.

Discovering Ireland: Landscapes It is a module with no classes and you get to go on two field trips which allow you to discover and explore unique Irish historical landmarks that you would not otherwise visit. The assignment is a learning journal reflecting what you saw and learned during the trips. This module is mostly taken by exchange students.

The campus is big and you get the campus life, equipped with big libraries and bunch of cafes.

Belfast, Cliffs of Moher, Edinburgh

Transport can be very annoying as bus delays often and cancels without prior notice. Sometimes there are cases where the bus doesn’t show up despite saying it will.

Look at the housing prices beforehand and stay as close to the university as possible. The commute will take a mental toll on you.

yes, i recommend it, because it's very near to DCU. the price is expensive, but in Dublin all the accomodations, are around this price. It's great because you share the kitchen with three other students and you have your own bedroom and bathroom

diceys for a club, and watherspoon diceys for drink good coktail for a little price and eat also

i study eengenering so maths and digital electronics are good

yeah the campus is big and cool , a gym, a bar, shops... the registration is okay

hum, you can go to Howth, Belfast, Wicklow...

have a leap card, because you need to use buses a lot of time.

a lot of restaurants closed earlier, so becarfull

I not recommand this place. It’s toi expensive for what it is. And the staff doesn’t present for you. Furthermore, you need to buy all your stuff for cooking and bedding, with this price you can maybe thought that will be include.

For breakfast: Grindstone For Brunch: Press cafe For dinner: Little Pig/ Bambino/ Amuri For drinks: Little Pig (excellent cocktails) For Bar: The Norseman (Temple Bar) Club: Dicey’s

I was in economics. International Money and Banking was very interesting. Adv Econometrics: Time series was very complex. If you aren’t familiar with programming with R don’t take this course

The campus is huge, very peaceful. The registration is very complicated because all student register at the same time. It’s possible that you can’t have your course that you want.

Go to Howth, is very near to Dublin, 20 min by train. A lot of trips is possible from Dublin with the train or with a company (like GetYourGuide)

You absolutely need the Leap Card, it’s for traveling by public transport. You can do the demand on the website. Don’t forgot your thermic clothes because it’s very cold in November. You can take an umbrella but with the wind it’s not the best…

Have fun! Do a lot of things if you can

I wouldn't recomand Yugo, it is very very expensive and literally nothing is provided, you have to bring your own dishes, cooking material, pillows, etc, etc. the place is all right but does not worth the price even if everything is expensive in Dublin you can find better

go to local pubs, drink Guinness, talk to strangers, drink Guinness, sing and dance.

don't take international marketing, the lecturer will give you so much work.

campus in grangegorman is cool, the one in aungier street a bit less. the lecturers in general are cool. registration can be a mess, if you're not registered when you arrive it's normal

take the train to visit Galway, Kilkenny, Cork, Belfast... Very easy

no subway, only buses. 4 seasons in a day. Rain. Not that cold during winter. relatively safe city prepare to not eat very well cost of living is very expensive

Yes because you are alone in your bedroom which is a luxury in Dublin. More over the place is clean and quiet you have a whole house for 3 people.

Diceys is the best place to out for clubs because it has different rooms with different music styles

I couldn’t choose my courses but the “English language is use” class is very interesting and the professors are really nice

Go to the Dcu gym, you will have access to the swimming pool sauna and hammam too. Plus there are sports classes that are very good

Hicking at howth, Bray, black Forest or even have a trip with a 2h bus ride to Belfast

Transports are easy with the leap card and the city centre is full of life at every hours

I was renting a room in a family house with two children (2 and 4 years old). The owners were really nice and kind, and the room was spacious, well equipped and bright. I had a private restroom and access to the bathroom and the kitchen. The location was perfect for me because my university was at 10min walk and it has a shopping center at 15min walk! The only few flaws were the price of the rental that was pretty expensive for a student (1000€/month) and the children who were often noisy. Apart from that, I liked my accommodation and I recommend it!

The nightlife in Dublin is amazing!! People are always friendly and nice. With my friends, our favorite club was the Lost Lane, the music is great (especially in the razzmatazz parties), and we also liked the Dtwo for its French themed parties. The district of Temple bar is perfect for hanging out with friends in a irish vibe. It’s important to note that the most of clubs and bars close early compared to France (2am)

Introduction to Marketing : requires a lot of personal work, one mandatory reading + question every weeks… Psychology in Organisations : Interesting and easy course, only a multiple choice questions + a written report (case study) to validate the semester Distribution & Channel Management : I recommend this course Operations Management : I don’t recommend this course, too much personal work, you will need to write 4 reports + film a video « reflective learning portfolio » to validate the semester… Development Economics : I recommend this course even if the personal work was pretty intense, it was interesting and well structured. Employee Relations Procedures : I recommend this course, pretty easy and interesting

Yes the campus is very cool, it has a nice sport complex (gym club, olympic pool, spa, football field…), some restaurants and even a pharmacy and a mini market! The university is used to international student, so the registration is easy and there is a lot of international students in class with you. There is also a lot of clubs & socs (chess, trampoline, sports, dance, maths, cheerleading…), and often various events on the campus with a good vibe!

* Galway - cute city, easy to access by train from Dublin, student fees https://www.irishrail.ie/en-ie/rail-fares-and-tickets/fares-info/dublin-galway * Giant’s causeway & Belfast - bus tour from Dublin with student fees https://www.paddywagontours.com/GIANTS-CAUSEWAY-Day-Tour-From-DUBLIN * Glendalough - hike with beautiful forest and hills, access by car from Dublin * Howth - Hill & harbour with good fish and Chips and possibility to see sea lion, 30 min away from Dublin by bus * Cliff of moher - must do * Connemara Lakes- hike on the mountain with view on the lakes, must do but not easy to access, we had to rent cars

What you absolutely need to know is that the cost of living is quite similar to France, so you won’t experience a major shock when it comes to prices for groceries or going out. The city is very safe overall, with a friendly and welcoming atmosphere, though (as in any big city) it’s always a good idea to stay alert late at night. The weather in Dublin also tends to get an unfair reputation. It’s not as rainy or grey as people often imagine. In fact, during my stay, it was even better than in France! You’ll quickly get used to the changing skies and learn to always keep a light jacket or umbrella handy. When it comes to getting around, the Leap Card is an absolute must. It’s a rechargeable travel card that lets you hop on buses, trams (Luas), and trains within Dublin. Once validated, it allows unlimited travel for 90 minutes. Even better, students benefit from heavily discounted fares, paying roughly half the regular price, which makes public transport both easy and affordable.

dublin, just above Oconell street so city center

website (Tom Dicks and Harriet)

I would definitely pick the same place, living in the city centre of the capital really opens up a lot of opportunities just to visit the country or to meet plenty of new people

Oconnel street was always full of people, temple bar as well, and Yamamori Tengu and Diceys garden were the best clubs

Went with a full marketing cursus and overall it was good but very different compared to the French school system as over there it was more about reading books and writing essays based on those books.

Campus was huge and cool ! Would def recommend the place

Go to Galway or even Nothern Ireland is really easy

City safe, food not expensive, just the real estate is CRAZY but it’s worth jt

In the campus of the university so 30min driving from Dublin center

https://residences.ucd.ie

I stayed in a six-person apartment with my own room and bathroom. The building was fairly clean and new. However, the common areas of the apartment were constantly dirty (but that depends on the roommates you end up with). It was convenient for getting to class, as it was a one-minute walk from the school buildings. However, it was more difficult to go out and get to Dublin city center (accessible by direct bus in 30 minutes). But given how few classes we had, I would have preferred to stay in the center (Yugo-type residence, for example). The rent was still relatively expensive for the service offered, but real estate prices are very high overall in Dublin.

Best party streets was in Temple Bar I recommend going to the Dicey's or the Camden I hope you like Guiness

I chose courses focused on marketing and digital marketing. The courses were really interesting for once. I had one course per week for each subject, and six subjects, so six courses per week. All my courses were grouped together over two consecutive days, which gave me five days off to visit places and go on trips.

Yes, the facilities were very good. The only thing was that the campus wasn't in the city center, but about 30 minutes away by bus.

All Ireland, London, Scotland, Stockholm

The city center is fairly compact and easy to explore on foot. The city is served by an extensive bus network and there are a few trams. The city has many cultural attractions (Trinity College, St. Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin Castle, Phoenix Park, etc.). It is a very young, cosmopolitan, student-oriented city. St. Patrick's Day will remain a memorable highlight of my exchange! As Ryanair is an Irish airline, there are flights from Dublin to all major European cities at unbeatable prices (€50 return), making it easy to visit Europe!

Ballymun road

internet, student residence

yes !! if you want to be close to DCU because it's up north so clearly not in the city center, but you can get there easily by bus and the accommodation is pretty convenient .

many pubs but my personal favorite was disndat, but also a really good one was on temple bar but you have to expect higher prices their because it is way more touristy, also a really cheap one is silver penny (beer for less than 4-3,50 euros), clubs depends on what you are looking for but for techno I would say wigwam and for commercial I loved George on a Thursday night or lost lane on a Monday (both are gay club depending on the night you are going but it is really really nice and fun), if you like to meet new Erasmus go to diceys and stuff like that on this street but you can get easily sick of it (always the same vibe and same people)

honestly... I recommend the theatre club, not a class but the classes weren't that interesting I found, at least in business... but courses weren't mandatory so :)

the campus was okay, really big, nice on a sunny day because there is a lot of grass, registration was okay, at least you go to somebody office there is always someone to answer, I would still maybe not choose the same uni. but I wasn't much on it except for the courses, so I did mind

went to Galway on a bank holiday and it was really funny, or also Belfast for a one or two days trip, never super expensive to take the train.

the accomodation are expensive, the food is too except if you go to lidl, but the people are so friendly, juste learn how to speak English and you will have a perfect time there !! just also there are many hikes that you can do around dublin that are really nice but the culture life there is not the best, don't expect to go to the museum every week.

Dublin 1

My accommodation was decent, located near Croke Park. It was a basement studio. Very expensive for what it is, and I don't recommend North Dublin, which is less welcoming and a bit more "dangerous" than the South of Dublin.

If you want to have a good time in Dublin, there's obviously Temple Bar (but it's very expensive because of the many tourists). My favorite bar is Bad Bobs, which turns into a bit of a nightclub on weekends. There's also a less touristy street near The Market Bar, a bar-restaurant. For student nights, I recommend Lost Lane (tickets can be bought online) and also Dicey's. I also had great times on the MV Cill Airne, a boat docked on the Liffey — the pints there aren't too expensive compared to the touristy spots. A very beautiful bar/restaurant worth seeing is Little Pyg, and they have really good pizzas!

I was in Kedge class so I didn't choose

I really enjoyed my experience at ISB, especially the teachers — they’re all amazing. From what I understood, there isn’t a fixed campus; the premises change every year. I don’t have any particular recommendations for the school — if I had to do it all over again, I would choose it again.

Thanks to the school (which organized trips and guided visits for us), we were able to go to Galway, the Cliffs of Moher, and Belfast. If I had to recommend one trip to take while you're in Dublin, it would be Galway — the landscapes there are stunning. You also have the option to visit the islands just off the coast of Galway and spend the day there. And of course, don’t miss the traditional pubs and Irish music, which I’ll never get tired of!

To get around Dublin using buses and the tram (the Luas), you need a card called the Leap Card. There are student fares, and the journeys aren’t that expensive. You can top up the card using your phone. The city is fairly well connected, even though I walked a lot. As for the weather no surprise, it rains a lot in Dublin, and you can experience all four seasons in a single day, so never go out without your umbrella! Regarding safety, to be honest, there’s a lot of poverty (mainly due to the high cost of rent in Dublin), and unfortunately, quite a few people are dealing with drug issues. But to reassure you these people don’t bother anyone; they live their lives, and you live yours. It’s still something to be aware of, especially in North Dublin. As for the people they are generally very kind. The cost of living is quite high. You can do your grocery shopping at Lidl, which has reasonable prices. Too Good To Go is also a good option. When it comes to eating out, there are lots of local specialties (you should try everything it’s all really good!). In stores, it’s pretty much the same as what we have back home, except for alcohol and puff or shortcrust pastry you won’t find those!

I really enjoyed my experience in Dublin, and if I had to do it all over again, I wouldn’t change a thing. It’s a real change of scenery the weather, the pace of life, the pubs, the music, and the overall vibe of the city are all quite different. One of the nicest things is Dublin during Christmas it’s beautiful. Also, flights to London are really cheap!

It was very nice for me because I had good flatmates and it is very modern.

Everywhere in city center around temple bar, Diceys garden and others for club

No class choice in Dorset

Dorset was not that good, we didn’t see anyone else than our class. The campus is a house, it is very small and badly placed

Very easy with trains, it is quick and cheap. Also a lot of cheap rayanair flight from Dublin

Very expensive, do your grocery in Lidl and don’t go in the center of temple bar for pints

Pros : - On campus accomodation so close to campus facilities - Shared house so you don't feel alone abroad - Not too expensive housing compared to other options in Ireland Cons : - Tight appartments for 4 people and poor noise insulation - Only 1 fridge for 4 people in my residence - Often fake fire alarms (very noisy !)

The on-campus bar (The Club house) is great to get a drink with friends and not that expensive, however closed on weekends The UCD Village is amazing, you have a small bar, a place to go for groceries (called Centra), a cinema and many restaurants ! I really liked to japanese one !

I don't recommend the Leadership class as you have to get involved and talk in english in front of everyone and personally I wasn't comfortable with this I don't recommend the EU & Businesses class as it is a very technical topic so very stressful to get ready for the final exam I recommend the Economic, Organisation & Management class as the teacher is really great and funny

The campus is like a small town with Dublin, it is massive ! It is really different from the campus in France. I really enjoyed it The registration was really easy, you just have to go to the UCD village and give your student number at the desk and they will give you your UCD card allowing you to access your appartment and some facilities on campus I would definitely pick the same uni again for the campus and for the location within Dublin really close to city downtown.

I went to Belfast by train with a friend and the journey took less than 3 hours if I remember well. You should go for the Titanic museum and the Giant Causeway if you ever go there. However be careful with the Visa which is mandatory in Northern Ireland and costs about 20€ or something Near Dublin, Bray is a place to go with amazing landscape but very windy !

For transportation you need to order a leap card allowing you to travel in Dublin by bus. It is a card you can recharge by adding money on it, each travel costs 1€ if you have the student status. The weather is unfortunately very rainy, however during winter it was not that cold to me Cost of living is not that high except for housing

Irish people are absolutely lovely, I miss them a lot I am sure you will miss the country as I do when you are back to your home country ! It was such a nice experience !

Yes because it was very clean and romls were good and recent.

Every pub ou bar in the neighrboorhood in the South of Temple bar. Diceys is good for french music until 2:00 AM.

Informatic courses because there are a lot of projects very useful and interesting

Campus is well organized with all equipments.

There is a lot of city and travel to do in Ireland but because of the fact that Ireland hasn’t neighboring countries, it limits the discovery of other cultures.

It’s very safe and there is a lot lot lot of buses

In my case I couldn’t choose my classes, but when it was a hard subject the teacher made sure to do simple things so most of us could pass

The registration was easy but the campus was very very veryyyy small 😂 it felt like we were in a house but it was good though, it’s a different experience

Galway, Belfast, Howth (it was so beautiful), and also London and Edinburgh it was not expensive at all to go there

The cost of living is very expensive in Dublin but it’s a very cool city, it’s small and people are soooo nice (not like Paris 😂), you can’t really use the train like rer or metro except if you want to go far from Dublin, you can use the bus though

Just enjoy your time there it’s a really good experience especially if you are with your friends
