Of course! Happy to help :)

Amazing comment 😎

Good luck! Slainte 🍀

No! I lived in Roebuck Hall, which I loved, but the village halls were great, too. A little older, but very conveniently located.

Thank YOU! I appreciate it 💚

Thank you! That is very kind. Good luck at UCD - I am sure you will love it! 💚🍀

I would but I am no longer at UCD! They are great, very conveniently located, and I believe you can find virtual tours on the UCD website!

Hi! I have no experience with this so I cannot say, but I am sure if you contact UCD directly they will be able to better answer your query. Good luck!

No! It was too cold for me while there - maybe it is an excuse to return one day in the summer months 🤭🍀

LOL I agree but you didn't hear it from me 👀

@@rachelore alrighty samsung fangirl xD

Hi! I do not believe there was an on-campus option like this, but plenty of students lived off-campus (albeit usually with host families). However, as someone who really values her private time, I thought the setup at Roebuck Hall (and most if not all of the other accommodation halls) worked great with a private bedroom and bathroom but a shared kitchen and laundry room. Overall, it was the perfect mix of shared and independent living.

well if you like nerdy things 🤭www.youtube.com/@rarayhere

It’s too much to handle! ohhh i get it that’s why you post once in 2-3 months so people can endure it. 😏😌

Thank you! Back at ya 🍀

Sure, but it's so worth it!!

Wow 🙀 you are so gorgeous

@@AzadAzzad thx bro 😝💓

Yes! Some towns on the west coast speak Irish, but most of the country is fluent in English.

@@rachelore Think you ! 50% I will studying medicine in Ireland :)

@@Oatmalya Good luck!!

@@rachelore ❤️❤️

That's wonderful!! Happy to help 😊

I received an email when it was time and I believe it brought me to SISWeb for it. However, it only opens at a specific time after you are accepted. For more specifics, you should ask the accommodation department at the school (and also through your program advisors if you are attending through another university).

Good luck!! It's such a wonderful place.

No! Every one at UCD (and most people in Ireland) speaks English. In the west and in more traditional areas, you could possibly come across someone speaking only Irish but it is rare. The only Irish word I used while theree was "slainte" which has absolutely nothing to do with studying ;)

As a UCD student, I got accommodation directly on campus. I am greatful for this because it is notoriously difficult to find accommodation in and around Dublin. I would recommend maybe finding a family to host you if you cannot find something on your own. Whatever you choose to do - good luck!

It definitely rains more than in many other places, but I love the rain so I always enjoyed it. Also, fun fact: due to wind patterns, Ireland technically has a temperate oceanic (like tropical but cooler) climate! Winters are mild with little-to-no snow and summers are humid but not despairingly hot. Definitely not depressing for a semester or two!

Thankyou for detailed reply. I keep on watching your videos. Good work. Impressed already

Thank you!! I appreciate that 💚 And yes, he knows he's cute and wields that for extra treats. Lol.

I don't recall paying an application fee at all, but it may depend where you're coming from, which school you're applying through, and the degree type you seek.

Hello! Not that I know of, no - but you may be able to get an exception for service animals. I suggest you contact the school directly about that.

Thanks!

Oh, no! Don't worry - the international student community at UCD is super fun and welcoming.

It really is! Thank you.

The fae fairytales make so much sense after seeing it in person. Side note - this is actually Galway!

Thank you! Good luck - you will love it! I'm happy to answer any questions as best I can. :)

Fall 2022!

The entire semester, including school costs, flights, living expenses, souvenirs, trips while there, and food came to a total of $22,712.59. However, I only paid $9,270.44 from my own savings due to scholarships (I recommend you apply to anything that could possibly apply to you, big or small). Hope this helps!

I applied early and heard nothing back for at least a month (maybe more), then realized I made a mistake and withdrew that application to register with a different school in UCD. The second time, I heard back in a week. So, it's very random and there is no standard time period. Good luck!

Thank you! She will love it. Buses run right out of central Galway. To the cliffs from the train station, and to Cong through a tour agency (I used GetYourGuide.com). :)

@@rachelore thank you!

A suggestion for the Cliffs - check out Doolin Village, Fish&Chips Gus O'Connor (with Guinness preferably!), then take the land trail from Doolin to the Cliffs - it's one of the most special trails in the world (I've been on a few). The trail crosses what's mainly private lands on the edge of the Atlantic and there's plenty muck and mud a few places so trainers/sneakers easily ruined if not careful. I recall it's about 1-11/2hr to the Cliffs.

Good luck!!
