The campus is quite student friendly and safe.
Tips: I will suggest that students learn how to search for the best articles online, which will help students during assignment time. Learn more about academic writing, as it helps a lot with assignments. Try to be friendly with everyone, as it will help you to be a good student. The faculty is extremely understanding and will assist you with your projects.
Likes (Safety): The management of the university ensures the safety of both students and the campus itself. The management regularly conducts fire drills, and they take student safety seriously by making sure all their security practices align with those of the local police department.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Indian food at Maynooth is expensive. There are a few places on campus that offer a wide selection of foods, including pizza, Indian, sandwiches, etc. , but they can be price. Plus, the food is on the greasy side, which isn't everyone preference. It's definitely cheaper to eat off-campus.

Friendly and supportive university.
Tips: Before joining this college, students should check out the accommodation first, as the University is located on the outskirts of the city. They should also keep in mind the weather here, so they should have appropriate clothing later on. Work on yourself, as everything you will be doing by yourself, so have proper time management.

Great University with good faculty.
Tips: I got a scholarship and applied through the PAC website while applying for admission. I changed my dressing style and some food, but I have adapted to some Irish food. I have experienced great friendships and a helping nature from the students and faculty.
Likes (Value for money): The university is good. Good faculty gives us good projects to work on for group work, and we get to work with students from other countries. The faculty are from different countries and have experience in teaching. They assist us with the projects and help us.
Dislikes (Indian Food): The canteen has Irish food and things like chips and cool drinks, but it's in the same price range as the places outside of the university. I understand that the students at the university are mostly from Ireland, but there should be more food options for the students who came from different countries.

Highly qualified faculty and welcoming peers.
Tips: The college is good and friendly. There are lots of events you can participate in many clubs and societies you can join. There is also free food and things that the college gives. Events are really nice and have good atmosphere. Public transportation in Ireland is super friendly, accessible and convenient. I spend around 70 euros. The university has good reputation for education. This is the best one in Ireland and I'd really recommend it.

The university doesn't offer many good internships.
Tips: Nothing much, but they should know about their course structure and their future career path. If fresher, according to that, or experienced then according they can search. So, scholarships are based on luck but not on any merit. They may not expect any scholarship.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): After finishing their studies students have multiple options for settling down. In addition to finding a job in the IT field students may also find employment in a variety of industries and try to secure a post-study visa. Even though getting a visa can be a little difficult the rewards are well worth it for the students.
Dislikes (Internships): Unfortunately, the university doesn’t offer many good internships and it’s hard to find any on your own. Even though the school has a website with internship postings, getting hired is still difficult. The college does have the BCP Project that functions as an internship but it’s unclear whether or not this experience will help you in the future. So after graduation finding an internship will be pretty much impossible.
