Diverse environment and good learning experience.
Tips: Students should be prepared for independent learning and active participation. Dublin can be expensive, so plan finance well. The environment is diverse and welcoming and adapting to a new culture and academic style may take time. Overall a positive experience.
Dislikes (Internships): Because while there is support from the college, a lot of the responsibility falls on the students to find opportunities themselves. The career services team shares openings and conducts workshops on CV writing and interviews. Some internships are relevant to the course especially in business, computing and data related fields, but securing one depends heavily on individual effort and networking.

A welcoming campus and a welcoming city.
Tips: The workload in NCI can be sometimes demanding. Time management is very important especially if you want to work part-time with your studies. The transition was smooth overall to Dublin. You need to get adjusted to the weather and cost of living in Dublin.
Likes (Student Life): Student life at NCI is very active and friendly. They host several events. NCI organizes a variety of events like cultural festivals, career fairs, tech talks and student gatherings. There are several clubs as gaming clubs cultural groups, tech societies which you will be introduced to on your induction day.
Dislikes (Safety): The campus itself feels safe, but Dublin can be unpredictable sometimes, especially late in the evening. On campus, we had student support services that guide you on safety in the city. Some parts of the city are not suggested to travel alone. Stay away from those places and you will be granted.
