Fun university life once you've settled in
Tips: Took me a while to ease in but it definitely gets better once you start acclimatizing! Of course you do miss your hometown and family, but the trick is to be grateful and enjoy yourself! I am extremely satisfied with my course, and I love what I do and love meeting people! It is pretty competitive though.
Likes (Public transportation): Very easy to navigate once you've got your travel card. As a student, each trip within the city is around a euro or 2 which is great because for non-student travelers, it's twice the price. There are buses and trams, but the city is walkable, and I'd recommend a waterproof jacket due to the constant rains!
Dislikes (Value for money): It's quite expensive when you total living expenses as well as tuition but overall, not too bad for living abroad! Finding a house or a place to stay is pretty challenging and you have to know where to look. Student accommodations are expensive so it's best to look for a place yourself.

Great Location, Strong Academics, and a Challenging Experience
Tips: Students need to be prepared to expect a tough schedule and a lot of cultural change. In general, I am very pleased with my choice of university and course, but the experience of living in Ireland. However, students need to be well-prepared regarding finances and accommodation.
Likes (Public transportation): The TCD is located in the very center of the city and has very good connectivity to various parts of the city by buses, luas, and other modes of public transportation. Public transportation is readily accessible and convenient, with good connectivity both inside and outside the campus.
Dislikes (Internships): The MSc in Computer Science curriculum is packed throughout the year, leaving very limited scope for students to take up internships alongside the programme. There is also limited guidance on finding and applying for internships related to our field of study.

My Time at Trinity College Dublin
Tips: In the beginning I availed the Indian Student Scholarship that was around 4000 euros back in 2021, however I am not sure whether it is still available, as you can only get it for your first year of study. After transitioning I loved how people were very open to getting to know more about you and your culture. One mistake I SEE alot of Indian students in particular is only sticking to other Indians/south Asian groups rather than meeting people of all backgrounds and getting to really know other people and their culture as well. Joining sports clubs and other societies during freshers week or after is a really good way of meeting new people and enjoying others company. All in all my time at University is one that is unforgettable and I would not give it up for the world.
Likes (Indian Food): There are numerous restaurants all around Dublin, and a lot are Indian as well, therefore, they have a lot of options and good spice and taste levels if asked for in advance. I prefer to cook since it's more economical, and since I care about my fitness goals, I tend not to trust the preservatives, etc. On outside food as much.
Dislikes (Value for money): The expenses relating to the tuition fees are quite hefty, and the expenses related to the normal accommodations can also be said to be amongst the most expensive ones in all of Europe. Further, keep in mind that there will be additional expenses on daily necessities like food due to the reason that the expenses for dining out in Dublin are higher than in any other European/Schengen country.

My experience as a master's student
Tips: What I have come to understand through my experience of transition is that now I can have an open mind without forming any judgment from the Indian perspective. Nevertheless, on the other hand, one thing that I did ensure during the process was to interact with people, learn about their culture, and get myself involved in the culture of Dublin. Yes, indeed, I have had a cultural transition experience. The experience which I have gone through in this regard is that the people are very polite and civic-minded. Do you receive any scholarships? In what way have you benefited from it, and how much do you receive as an allowance? No, I have not received any scholarships because there were no such scholarships available for the course at that time. Are you happy with your university, course and country? I am very happy with my university and Ireland. The people are very friendly, and I think that it has been a nice experience for me. Even though I was satisfied with my course and it was really enriching for me, I think that it was too easy for me.
Likes (Part time work): I will give my rating to that as 5 due to the fact that part-time jobs are an excellent way to gain some extra money for students. There are loads of opportunities for working and gaining some work experience and earning some extra money. Availability of On-Campus and Off-Campus Part-Time Jobs. There are some On-campus Part-Time Jobs for which one can apply. These involve lab assistant jobs and others. Other than this, there are some Off-campus Part-Time Jobs that many people apply to during their spare time in Supermarkets, Retail Shops, Cafes, and Restaurants. This is all possible due to the availability of many places. Balancing Work and Academics. For me, balancing work and academics is not at all difficult as I go to college three times a week. Average Earnings. There are two aspects when considering your earnings. They are the number of hours of work and the type of job. For your information: 20 hours of work per week: u20ac220 per week. 40 hours of work per week: u20ac450 or more per week.
Dislikes (Internships): I gave internships a rating of 2 because, being a postgraduate or master's student, getting internships can prove to be difficult. Companies usually design their internship programs for undergraduate students. This does not mean that postgraduates cannot get internships, but they just might be a little difficult to find.

TCD MSc Computer Science is Hectic
Tips: Every Master's course has 3 semesters and only 1 year. This means that pretty much all the courses in TCD, or at least STEM courses, are very hectic. You will get no time to breathe most days, but before you know it, it'll be over. Some people will find it easier than others, but you decide whether it is worth it for you.
Likes (Indian Food): Plenty of Indian restaurants around the city, but it is quite expensive to eat there. A small meal costs at least 10 EUR. I prefer cooking for myself, since it is easy to find ingredients at any Asian store and it's slightly cheaper. Asian stores are found everywhere.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Companies offer sponsorship, but this year it seems it's harder for international students to land interviews. There are opportunities and good packages, but much fewer than in previous years. TCD students are more likely to land these jobs generally, compared to other universities, but most students are still looking for jobs despite having finished their course.

Practical, Industry-focused learning and diverse networking
Tips: Before joining, please understand that you'll be in a classroom with students from diverse background so have an open and welcoming mindset. Never close track of the reason you're moving away from home, so be sincere at your studies. Be ready to step outside your comfort zone academically and personally as well. There are grants available for non EU students. Keep an eye out for the scholarships around Jan-March. Overall the course duration is going to be short and you'll have to face the heat of finding employment, managing studies and a social life all at once. Don't be overwhelmed.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): If you manage to find a well-paying and sponsored work visa job. Under critical skill visa rules, you'll be eligible for a Stamp 4 PR within 21 months. The work environment is good, and career-wise, Ireland is a promising destination, with major European MNC headquarters. Moreover, it's a peaceful country with long-term settlement options.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Not many companies are willing to pay the minimum amount required for getting a critical skill visa for a graduate role in Ireland. Even with 2 years of prior work experience, students are struggling to find a well-paying and sponsored work visa. There's an increasing number of candidates for one job profile, which leads to a flushing out of grades with minimal or no work experience.
