The university is amazing, beautiful and very resourceful.
Tips: You must get in touch with your course seniors, know about the subjects, and decide wisely if you really like the subjects or not. Do research on the job market based on your experience. There isn't a placement system here, so it gets really hectic finding a job or even a part-time job, so be prepared for that. The university is amazing, very beautiful, very resourceful. Make full use of your time.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty is top-notch and really helpful. They are accessible through emails and also offline appointments. The teaching is mostly case studies, assignments, and interaction-based, which gives an overview of how you will be using the subject knowledge in the real world. The faculty is diverse, with many guest lecturers with expertise in teaching all over the world.
Dislikes (Safety): The attacks on Indians, especially students, are increasing day by day. The college is located right in the heart of the city and poses a risk of theft, attacks, casual racism, etc., due to its proximity to the city centre. It gets a little more unsafe after dark. Transportation is limited to a certain time.

Embrace the cultural shift. Develop a strong sense of civic responsibility.
Tips: Embrace the cultural shift. Develop a strong sense of civic responsibility. The environment is generally safe, but remain vigilant and cautious. While I didn't receive a scholarship, securing one is highly beneficial. The university, people, and course are all excellent, and the country is great too. However, approach the job market post-graduation with an open mind and a flexible attitude, as it can be very competitive, even for part-time positions.
Likes (Indian Food): The Indian restaurants are priced in the mid to high range. I enjoy cooking myself, which influenced my rating. The raw ingredients for most Indian dishes are readily available; you just need to look for them. There are multiple options for everything, and a decent variety of places to eat, allowing for creativity and exploration of other cuisines as well.
Dislikes (Internships): There were no internships provided or easily available. The college did not help arranging those even the dissertation companies were not interested in the interaction. Basically there's no hand holding or favours. You have to be reseilient, persevere and get what you want.

Great student life with many on-campus events.
Tips: There has definitely been a cultural shift. Students address teachers by their names, rather than "Sir" or "Ma'am." Students can leave class, eat, or drink soda without explanation. Basic civic courtesy, such as holding doors and making eye contact, is also common. Following these norms is crucial to avoid negative perceptions and the potential for increased racism.
Likes (Public transportation): There are tons of things to do. The Trinity Sports app allows participation in around 44 different sports. I enjoyed climbing the 36-foot climbing wall in the college. I also attended badminton social sessions, which occurred every two days. Apart from sports, there are various social and cultural events, such as "new to Dublin" events, festivals, and talks. A global room hosts these events. Participating in these activities will allow you to learn a lot and have fun.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): The recent, unprovoked attacks on Indians are a growing concern. While I haven't personally experienced any racial incidents, it's been observed that local teens are essentially immune to the law. They often get away with wrongdoing without facing proper punishment. My main advice would be to stay in groups, especially at odd hours.

The quality of education is very good; they provide excellent education.
Tips: I've transitioned to my full potential; I was a completely different person back then. Now, I feel more confident interacting with people and working independently. There's definitely a cultural shift. The way education is handled in India is very different from here. People greet you differently, and everything seems very nice and welcoming.
Likes (Value for money): The quality of education is very good; they provide excellent education. The course is well-structured and always informative. Students receive new assignments every week during their coursework. The professors are very polite and humble. It is value for money.
Dislikes (Safety): Safety is good, but it's important to be vigilant. The city is safe, even at night, but we need to take precautions. Don't carry valuables in crowded places, and avoid prolonged conversations with strangers. Following the rules is essential for staying safe.

Student life is excellent at TCD.
Tips: In the beginning, you may find it difficult to adjust to the Irish culture and the rules here, but eventually you'll get used to it. There are plenty of opportunities to avail of scholarships from TCD. Overall, the university provides a rich academic experience with a focus on extracurricular activities as well.
Likes (Student Life): Student life is excellent at TCD. I spent most of my time in lecture rooms and the library studying and completing assignments. The university also offers a wide range of options for sports enthusiasts, including a nice park, canteens, and a bar. Events organised by TCD include career fairs, induction programs, and many other events.
Dislikes (Safety): The campus is secure from outside threats, and students feel completely safe inside. It's just that certain areas around the university tend to not be safe at times. The teenagers have no laws associated with them, and they take advantage of it and try to mess with immigrants. So it's better to stay away from them if you spot them.

Top Irish University for International students.
Tips: Do look out for scholarships and get in touch with seniors to know about the scope of your course and opportunities after completion. Make connections beforehand. Do not shy away from participating in cultural and extracurricular activities in and around the college campus. The campus and library are beautiful, so spend time there. It's in the heart of the city, which makes going to class every day something to look forward to.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty is excellent. Visiting faculty members are from all over the world with an enormous loads of knowledge and experience. Even Ph.D. students are very helpful. Scheduling a meeting is simple and systematic. Opportunities for Ph.D. S are also offered through faculty referrals.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Indian restaurants are plenty, but they are pretty expensive. These restaurants have adapted to the European taste and offer a comparatively local experience. Options are plenty, but it's better to try new cuisines. South Indian places are generally better.
