Unique multicultural experience.
Tips: You have to be prepared for dealing with people from different countries; it will be more beneficial for you to socialise and make the most of it and not stick to your group. Join various societies related to your career field to add points to your resume and make a good report with the faculty as they can be helpful later as well. You should start applying for jobs and graduate programmes as soon as you get here. Do your research on companies and job roles, as the market is saturated. Also try to do research on how the assignment system works here as it is very different from India.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): I would permanently settle here. You can get a PR in 5 years after completing your graduation and then apply for citizenship. The process can be quicker if you get a critical skills work visa or a bit lower if you are on a general skills work permit.
Dislikes (Safety): They have many options for societies and clubs that students can join to build additional skills and network like DUCG, ENACTUS, etc. They have a very helpful career cell that helps students with resumes, interviews and related questions. They also conduct workshops to make students aware of the latest hiring trends, resume building, alumni talk etc. Students have access to a 24/7 library.

Fast-paced course with good career opportunities.
Tips: The transition can be tough in the beginning due to changes in communication styles, level of independence, and even the way of life. There were no scholarships available for our program. Overall, I'm happy with the university program and Ireland.
Likes (Value for money): Value for money received a rating of 5 since there is high gain on investment, considering that this is a one-year program. TCD has a good reputation in the world, and this increases your chances of getting a job. Majority of the students are able to find jobs immediately after graduating, and hence the cost of education is well worth it.
Dislikes (Internships): The internship received a rating of 1 since the duration of studies is one year, making it difficult to get an internship. Time available is very limited. Some assistance has been given to us.

Best institution; expensive country.
Tips: Before joining or coming to the country, make sure that you solve your housing as it is a big task, also your Irp and pps should be properly managed as without that you can't work. Managing your finances here is also very important as the country is pretty expensive compared to other institutions.
Likes (Safety): It is one of the safest universities with no racism. They make sure everyone is treated the same and can receive the best of the knowledge, at the same time, you need to be safe in the city and do not travel alone at night as it is not that safe and may create problems.
Dislikes (Quality of faculty): The college is one of the best institutions of ireland as well as it is the diverse university with people from each part of the country so that international minds come together to make a better change. The teaching style is more practical rather than bookish.

Top ranking university with high facilities.
Tips: Be prepared to read ourselves. Ready to take all the hardships like managing classes, part times and assignments. Know the academics start applying part time and complete your reading based on the requirements and focus on assignments and be available.
Likes (Public transportation): Affordable and easy access to find the options. Connectivity is through the city. The buses and DART and Luas are easily accessible from everywhere in the city, so it's easy all the time you find public transport and is convenient and affordable.
Dislikes (Part time work): Very few on campus opportunities but you have plenty of off campus opportunities and according to the schedule of Trinity, it's hard to manage the part-time. The minimum payout is 13.5 euros per hour. Be focused on the academics and try to free up and then find a part time later.

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. 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.
