Research thoroughly before joining.
Tips: Know wisely, be prepared, and do not think about figuring out later; always have a backup. I did not avail myself of the scholarships but keep an eye out for those. Transition was smooth, depending on the people you find. Be curious, be gentle, be kind and always treat others with respect.
Likes (Part time work): The average payout is the minimum wage recently; it is pretty straightforward to be honest. UCD has many on-campus opportunities but the competition is tough, so be prepared. Even off-campus is not bad at all. The way to manage your work is to have a talk with your managers so that they know your availability, which will make it a little easier. Honesty is work, so do not take things too seriously but be responsible always. Also you can find work on the next day or maybe in 5 months so that is the luck factor.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Depends on the jobs you can find to sponsor. I always stress two things: your luck and experience so if you find one it is great. Always help everyone, no matter who or what race they are from. Be active, respect the community, and be proud of your hard work.

MSc Computer Science (Negotiated Learning) - Batch of 2023
3.1
Higher fees and numerous modules in CSNL.
Tips: If you have skills, you can join any college and get a good job. This is a safe option and the only one as far as I know, that gives internship modules in the 3rd sem. TCD is more academically oriented. UCD is one of the most expensive options, but the CSNL has a lot of modules.
Likes (Student Life): It offers a lively, supportive and inclusive environment. The library is good, they have cafes, lots of buildings, a huge campus. They arrange cultural fests like Diwali and Halloween. Excellent campus, lots of options to enrol in extracurricular activities like gym, swimming, sports, etc.
Dislikes (Indian Food): 1 veg option may be available in every restaurant, and vegan restaurants are not good. Taste is below average, and the high cost of living. I strongly prefer cooking my own vegetarian meals, but grocery shopping prices have been gradually increasing. Some restaurants offer cheaper takeaway and cash discounts.

A rewarding and globally enriching experience with strong academic and real world exposure.
Tips: International students should be prepared for an independent learning environment, a diverse campus and a high cost of living in Dublin. The transition is smooth though there will be a cultural shift of informal communication, emphasis on critical thinking and a more balanced lifestyle. Overall the experience is very rewarding with strong academic exposure and good career opportunities.
Likes (Internships): UCD provides a lot of on campus activities and they offer a lot of clubs to for students to join and engage themselves in extracurricular activities. There is a range of clubs to join based on everyone's interests. The clubs regularly keep events and activities for the engagement of the students.

It is a really good option for those who want a multidisciplinary experience.
Tips: You will be quite busy due to assignments and exams but if you manage your time properly, you will have a lot of time for yourself. There is a housing crisis going on so start searching for accommodation as soon as possible. Due to current attacks on Indian students, you must be prepared to face some racism also as it is quite common in city centre area.
Likes (Student Life): Student life here at UCD is quite good. I have joined a few clubs like dancing and the international students society which also takes us on several trips. Our college organised several events such as a job fair to help us connect with different companies and their recruiters.
Dislikes (Internships): Getting an internship in my field is difficult even when you have experience. And international student companies usually prefer candidates who don't need sponsorship and are permitted to work full time. Initially, stamp2 people are permitted to work only 20 hours.

Great opportunities and growth.
Tips: I haven’t availed any scholarship. I'm working part time. It's going to be hard but you've got to keep working plus learning even if your economic condition in India is between average and rich. The university work gets really piled up, too much work in too less time.
Likes (Safety): I dont know about living in the city yet I live at university so I feel safe all the time. The campus is huge and you almost get everything on campus you dont have to go anywhere else. But I've been around and buses and all the hot areas have heavy security.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are more Pakistani restaurants than Indian restaurants; moreover, the prices are skyrocketing. Food doesn’t taste as it used to in India. Some places like Andra Bhavan are really good for the taste but the prices aren’t for students its too high.

It’s a very good experience to learn and grow, meeting people from different origins and cultures.
Tips: I did not get any scholarship. It was quite hard at first because of the weather conditions and the food but after a few months, you start to enjoy it. I'm very satisfied. It has been an amazing experience as you get to explore new areas and new people. Feel free to reach out to faculty. They are supportive and understanding.
