The infrastructure is not so good but the professors are very helpful and friendly.
Tips: I've felt like I've known the college since I joined SETU. There wasn't any cultural difference on campus, but I did notice some cultural difference outside the campus. That's common, though. I received a scholarship from the college that significantly reduced the amount I had to pay for tuition. When it comes to safety, I am very much satisfied with it. Apart from campus security, when you come out of campus to explore places without any safety concern, we have Gaurda (police) who facts quickly when the situation turn bad. Mostly the people are cool, so there is no need to worry about safety. When I had to work, I worked until 3 a. m. , and after work I had to walk for an hour to get home. I enjoy walking home and it's easy to walk home at that time without any fear. Overall, I am moderate satisfied with my experiences.
Dislikes (Value for money): I don't think the modules which we are studying are that in-depth. They are just very easy to learn, and I could also learn them without a professor. I think I paid more tuition feels for this kind of modules, and it is far below the standards.

The curriculum is tough and you have to submit your assignments on time.
Tips: Students should be aware of the college life, academic programs, campus culture, extra-curricular activities, support services, the location, time management expectations, and required resources for success and failure. You should also research the college thoroughly before applying, which includes looking at how you will pay for your education and whether the university offers scholarships. The faculty here are good, warm, welcoming, and the classes are highly interactive and enjoyable. The people here are good too. Overall, I am quite satisfied with my experiences.

It is a good university, and they provide the educational resources that are industry relevant.
Tips: There is no culture change here, but you can apply for a scholarship of up to 4,000 euros. I am pleased with the university and its professors. In the coming days, getting a part-time job will be much more difficult because too many students are coming to Ireland. This is the main reason for the part-time shortage in Ireland currently. Many new students are struggling to find part-time work. It will take up to 3 months to find a part-time job. If you have skills and a little bit of English-speaking skills, you can easily get a job here. I've seen more Indians in the IT field than Irish because skill is important in every job and opportunity. Learn a skill before applying for a job. It's not the best in Ireland, but overall, it is a good school with plenty of educational resources.

SETU is a good university with structured courses.
Tips: Students coming from different backgrounds might experience a bit of a cultural shift. SETU offers a range of scholarships through an application process that assesses academics. Most students find SETU's courses well structured. The faculty is always there to help students do their best, and students should not hesitate to ask for help. However, there are very few opportunities to get a part-time job. Overall, I am quite satisfied with the course.

For easy going students who only want to pass
Tips: Students coming here must apply for online 2000 Euro scholarship.
Easy going college with no issue with attendance. You can do part-time and make a lot of money during the course.
Cheap and the best, however, Dublin has opportunities in terms of professional jobs as compared to Waterford if you can spend some extra money go to Dublin.
Likes (Public transportation): Public transportation in Waterford is quite good. Being a small city a lot of buses run from the city centre however, you need to get a student leap card online that will cost you very cheap public transport so get a leap student card as soon as you land.
Dislikes (Indian Food): For food, if you know how to cook it will be best for you and would be really cheap however if you order or go out it will be expensive. Please learn cooking else you will save nothing here. Especially for vegetarians, life is difficult if you don't know how to cook.

A place to shape your career
Tips: We might face a little cultural difference at first but we get used to it. The people around are quite friendly. I have learned to be independent and manage my expenses. We have a very good work-life balance here.
The course I opted for didn’t have any scholarship. The university is good. You will get to learn a lot. Although the weather in Ireland is a bit gloomy. Be ready to experience all the seasons in a single day.
Likes (Quality of faculty): You can reach to faculty any time over calls or mails. They try to rectify students' doubts. The study is mostly practical based so the understanding of the concepts is clear. The faculty are majority Irish, and their accent is a little difficult to catch at first but you will get used to it.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Ireland doesn’t have many India restaurants and the ones that are present are comparatively very high. A biryani would be more than 20 euros.
Baguettes are one of the cheapest options you can find here (€5). I would prefer to cook at home and eat mostly at home.
