Campus Life
- My college has 2 campuses, one in Belfield for engineering and other courses and one in Blackrock for mainly graduate business studies. The Blackrock campus is smaller than the Belfield one, and also the Belfield campus is very beautiful and modern as well. whereas the Blackrock campus is more traditional and will remind you about European architecture.
- Both the campuses have a huge library, host career events, have free breakfast during exam time, movie nights on campus, hiking trips, and have football, cricket, a gym, hockey, badminton, basketball, etc. If you have an interest in any sports, you can join their clubs.
