University College Dublin (UCD) Reviews and Ratings

• I used a third-party website to find accommodation, like daft. My monthly rent is 700 euros plus bills. It includes heating systems, a desk bed, cupboards, and a shared kitchen and bathroom.
• It's really hard to find one because of the number of students last year.
• Yes, if Students want to secure accommodation, it's better to plan as early as possible. Because at the last moment the prices get skyrocketed.
• It takes me 2 hours to get to College from my accommodation.

• You can apply online on your university website or you can use Facebook Marketplace, but beware, as scams happen on Facebook. There are multiple WhatsApp groups as well where people offer short-term or long-term accommodations. But according to my experience, in the initial days, always book student accommodation, as finding homes from India would be difficult or your housemates might not be according to your liking and you might end up shifting multiple times.
• Few websites for student accommodations are aparto, nido, hugo, point campus (these are the off-campus student accommodation slightly on higher side.)

• I used Amber Student to find my student accommodation, they helped me to know every detail of it. But there are more platforms like Cassata and University living. Not having anyone here to personally search and visit is a challenge I faced. I would recommend to ask someone who lives there to give proper visits and verify the property as there are scams taking place.

• With an ongoing crisis in Ireland, it is extremely difficult to find an accommodation that provides value for money. Though websites like daft.ie could be helpful sometimes, most people rely on Facebook/Whatsapp groups, which pose a risk of getting scammed.
• I would recommend finding a connection who would help you view properties to see if they are legitimate to avoid getting scammed. It is best to prefer student accommodations that provide end-to-end services or shared apartments.

Good presence and respect in Ireland. Good campus atmosphere and events. Professors are supportive, no negative points as such apart from hostel rentals.

I live in a student accommodation that sums up to 1200 euros each month which includes accommodation/gym/common areas

I would define my overall experience as satisfactory. I wasn't too overwhelmed by the experience, as it is exactly what I expected, yet there were some things which were really surreal for me.

Again, it is one of the best places around the globe to pursue your studies, regardless of your educational and research background.

Incredible.

After searching for various colleges, I found this university to be beneficial for me and its one of the top university so I decided to take admission at this university
