    UCD has 2 campus, Belfield is their main campus. Approx 4 KM from Belfield campus they have UCD smurfit for management studies. Belfield is very huge and has all facilities for students. Connectivity is great they have a bus stop in university campus and every 5-10 minutes a bus arrives/ departs from their campus bus stop. They have huge car parking and massive accommodation in campus. There are many libraries in Belfield. James joyce library was very helpful for my studies and one can find all required books related to their subjects in the libraries. There is also a career network office. There are 2 coffee vans in campus where one can get snacks and coffee. These vans/ coffee trucks are not open on weekends. There are few restaurants also in campus where one can get nice food and they also have many vegetarian options. Campus has a massive lake and sitting area for students. There is an ample space for cycle parking at Belfield. At end of campus there are many playgrounds and one can book game field as per their requirement. Overall is it a very nice campus with great Connectivity and infrastructure. Just outside Belfield canpus there is pizza hut, many coffee shops and also dorset student accommodation. Stillorgan village is approx 3 KM from Belfield and city center is approx 5 KM.

    Ucd festival, great success again this year. Indoor and outdoor interactive stands for all aged 3 to 103. Covering subjects from under the ground right up into outer space and the world of virtual reality. Great community, commercial and academic collaboration.

    It is one of the largest campuses I’ve ever been to. The lecturers are very helpful. There is always support for students whenever required: from stress management, time management, writing, financial and all. They also give away lots and lots of scholarships. It’s a home away from home. Truly a sanctuary school. I am proud to have attained my MSc here.

    Great campus. Easy to navigate around the place. Clear directions. One of the best university in Ireland. Great student atmosphere. Lot of cafe and student social stuffs. Staffs and people are friendly here. Very spacious campus. The architecture of some buildings are modern and minimalistic. The public transport are constant here, just at the two side of the entrance.

    I studied in this university for 5 years from 2014 - 2019, and what an excellent education I received here. I graduated with a 1:1 Bachelors of Agricultural science degree (Specialising in Horticulture and Landscape mgt) OK WELL... Educational facilities, e.g laboratories, classrooms, computer rooms, tutorials, studios, Library, ag testing sites....are next level, 1st class ++++ Educational staff: A++ were really great, very helpful, understanding, good presenters, extremely knowledgeable, links with Industry etc... Course content: very thorough, applicable to industry A+ Campus: B-..........A lot of people complain about the campus, but tbh its very green, well maintained, two lakes, open air, safe, bright. My only gripe would be there are not enough places to hang out/congregate!! its almost too big, in a weird way XD Club & Societies- A+++ Absolutely incredible. i got really involved with the mountaineering club, Horticulture society and rowing team too :) so much to offer, they add so much value, easy way to meet new people!!! amazing fun. Social life: GRADE C......I found it really difficult to meet new friends here (and I know many many others that did)...i really had a hard time integrating and i'm not a shy, or introverted person at all. Although I met many people I only made like 2 real friends in 4 years which is kinda dissapointing. I was so desperate to fit in, but I never could, I still dunno why to this day. Many of my friends went to TCD, DCU and trinity made so many new friends and life long friends...but there is something about UCD that makes it hard to make real friends. In the first 3 months, lots of people form a clique that they stick with for the next 4 years and if you aren't in a clique by then, well then good luck. I knew a lot of lonely people here, some even dropped out because of it. I mean I was very lonely for periods in UCD. The bar at UCD, isn't much craic at all, got a weird layout and pretty small for the size of UCD. it was the last day on campus, and they were playing live music and everyone was standing there like fools. So it ended being just me and two punk guys that danced XD beer is expensive too, like regular prices. (DONT GET ME WRONG, You will be friendly and have 'uni friends' yes, but long term mates, outside of campus, im not sure) This really is my only gripe, which is why I give it 4 stars instead of 4!!! BUT STILL, VERY GRATFEFUL FOR MY EDUCATION HERE, and it was a fantastic experience all the same. I leave you with a great photo from HORTICULTURE SOCIETY (Which I managed for 2 years) and mountaineering party and Rosemount, ! I am gonna be an Alumni in a few years after I make my millions in Agriculture, thanks everyone at UCD.

    Finished my Masters in Food Safety here in 2019. Quality of education is pretty good. Facilities are on point. One of the better universities in Ireland. A lot of extra curricular activities organised all round the year. No racism or any other issue as per my experience. Teaching staff is quite knowledgeable. I loved my time there. 10/10

    Memory Lane. I was here from 1980-86 (Science). Wandered around location of old Belfield Bar (footprint part of large pond now!) & 'new' bar that replaced it, (sad looking one story concrete building in these pics). All's changed, changed utterly!

    Big campus, and if your not in college a lovely place to go for a walk. Theirs 2 lakes and many coffees shops any one can use you don’t have to be a student. Gorgeous in the summer!

    I'm student in the university doing n engineering course, I'm mostly in the science building. I find this building to be one of the best buildings I the university. It has everything that a student wyld need, a cafe plenty of lounge areas where you can do you work, the lecture theaters are nice and modern as well as it is close to the James Joyce library

  • 1/5 Anthony T. 2 years ago on Google
    Went to get son vaccinated. Took over half an hour to find the place. See photo of sign post example. It's on the pole...see it? No? Well, neither could we until after we came out. And as for the exit from the building...up stairs in the dark . And then couldn't find our way out of UCD until I saw a bus and followed it.

    The campus is a great view. The O'Reily hall and the pond beside give you calm impression!
