Description: The University is located on a fifty acre campus in the northern suburbs of Dublin. Most of the University's programmes are provided in new, purpose-built buildings designed specifically for their needs, while the University's engineering programmes are currently housed largely in the older buildings on campus, some of which date back to the establishment of the Albert
Agricultural College in the last century. The latter have been extensively refurbished and modernised. The campus with its adjoining parks
constitutes a pleasant and productive environment for study and research.

Be aware that Dublin bus drivers do not provide change to users...try to have the exact fare, 1.35 if going to DCU...It´s a bugger, but then you´ll be able to buy bus tickets.

If you need an accomadation apply for Shanowen residences(outside the campus), it's the same price as DCU but you are more independant (no room inspections, can have guests at night...)

As a person who had study abroad for one year now, I can say that studying away from my home and away from my family is the best thing that have ever happened to me. Not only in the academic perspective, but also personally. You learn how live is...

I regret I hadn't had the opportunity to travel more because I had to spend all the money in housing. Dublin is great and studying over there is a great experience, but at some expense : few expenses in night life, social and cultural life.

Ireland is a nice country. You can travel around easily by car, but mind the narrow roads. Dublin is a developing city. Unfortunately the traffic is horrible and the bus system too. They're currently building a tramnet.
The school is nice too, bu...
