My school is actually just the best there is in Dublin! The campus itself is gorgeous (perfect spot for instagram pictures and tiktoks!!), with loads of different facilities and a building per faculty too which is super cool. It has great initiatives every week such as careers week which allows students to access a wide range of opportunities and further their career. It offers a lot of academic support such as the writing centre (was in there almost every assignment since first year!). The clubs and societies are great too and I always enjoy the clubs and socs fair as there’s always different freebies going out and opportunities for meeting new people. Lastly but definitely the most important, is the amazing food! Chips and chicken for only 5.50?!?!? Sign me up! (The food in the nursing building I’m usually in is kind of rip off though 😭)

I love my college, great atmosphere and everyone is super nice
I'm a forst year student that studies STEM and for someone who has never been to DCU before beginning my college life, It's been amazing. I never thought I'd fit like a glove and for some reason, I couldn't really imagine being in any other university aside for there. Both the campus,& community are all exciting to do. I really hope that the firther I go along this journey in DCU, the more I'll feel that I'm home, and that newcomers will also feel that this college becomes a safe space as it did for me; guiding me and my colleague to an unpredictable yet exciting future.
DCU is a great university. They truly care about their students. Their facilities are great and I really appreciate the dedication they have to making students’ experience in college enjoyable. They have so many support systems which shows how caring they are for their students and their wellbeing. I’m so proud to be a student in DCU and I when I graduate I will be proud to say I spent the best three years of my life in DCU and with friends I made in DCU.
It's been a lovely experience so far, the supervision and facilities are excellent.
DCU is a very good school that has a lot of practical classes that prepare you for the future of employment. It also provides the best university life everyone is always so eager to help, always friendly and has the best society events both fun, educational and career wise. 100 % would recommend!

Attending Dublin City University is a life-changing experience. The world-class faculty, diverse student body, and cutting-edge resources truly set it apart. The campus is not only stunning but also offers an inspiring atmosphere for learning. The university's commitment to academic excellence and its strong sense of community make it a top choice. I will graduate soon and feeling well-prepared for the future, and I am incredibly proud to be part of Dublin City University.

Great University to study i. Dublin Ireland
Great college, a real community feel to it
The uni is good in general. The academic resources are abundant with huge collections of books both in the libraries and on the internet. The only disadvantage is the student support is not very helpful.
Vibrant university with diverse options of study and extra curricular activities
Great experience with the teaching staff. Lots of experience gained which has helped me grow a lot

Good university with competitive curriculum.
Really love this university, the people are so nice and welcoming.
Amazing University, I love this place so much. There are many clubs and society’s where you can find friends, and just enjoy college life. The lecturers are all really nice (in my experience so far), and really understanding regarding extensions to deadlines etc.. The facilities are great and so is the location (quite close to the city centre). Overall I love DCU and i’m so glad I attend this university.
Dublin City University- I really enjoy this college and my course
Only getting started but love it so far
Great college e perience and lectures/lecturers. Careers service, students union and grant programs could house some betterment but no major complaints.
Modules all online this year so no comments.
It was a great experience even considering current circumstances
Technological university Dublin
Dublin City University is a well recognised institution with first rate faculty and an impressive array of courses.
Excellent university. The lecturers where extremely helpful.
Modern university, careful staff, all you need for studying is there including free laptops and computers, libraries, free rooms for group studies. Communicative staff, well organized.
The most progressive and modern university in the country that is miles ahead of everyone else.
Excellent college with channels into any area of knowledge, would recommend
I really love DCU because of the relations students have with their lecturers. Everyone is treated individually, everyone can ask for help if needed and I feel like every lecturer really tries their best to make every student feel and do their best
A great college , it’s a really nice relaxed atmosphere where everyone feels accepted
Absolute best university I originally went to UCD but dropped out after a year and went to DCU, when comparing the two I found DCU had more to offer both academically and socially. It has a sort of family atmosphere where everyone plays an important role. Classes are smaller and more personal so lecturers go to a special effort to teach everyone at all levels, individually. The facilities for students are exemplary with only a short walk between all. In my previous college experience I had a long walking trip between facilities like gym and library, even basic lecture halls. Overall I’d really recommend DCU if you’re looking for a thriving college life and do well academically. 10/10
DCU is community, people look after eachother and we are one big family. The uni is small but not too small it’s perfect!
