Trinity College Dublin is definitely one of the most beautiful universities in the world! The views are breathtaking, and it even has the Book of Kells! Not only is the campus stunning, but the academic environment is also highly professional. I love the wide variety of clubs and societies available for students to join—there are 120 in total!

Great college, loving my time here. Campus is beautiful and the facilities are great. Free gym, great societies and sports clubs, study spaces are really good, location is second to none. Can't believe they didn't allow Catholics to study here until the 1970s lol

Trinity is a nightmare. It operates as a business brand for the privileged, masquerading as a legitimate institution of higher education. If you're considering pursuing a PhD, do not invest your time and money there; it's simply not worth it. The administrative system is outdated, and even for straightforward requests, you may find yourself waiting for months. While there may be a minority of individuals who fulfill their duties correctly, the overall system is consistently dysfunctional. There is a lack of clarity in many areas, particularly concerning financial matters like fellowships. They advertise positions on their website, but when you attempt to apply for a specific role, you'll encounter a lack of information and nobody respond you. Consequently, positions are often distributed based on favoritism or to those who have had informal access to the information. Trinity embodies academic corruption, I strongly advise students and academics against it.

Could improve on having more societies, and rooms for holding events ex. Dance classes. Also gym gets too crowded, so maybe a service that would manage that issue would solve a problem. Ex students booking their slots. Overall Trinity is a nice college.

Trinity is a great school for academic students looking to study and further their education, but the divide between socioeconomic background is much more stark than the school paints it to be. With most club gatherings and balls being expensive to attend, accessing these groups is becoming considerably more difficult, especially considering the lack of scholarships and financial aid available. While they advertise a vibrant social life, the only students that get to participate are the ones that can afford to tickets to the galas and pub nights, and risk retaking a years worth of classes. All other students are, consequently, isolated from their upper class peers, stuck in libraries and labs. While it is by no doubt a great opportunity to attend trinity, once students are there, it becomes very clear who can afford to enjoy their time there, and who must work, because they can’t afford to retake a whole year of classes again, or lose any scholarships they have.

Trinity makes life hard unnecessarily - wouldn't recommend, at least for STEM courses. Don't expect clear instructions or any guidance from lecturers - unhelpful and rude, usually refusing to answer questions and belittling you for even asking. Honestly felt like I was constantly begging for the simplest of information, like due dates or grade weightings. Feedback is a rarity. Material covered in lectures doesn't follow any sort of structure and is often completely different to what is asked of you in exams or assignments. Usually, lecturers are self-indulgent and speak at length about their own research - very rarely is it relevant, coherent, or interesting. Trinity is an impressive campus but not really catered towards students. Very few student spaces to hang out or eat at, which almost forces you to spend your money in exchange for sitting indoors. No real student supports, Counselling services are rotten, career guidance was practically non-existent. Admin is AWFUL.

Perfect if you never have any problems. If you need support or get ill then TCD is the worst place for you. Guidelines and rules are so inaccessible, unclear and subject to their f off attitude and you WILL end up paying extra, going off books or graduating late.

My experience with Trinity College totally falls under the overall discomfort related to the pandemic. Due to COVID, I've never been able to visit neither the campus nor the city of Dublin, so I invite you to consider my words accordingly. I did not appreciate how the university handled the whole thing. I paid a lot of money to take part to an MPhil I am not very happy to have attended. The professors were very good, but the institution made me feel alone, abandoned. For someone who could not go outside due to the restrictions, the workload revealed to be quite heavy: I went burnout almost twice and event went to the hospital. Moreover, the digital library services were insufficient, so I had to find "colorful" ways to retrieve material to write my dissertation. No, we did not have a discount. Last but not least, my degree was not specialising at all, and I spent eight months sending hundreds of curricula. Happy to have stayed at home, the student housing cost was ridiculous anyways.

I feel like I graduated despite how the programme was structured, not by benefiting from the academic excellence Trinity likes to brag about. Professors seemed swamed by their work as researchers - which advances their careers more than teaching - and the educational experience suffers greatly under this. Seminars were often little more than research papers verbally summarised by a professor with lack of interest in teaching being evident. Feedback on papers in the Master program that I did was often just a number slapped on a submission months after the deadline. When I ocasionally asked for clarification I received either snappy or no responses at all. Other annoyances are a lack of seating spaces to eat, effectively forcing you to spend money in the canteen if you want to stay warm and dry. As a graduate I thus reach this conclusion: If you want a good name on your CV, study at Trinity. If you want an engaging educational experience, consider other options.

Trinity is generally a good university, with a lot of life happening. However, you can tell it is slowly getting interested only with getting more and more money, milking students more each year. The TCDSU is not really 100% towards defending us, since it is more a façade for the administration to appease students and pretend they care. I have encountered a lot of issues with connecting with the WIFI. Also they do not seem to care about students’ mental health since the waiting time is 3 months for a meeting and they have not increased the budget allocated to it, despite their claims.

The one problem would be the lack of seating for people wanting to eat food. There’s no area where people can bring their own food to eat. You’re kicked out of the Buttery if you eat anything other than what they sell you. How is this fair? Not everyone can afford to pay for lunch everyday and that doesn’t mean they should be told to sit outside and eat it.

I was deeply deeply unhappy the whole time I studied here. What is crazy to me is how good everything outside uni was going while studying there was absolutely miserable. Trinity was happy to hold me up as an example from a ‘disadvantaged area’ at an event in first year, but the support pretty much stopped there. The first two years were exhausting trying to pander to Trinity students who tend to be pretty well off and not very inclusive, and I found it very hard to make genuine friends. There was no full time professors in my department, just lecturers who come in for an hour or two a day other than that the building is empty. In first year I had ten hours a week, and the hours went down ever year so that in my final year I had just 5 hours a week plus a 10 minute zoom slot to talk about my portfolio. You might think I’m being pessimistic or dramatic, but I would genuinely implore you to explore other options and get opinions from other people before you choose Trinity.

The actual learning is really good and the social aspect is really good, but the current student union body is terrible i don’t understand how they were elected. The careers guidance, i don’t know if it’s just for my field, but it’s basically non existent, i’m finishing third year and have practically no idea of what my options are for when I finish. That’s something they could use a little more work with. I’m in stem, and all the lab facilities are really good. However, the administration in Trinity is literally so bad, a lot of important information my course found out was through people in the year ahead or from people in other courses. It needs a lot of improvement.

I love going to college in Trinity, especially now since campus has opened back up. The facilities such as the libraries and the gym are great. The college also makes an effort to ensure students have help for whatever they need, and know who they can ask for help whenever.

Campus facilities are dated, staff care little about education but love to research irrelevant topics. Clubs are pretentious and full of rich southside kids who compare their dads jobs. Student union is the same, rich southside socialites with too much time on their hands. I got 0 careers help at any stage from the college. Nobody once spoke about the relevance of what I was studying to work... And I studied engineering. Wifi is the best thing about the college.

Experience of a science & health science faculty student. Campus/Facilities 2/5, lack of student space in the science side of campus for eating, studying, printing facilities were often out of order, computer room spaces were insufficient. Clubs and societies 3/5, there was a huge array of clubs and societies that would put on plenty of events all year. Students Union 3/5, often disengaged from SU likely due to distance, SU and faculty miscommunications leading to disruption of student services occurring during my time. Careers service 3/5, the careers service is excellent, the guidance councilors especially so, however, their services could be better funded to allow students more time with councilors/other services. Internet/Wifi 4/5, Wifi's fine . Not described above: College Health Services is extremely overbooked, getting appointments could take a month, but the staff working there are very nice. College mental health/counseling service is heavily underfunded

Underfunded music department, no soundproofing or proper practice facilities, poor choice of modules, the odd bad lecturer, cash grabbing administration who are terrible at actually helping students and consistently put the universities status as a tourist destination above its duties to current students.

For a college known to be prestigious, it really doesnt invest in its students or their facilities. Some buildings are so old and nothing is done about them. If only they used the money they got from the book of kells to improve facilities.

The societies are the best things about Trinity College Dublin. Each society has great facilities and the work ethic of the committee are incredible. On the campus I feel the college needs more areas for sitting down and reading that is not the library. There is a lack of “hang out” places for people who are not in a society and the quality of the ones that are already there is lacking. The gym could be bigger and the WiFi never worked for me once in my four years there. I would of liked more help in the career service and I did not get much. Trinity is an amazing place however in terms of it’s historical campus ground and the atmosphere within the walls of the college is always so vibrant and exciting. I love this university a lot.

Its a lovely campus, and has many great facilities. Although eduroam never works for students, and the Students’ Union didn’t provide much support for movements such as the no detriment exam policy. The SU have shops on campus which is great though. Student goods at discounted prices and the Tcard. I haven’t been interacting with the careers service that much but they’re alright. Clubs and Societies are great, just needs a lot more funding
