" I had a very positive experience! Absolutely gorgeous campus, great options for studying on campus (I spent a considerable amount of time in the postgrad reading room and Berkeley Library), nice library, access to extremely old texts in a special viewing room and amazing professors. Aside from studies, there were fun balls and socials and the location of the university is in the heart of the city so there's loads of off campus pubs/cafes super close. "

" Overall a good University with a reputable reputation. However logistical systems and administration is very 'old school' and somethings things can take longer than expected. Overall the campus is in central Dublin with it's own grounds and lots of sports facilities, providing great outdoor and indoor leisure areas as well as a University pub and cafeteria. "

" A terrible place if you want to live a university life, great if you want to rot away in a library. Accommodation is only available for first-year undergraduates and masters students. The social scene is practically non-existent unless you live in Trinity Halls or on campus. Your only other option is private accommodation which is ridiculously expensive. I barely had any lectures about 10-12 hours a week for 2 consecutive years now. The exams are way too easy and this whole place is just a soul-draining experience. I thought I would get to meet new people socialise, go to parties, make friends but it's nothing like that. Just a bunch of competitive, egotistic over-achievers studying in the library and living at home with their parents. "

" International student from America and really enjoyed my time at Trinity. Great society scene and plenty of international students. Academic staff is a bit of a mixed bag, but usually I found most professors and TAs were pretty good, although you'll get a real poor professor at least once or twice within your time here. Easy to make friends with international students and Irish students from the country. Generally everyone is sound, but it can be a bit harder to socialize with Dublin kids since most stick to their social circles from secondary school. Also Trinity's reputation for being posh is no lie, the poshness can at times be endearing and at other times the austerity will annoy you to bits. However, the social scene is great and real easy to find events, can find anything from debates on Central Asian foreign policy to real scummy nights out in rundown techno clubs. The admin staff is notoriously slow and understaffed, so be prepared to have a bit of a headache if you want anything from them. Overall, got to say I enjoyed my time here and would recommend to anyone who is looking for an urban campus with a large variety of clubs, societies and social events. "

" Great college to attend! Supports available to students are especially useful. My experiences with student counselling and disability services really added to my time in college. There is a wide variety of clubs and societies, each with numerous events running throughout the semester. The Psychology and French departments were easy to deal with, staff were helpful and understanding and the courses of study themselves were really valuable. "
