" The campus was good and I enjoyed my time there. I guess my only complaints would be that the Western Gateway is a bit of a trek from the main campus and mobile/wifi connectivity was abit of a hit or miss in some places. "

" Very good college overall, although some student supports could be improved (such as UCC mental health services). But I'd say the same thing is said about all the universities in Ireland. Good facilities and good activities both in the classroom learning and on campus in general. "
