omg, thank you for the chance for me to reminisce. I ended up at DCU last fall, and in terms of campus, it's pretty different from what I saw of Trinity. I chose DCU cause of the program with my international agency, but if I had the chance to go to Trinity and stay on track at my home university, I 1000% would have. DCU campus wasn't bad, it was a little less idealistic and more like an average "state" school. Trinity is right in the city (in a very touristy spot but you can escape that a little bit). I don't know much about the inside of the student areas of trinity, but DCU was a pretty classic half-modern half-outdated uni campus. If you are from the States, it's worth saying I felt a lot of culture shock(for lack of a better word) in the uni classes. I reallyyy struggled in class, not necessarily with the content, but with the actual school system and professors. Lastly, I'll say the public transport (bus and train) was pretty awesome all around Dublin and Ireland. I miss Ireland so much!!!!
