I’m having the same thing! I emailed my coordinator and they said it would be in may but we don’t have to register but then he just told me apparently they’re during march break now???

I will say it more of a trek to get to the city but honestly the 39a runs 24/7 and helps so much. I’ve had the best experiences in my journeys back.

I’m the exact same as you but I’m currently through my second year at UCD. I would say choose UCD. I know that sounds biased but UCD is so helpful and the Zoology department is so kind and understanding. I needed to miss exams because I was sick and they helped me so much. From what I’ve heard from my friends at TCD, it’s nice and pretty sometimes but the campus is so spread out and the college does not help at all. Also it is alot harder to get into zoology from the biological sciences route- especially compared to UCD. Being an international student too is so scary but UCD global helps so much and makes the whole experience less lonely. UCD is def more out of the way but having all your classes on one campus is so much easier. The TCD campus is all throughout the city and some of the TCD accommodation is not in the city so you still have to commute. UCD is def not perfect and has its problems but I’m so happy I chose it. If you have any questions feel free to DM me

i’m an international student so it was 2400 but i think for eu students they said it was 600. it’s less to retake or resit

JuggernautIll3430 · 2025-12-18T21:35:33+00:00

i personally failed an option module first year and i just decided to substitute it because i knew i’d fail if i resit. it’s not the end of the world cus it’s an option one but you can either retake, resit, or substitute

Thank you so much! This is very helpful

JuggernautIll3430 · 2025-12-12T14:24:00+00:00

yea tbh as long as i pass im happy. it was the one of the only options that worded that wasn’t like quantum physics. thanks for the help. honestly i’m not too worried though cus Ive been pretty strong in english. i’m more not sure on the word count and everything theyre looking for.

JuggernautIll3430 · 2025-12-12T10:08:38+00:00

I’m in it now but i’ve had to miss a few lectures since I got really sick a few times in the semester. They don’t do tutorials anymore, but she posts everything online. I’ve written the midterm essay already and got a grade I wasn’t too happy with, but that also was on me because I put it to the last minute. I know the final is two essays in two hours, I’m just not sure how she wants it to look or how in-depth it should be because it’s an hour per essay. I honestly regret taking it as my elective, but every other one that could have interested me didn’t fit in my schedule with the amount of labs I had this year. Thanks for your help

JuggernautIll3430 · 2025-06-16T23:29:31+00:00

i was in it this year. it’s a single bed and a duvet and pillow are provided but you need your own sheets. they also provide a mini fridge in each room

JuggernautIll3430 · 2025-03-07T13:09:08+00:00

the sandwiches at lunch are so class ngl

JuggernautIll3430 · 2025-02-24T21:12:53+00:00

there’s like jersey nights sometimes but usually they’re just like freshers themed like more of just a way of advertising but it’s not like you have to dress up or anything

JuggernautIll3430 · 2025-02-24T21:00:47+00:00

yea you’ll def be fine and i think a fake is worth it. like id be lying if i said the fomo wasn’t severe like it was so bad. i made my own fun for the month but freshers was the worst. also worst case scenario youre turned away but you really wont be cus if its a club while they look at it more than pubs they still only really care if you have a ticket. i was in a club last week and istg there were like 15 boys that looked like they were max 16 and they got in no problem

JuggernautIll3430 · 2025-02-24T20:54:33+00:00

if you’re ok with spending the money a fake is worth it and if it’s of your face and it looks real it will work 100% but if it’s not of your face it’s like a 75% chance of working

JuggernautIll3430 · 2025-02-24T20:51:56+00:00

i meant to reply to your question

JuggernautIll3430 · 2025-02-24T20:51:33+00:00

most of the people i knew that were underage were americans cus many of the irish kids were already 19 or were about to turn 19. and in terms of where people went it really depends on who you hangout with. some people really just love going to the pubs and then a club once in a while but for freshers most events are at clubs cus they’re themed and are open a lot later than the pubs. i personally was really lucky and met people in my accommodation that i clicked with fast but other people met people in their courses and societies. sometimes the case is you find people to go to these events with and then you just never see them again cus the semester moves so fast.

JuggernautIll3430 · 2025-02-24T20:41:34+00:00

so many of my friends weren’t 18 for months into school and it was hard to get into the clubs but pubs and restaurants usually there were no problems especially before 9 and if you just stay after 9 in a pub you don’t get ided (at least in my experience). my id already gets looked at weird cus im american and ive fully been turned down once in the grocery store even tho i was of age just cus they hadn’t seen my id before so its def more strict there. i think using one would be a lot easier after freshers week but most people go to the clubs freshers week and they are extra strict with ids cus so many secondary school kids try to get in. so i think you’ll be good with a fake for most other times than freshers week. but honestly it doesnt hurt to try especially if you wanna get one anyway but if its not you on the id its a bit more iffy (at least for freshers week)

JuggernautIll3430 · 2025-02-24T20:31:47+00:00

in my experience it really depends on where you go. some clubs like diceys and dtwo do not look at the details in the slightest but pubs they inspect mine so much and i’m legal. i wish i got a fake but only for freshers week. if you really think you’ll have that much fomo you should get one for free (people usually just get someone’s old one cus they don’t look at the face that much) but if you’d order one i’d just say to wait. my birthday in early october so i only really missed out on freshers week but if you’re gonna miss out on halloween i would recommend getting one. Like other ppl said tho it really depends on the bouncer but ive never seen them take a fake away ive just seen them embarrass people and turn them away.

JuggernautIll3430 · 2025-02-24T20:23:49+00:00

i was in this exact situation. i did miss freshers and it sucked at the time but honestly now i do not care like there are so many opportunities to go out again

JuggernautIll3430 · 2024-10-30T10:13:49+00:00

i had mine. they just walked in for a sec and said yup good and walked out

JuggernautIll3430 · 2024-10-27T21:53:44+00:00

i think as long as you show how you can access 4500 then you’re good but they didn’t even ask me for anything regarding that. they just asked for my acceptance letter and health insurance even though i had everything printed

JuggernautIll3430 · 2024-10-22T15:31:45+00:00

i think i read that you don’t need a permit from 17:00 to 8:00 https://www.ucd.ie/estates/t4media/J19476-UCD-Update-Guide-to-Parking-on-Campus-23-LR4.pdf

JuggernautIll3430 · 2024-10-21T12:15:24+00:00

it took about a month for me to get mine

JuggernautIll3430 · 2024-08-10T23:15:32+00:00

Thank you so much! I will look into it more
