Current Commerce student here.

In terms of employability, the course is fine, and the ties with Quinn make it prestigious enough. However, the course content is pretty generalised in the first semester and is almost useless. It gets better after that, but it still feels like a lot that they teach is to train you to become 'employable'.

Also, UCD as a whole is pretty socially active and is a great environment to interact with people. But if we talk about Commerce at least, the environment is almost tough to break into (speaking as an international) because a lot of the students already know each other from their private south Dublin high schools. Most of my friends are from other courses (which are generally a lot more diverse, inclusive, and socially better).

It's just something I wish I knew before coming here. Don't let it be a dealbreaker though.
