Dublin City University (DCU)

DCU, 9 Dublin, Ireland
3.87 / 5 based on 282 reviews.
Description:
The University is located on a fifty acre campus in the northern suburbs of Dublin. Most of the University's programmes are provided in new, purpose-built buildings designed specifically for their needs, while the University's engineering programmes are currently housed largely in the older buildings on campus, some of which date back to the establishment of the Albert Agricultural College in the last century. The latter have been extensively refurbished and modernised. The campus with its adjoining parks constitutes a pleasant and productive environment for study and research.

Personal comments:
As I lived in Dublin for one year I will say that it depends on what you are looking for. But there three main events that you should not miss if you live in Dublin; they are: Halloween, it is really good as everyone dress up, 2. The six nation, it is the most important Rugby tournament in Europe and finally, St Patricks day... it is the national party and everyone is Irish for that day, no matter where you come from, the Irish spirit will get inside you.

Dublin has got plenty of nice places to go and visit, although thery are mainly concentrated in one area, temple bar and city centre. I cannot complain about it, I enjoyed a lot. I also enjoyed the country, I visited north, south, and west (unbelievable west).

I really liked the "Gravedigger" which is a very old pub just at the Glasnevin Cementery. This is a REAL cult place! But you will have to travel there. Otherwise "The Globe" is a nice cafe/bare that turns into a club late in the night.
