    Hi guys. There's a good chance I'll end up here as the course I've chosen seems perfect.... but I'm not sure about the college campus and the area around it. I wasn't blown away by the campus to be honest but what do current students think of college life at DCU?

    Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

    I wasn't there long enough to form a good impression but when I was there there wasn't too many students around so it seemed kind of deserted to me... so maybe that's tainting my view. I've heard it's amazing and I don't doubt that it is.

    It is a few years since i experienced DCU campus life, there is positives and negatives as with everywhere, and the more you put in the more you get out. One thing which i hope has changed but was rife when i was there, was that people stick together depending on what subject/course you do, but in many other institutions this is also the case
    The Campus is nice, and albert college park beside it is a wonderful resource
    I found if you commute a long way often you are left out of the loop a bit, but get involved in things, in sports, in clubs, in activities.
    If you are moving to dublin stay close by in Drumcondra, Santry, Whitehall, Phibsboro, Glasnevin walk or cycle able - I had a friend who stayed in Rathmines and kinda felt left out of things as a result
