Are the instruments inside the school of music in the Newman building open to anyone/free to play? I keep listening to them when I'm near my locker and would love to get back into music little by little.

Anyone know when can we check our exam schedule on SISweb? Really need it because flights are getting more and more expensive.

I'm thinking of doing pure maths in either UCD or TCD next year, and I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice on which college would be better for maths.

I am looking to apply for masters programme and in the entry requirement section it is saying - 'You may be eligible for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL), as UCD recognises formal, informal, and/or experiential learning. RPL may be awarded to gain Admission and/or credit exemptions on a programme.' What is RPL?

Hi. Does anyone know about a room to rent by UCD? Thank you

Weird question but what bin bags are people buying to fit around the bins in campus accommodation? 😭 they’re so oddly shaped my bin bags can never fit around the rim of them it’s so annoying

Hello,

I am looking to have someone take over my student accommodation lease starting January 1st (Can be negotiated) and ending mid June.

I am starting an internship in January that requires me to move, so I need to give the lease away. It is at LIV student accommodation beside the Four Courts. It is only a 15 minute walk to Temple Bar and Bachelor’s Walk.

Bedroom and en-suite bathroom in a shared apartment with lovely roommates.

Please comment any questions below or feel free to PM me.

Anyone know of people hosting election watch alongs at there gaffs or just around UCD in general? So ready for this all nighter!!

has anyone here taken FR10060? I know it’s just my anxiety talking but I am starting to feel a ton of anxiety about the final exam for this class.

it’s stressing me out that even if I know all the grammar we’ve been taught, if I don’t recognize a word I could miss that whole question just because of vocabulary. the professors also haven’t given much info about what will actually be on the exam so I’m not sure what the best way to study is….

anyways, I’d just appreciate hearing anyone’s insights who may have taken the class and done alright (my goal is just to get a C or higher) — thanks in advance!

Hello, so I applied a week ago to two master programs at the same time. However, I got an immediate offer from one of them but the second one I’m still waiting. I’m more interested in the one I still haven’t received a response for. The deadline of the acceptance for the one that was successful is running out and I’m intentionally delaying it. What should I do? Should I ask for an extension on the acceptance period or I should accept the offer? If I do so would I still be considered for the other one? Can I refuse the offer if I get accepted to the other course?

I'm and Indian and I'm considering to pursue M.Sc in either IS or BA in Ireland (UCD, Trinity, UCC etc.), and I was hoping to get your NO BULLSHIT opinion on the same. What are the job prospects there like at the moment? Is the curriculum upto industry standards?
I have also received an admit from a couple universities in the US like Santa Clara University and Northeastern University for the upcoming spring semester but I'm also having second thoughts considering the tuition fee and the living expenses in the US (I come from a well earning family but the guilt won't stop).

Hello,

Assignments really caught up to me this semester, I got an extension for one of them, but I know even with it I won't be able to complete it in time. Say if I submit it a day or two late from the end of the extension, is that minus one grade point per day or what? I checked the profs notes on assessment but they don't say anything about submitting late. I would really appreciate some answers because this has been a crazy week and I just wanna feel like I'm not going to receive an instant fail for submitting late. Thanks.

I am looking to buy a ps4/5 controller. Does anyone has any idea where can i get good deals on the same ?

Hey all
Does anyone know where can I get an ID photo at UCD? Some mentioned the pharmacy having such service, do they ?

Thanks

I’ve read previous threads about how to get around the campus wifi restrictions around gaming, but I’m not the most tech savvy person, so was wondering if anyone has any additional guidance!

I’m an international student living on campus and brought my Xbox one with me so I could keep playing online with friends from home and stay connected with them. I was pretty upset when I found out that the campus wifi prevents gaming. However, I’ve heard that some people have been able to get around the wifi restrictions, connecting VPNs to routers, or something? To be honest, I really don’t understand.

So basically, I want to game online with friends on my Xbox one, and need to get around the UCD Wireless wifi restrictions. I already have a NordVPN subscription (which I have been able to use on my computer using the obfuscate methods). I’d be willing to pay up to €50 for any equipment I might need, like a router or something. Can anyone help me? Also potentially willing to meet up in person for help setting up, I could pay you for your help lol, just DM me.

Anyway, the campus wifi restrictions are so incredibly stupid and ridiculous and make me so mad. Wish I had known about this beforehand.

I feel like UCD are trying to scam me, they arbitrary decided to charge me the Village 1 rate even though I am staying at Village halls. I have an email thread open with them, they're trying to say that this is due to the price increase which I was notified of, while it is just the wrong rate applied for the month of Nov. Make sure that what you're paying matches this doc, it is the latest (this updated version has slightly lower fees then the previous, so you probably overpaid in Sep & Oct)

Hi, I am looking to carpool to UCD from Clondalkin Village area. I would be happy to split the costs, as it would save me a lot of time.

If anybody has a car or knows someone with a car travelling from Clondalkin, I would really appreciate it if you messaged me. Thanks

Hi all!

I applied on 1st October for two of the Smurfit programs and I haven't heard back from either and I called last week and they said that my application wasn't missing anything they just hadn't gotten to it yet.

I didn't expect for it to take this long and I have a couple other deadlines next week for other grad programs, what should I do? Has anyone talked with admissions about how long it will take to hear back?

Yesterday I received a conditional offer for entry. My mom doesn’t know English so she suggested finding a Bulgarian friend in UCD, so here we are.

I'm stuck between these 3 options to study economics and can't decide which one is the best.

First is Bsc in economics (Dn710).

My second option is Bsc in economics, mathematics and statistics.

The third option is a joint major with economics and maths.

Which one here is the best in terms of job opportunities, internship, networking etc .. Dn710 requires the most points but surely a math component with economics would make it a better degree to pursue?

Hello, I am a trained tantric masseur living in dublin. I want to practice my skills with tantric massage. I am looking for a female volunteer who is interested to get a free tantric massage.

In terms of maximising earning potential after uni, which course is the superior one in terms of connections, opportunities, internships etc . I can't decide between these both

This is driving me insane and I’m losing sleep. At least twice a week my roommate will randomly sit up at like 3 am in his sleep and scream his lungs out. I mean full on screaming as if his life is in danger. It lasts like 12 seconds and then he’s right back to sleeping. It wakes me up every single time, because we share the room in village studios. I asked him this morning if he has night terrors and he acts like he has no idea what I’m talking about. This has been going on for nearly 2 months and if it goes on any longer I’m going to lose my mind. I can’t transfer rooms either because there are none available.
