Response from University College Dublin

Dear Whitney,
Thank you for your comments on your experience at UCD College of Business. We are sorry that the programme did not meet your level of expectation. As a highly ranked, triple accredited Business School this is not the feedback we normally receive from our international students. Our dedicated programme teams work hard to support our students during their stay with us. Our aim is always to ensure we deliver a vibrant learning experience. To offer our students the best chance of success we do encourage our full-time students to focus on their studies for the year they are with us and suggest they don’t engage in employment. Of course our students are adults and most visas allow paid work for up to 20 hours per week so there is nothing to prohibit any of our international students sourcing casual employment during the year. As a follow up to your comments we would be very pleased to schedule a call with our Director of Alumni Relations to discuss your experience in more detail if you would like to contact us at businessalumni@ucd.ie
Best wishes, the UCD Smurfit Team

UCD Smurfit - The BEST Decision

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
Walking from the dorms to a lecture one day it started to rain. After the rain it started to hail. After the hail, the sun came out, then it rained again. This all happened within 15/20 minutes. I was shocked and amused and it gave me a sense of appreciation for Irish weather.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
The most nerve-racking moment was going abroad for a full year not knowing anyone or knowing where I was going. However, both the Irish students and international students at UCD were some of the friendliest people I have ever met, and have become some of my lifelong best friends. The people at UCD, from the staff to the students, were incredibly supportive throughout the course, and the absolute best part of the program.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
Not knowing if I was headed for Lausanne, Switzerland in the EU or Dallas, Texas in the USA for my final placement with less than a month till my start date was slightly nerve-racking. However, I was able to hone my flexibility to adapt to new scenarios. A skill which as served me well as I feel open and eager to embrace new opportunities.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I would live closer to the college. Blackrock is a really nice area.
