I was surprised to find that Dublin and UCD are very, very diverse. I really like the system of tutorials - reviewing our lecture and having an open discussion.

This course made me consider issues such as the elimination of waste, the pursuit of zero hunger – it is quite practical because you can actually make some difference to the world.

I wanted to study overseas to get exposure: interacting with people from different backgrounds and experiences. I found that UCD was the most diverse university in Ireland.
