Lost in the timeless dance of a farmer and his flock, with the Atlantic playing witness.

This could be your backyard view if you decide to study at University College Dublin. Ireland isn’t just a place; it’s an experience. 🍀🐑🌊

Capturing the essence of Dublin! 🍺 Here's a shot of "A pint of plain" or as we know it, a pint of Guinness, beautifully captured by our talented ex-UCD Summer team member, Tom Kelly 📸. His knack for immortalizing Dublin moments is unparalleled.

This image doesn't just show a pint, but the legacy of the Guinness Brewery, standing tall at St. James Gate since 1759. And guess what? The Guinness Storehouse, a favorite among our summer visitors, has just been crowned Europe's Leading Tourist Attraction for 2023 🏆✨. Cheers! DRINK AWARE

Welcome to Summer at UCD, the home of Ireland's premier Study Abroad summer housing based on the beautiful and secure campus of University College Dublin.

🎨✨ NEW ART by Ashleigh ALERT! ✨🎨

Delighted to share another masterpiece from our fabulous colleague, Ashleigh Smith. This stunning illustration captures the beauty of the Church of the Sacred Heart in Donnybrook, Dublin. A place familiar to many for the trio of life's most significant events: hatch, match, and dispatch!

For our summer visitors, you might recognize it from your daily commute to and from the UCD campus.

But, there's more! This isn’t just a standalone piece. It’s a hint of a much grander project Ashleigh has been passionately crafting. 🤫✨ So, gear up for some artistic wonders coming your way!

Fun Fact: Since opening its doors in 1866, the Church of the Sacred Heart has seen countless baptisms, marriages, and farewells, immortalizing its legacy in the community.

Delving into a tapestry of tales, the Cliffs of Moher stand as not merely sights, but sonnets of eras gone by. Ireland, you're the unfolding chapter of an odyssey I never knew was waiting for me.

A heartfelt thanks to our pals at Real Ireland for providing us with this photograph, which graced a past edition of the Summer at UCD desktop calendar. We are enamored with this capture.
