So I got accepted to UCD's four year GEP program. ABP is giving me until March 31st to get all of the paper work in, so i will probably be compelled to go to UCD. I interviewed for RCSI in Chicago last month and received no word from them yet.
My situation:
I am from California. I will be getting married in the summer prior to school commencing, and will be bringing my wife to Ireland for the entire duration of my education there. I will be financing my education entirely through loans, which is adding a level of anxiety to the upcoming decisions I need to make.
Questions:
Is UCD an engaging, and stimulating place to attend medical school? Does the school's location on the outskirts at all take away from the excitement of going to medical school in Ireland, i.e, does it elicit a sense of place, not just space as many locations in the U.S. bring to mind?
I won't be living on campus. I will be living in a rental somewhere. Based on your knowledge of the area, where is an interesting place to live outside of Dublin 4, that is somewhat between the city centre and UCD, with easily accessible transportation?
I'll probably have a lot more questions later. Thanks for any information you can provide.
