Testimonials

Taylor Cunningham

Class of 2020 GEM student

"One of my favourite things so far, is the location of RCSI because you're right in the heart of Dublin city centre. I often find myself amazed when I'm walking to class and hear church bells ring, or see tourists snapping photos, and realise this is somewhere I get to live for the next few years; it's a place people dream about visiting. Even though I'm not even halfway through my time here, I already know that it's going to be too short!"

Candace Lessey

Undergraduate Medicine, Class of 2020

"To me, RCSI is a melting pot of many different cultures and backgrounds and it offers a multi-dimensional approach to the study of medicine. Events such as Cultural Diversity Month, have exposed me to the customs and traditions of various cultures and RCSI's many sports clubs and societies have also ensured that there is something for everyone regardless of their passion. This makes RCSI a really unique University. Life in Dublin over the past two and half years has been an unforgettable experience, I have found it to be a multicultural city with warm and welcoming people. I really enjoy the wide variety of cuisines offered in Dublin and relaxing on St Stephen’s Green on warmer days; these outlets make studying at RCSI more well-rounded, rather than solely based on academics."
