Full disclosure: I almost went to
@trinitycollegedublin but opted to study
@standrewsuniversity instead. I have often wondered about that Sliding Doors moment/decision which was, to be honest, based on growing up during The Troubles in Northern Ireland and just wanting to escape Ireland altogether and live in a pretty little village by the sea. (To this day, the East and West Sands beaches in St Andrews are some of the best I’ve ever been to).
Fortunately, I’ve been able to stay at TCD over many summers and get a feel for it - long before Normal People too! The student accommodation is available for stays from May to October and is something of a hidden gem. Yes, it may be no frills but what a location. Guests can opt for en suites and many rooms come with shared kitchens as well as breakfast served in The Buttery.
It’s been a privilege to see the updated rooms in the Rubrics building - built in 1690 and the oldest on campus. I stayed last night and definitely tried not to think about reported ghost stories!
I also took a Trinity Trail with one of the current third year students - so interesting - and got to see inside some of the iconic buildings. To take time out to investigate The Book of Kells Experience is something I recommend, if only to feel like a tourist and learn more about this important national and international institution and document.
Pic 1 is a view of “my digs” overlooking the quad - not too shabby!! And possibly the best value in Dublin this summer!
Thank you
