12Living in Dublin
Dublin is a thriving capital city and one of
the most dynamic technology and business
hubs in Europe. Global finance, tech,
pharmaceutical multinationals and the
energetic start-ups of Silicon Docks are
only minutes away from Trinity College.
Location
Dublin is situated in east-central Ireland,
with wonderful mountains to the south
and a stunning coastline to explore.
Many low cost airlines connect Dublin to
hundreds of European destinations, all on
a student budget. Jet to Paris or London in
under an hour.
Dublin is relatively small in size and a
great walking city. You can stroll from
Trinity College to the famous St. Stephen’s
Green in less than 15 minutes.
Dublin has a great literary legacy with many
www.visitdublin.com/
luminaries of Irish literature such as Joyce,
www.discoverireland.ie/visit-dublin
Shaw, Yeats, Wilde, Kavanagh and Beckett, being
associated with the city. Dublin’s entertainments
are legendary, from the delights of the Guinness
Storehouse and Temple Bar to more cultured
nights at the theatre or dining in one of the city’s
fine eateries. Known for its welcoming and friendly
culture, it’s no surprise that people from all over
the world come to enjoy the “craic” in Dublin.
13Getting Around Dublin
A handy hint if you are trying to locate
an address, postal codes are always odd
numbers on the northside and even
numbers on the Southside. As a rule
of thumb, the higher the number, the
further away the location will be from
the city centre.
The most common transport links for
students are the bus, train and tram. All
main transport links navigating to the city
centre will bring you to Trinity college or
within a short walking distance with the
Luas (tram network), opening a Trinity
stop from December 2017.
Travel Discounts
www.studenttravelcard.ie
Students are entitled to reduced fares on buses, trams
and trains under certain circumstances. The student
travel card costs €12 and can be obtained from the
Student Travel Service office in House 6, Front Square.
The Irish Student Travelcard and its Northern Ireland
equivalent the Translink student discount card are
accepted on both sides of the border for discounted
student travel.
Leap Card
www.studentleapcard.ie
The Leap Student Travel Card can be used by students
as an ID to buy special student travel tickets as well
as to pay-as-you-go for travel in the Dublin area by
topping up with travel credit and using it like a Leap
Card. Student Leap Card holders are entitled to some
retail and entertainment discounts around Ireland.

registration
You will receive an invitation to
register through your My TCD portal in
August and you will need to complete
the online registration process prior
to arrival. On completion of online
registration, your TCD email address,
computer ID (username), and password
will be provided via the Intray message
in the portal.
Your ID card will be issued to you during
Freshers’ Week as part of the Orientation
schedule. It is recommended that you
check your TCD email account regularly
for College official communications.
Lecture timetables will be available via
the student information portal near
term time.
Fees and Payment
www.tcd.ie/academicregistry/fees-payments/how-to-pay
Log-in to MyTCD portal to view the balance of
your fees. The Academic Registry is responsible
for the invoicing and collection of course fees
and other charges. They will also issue several
of the documents you will need to register
with the immigration bureau and open a bank
account (if required). The best way to request
documents is to call into the Service Desk
during office hours. Documents take 48 hours to
generate after making a request.
18Setting up an Irish Bank Account
There are several national banks in Ireland.
One of them, Bank of Ireland, has facilities on
campus. It is located adjacent to the Atrium
under the Dining Hall. Bank of Ireland has
dedicated student officers who deal with
general financial issues. (This is now in the
Hamilton Building).
To open any bank account, you will need to
show valid proof of identity, complete with a
photograph and proof of address. On request,
the college can provide a letter confirming
you are a Trinity student and listing your
home and Dublin addresses. Once you have
registered, this letter can be obtained from the
Academic Registry.
Alternatively, you can print your letter from the
portal (after registration) and then bring it to the
Academic Registry to get it stamped and signed
there and then. There are normally no fees
charged on student bank accounts. Please note
that you may have to wait for 2-3 days before
presenting your letter from them to the bank.
Pay to Study Payment Option
www.tcd.paytostudy.com
Trinity partners with ‘Pay to Study’ to allow
international students to pay from their home
country in their local currency. The service
also provides a detailed receipt and helps the
Student Finance team better track payments
to student numbers than using traditional wire
transfer payments. There is no international
transfer charge for using the service. This
is the recommended method of payment
for international students, with credit card
payments as a second preference.
19Accommodation
Student Accommodation
university accommodation is available on
and off campus. Once you have accepted
your unconditional offer, you may make your TCD
accommodation application online. If you would
like university accommodation, you are advised
to apply as early as possible at www.tcd.ie/
accommodation.
Privately Rented Accommodation
As Trinity College Dublin cannot support all requests for
accommodation, many students secure off-campus
accommodation. It’s best to consult www.daft.ie for
private housing opportunities. The Daft website is usually
the best option for finding good, affordable housing. It
allows you to search by area, price range and a host of
other categories.
