Trinity College

The University of Dublin, founded in 1592, is the oldest university in Ireland. Trinity College is the sole constituent college of the University. At present there are over 15,000 students and 1,200 staff members working on the College campus. Standing on a self-contained site in the heart of Dublin, the College covers some 40 acres of cobbled squares and green spaces, around buildings which represent the accumulated architectural riches of nearly three centuries. Its sixteen thousand staff and students form a compact academic community and are at the same time an intimate part of the city's life. Dublin offers a particularly congenial atmosphere for students and while small by international standards, it has in all respects the resources of a capital city with a full and varied cultural and intellectual life. The campus is wonderful, with lovely square and amazing buildings. The students are more then happy to stop and take a picture for you to! A must see is the Book of Kells and the Long Library.
