There are many events going on every day to choose from - a match, a film, concert, play or a party. Joining clubs and societies is the best way to meet people in UCD - and most sports clubs cater for beginners. The approximate cost of a full main meal is 2.50 - 3.50. It is run by a committee of students and staff elected by the student body, and all profits go directly to providing student services. The prices are lower than in commercial bars.
Snacks are also available here throughout the day.
The Students' Union run events here on a weekly basis, many of them free, including gigs, discos, beer promotions and special events. The Freshers Ball, held at the end of the second week of the Autumn term is the biggest student event in Ireland. The Student Union provides a number of services to UCD students, from shops to free entertainments. They are there both to deal personally with the problems of students and to represent students on College committees. You should feel free to contact them about any problems you may have.
