Episode 8 - The UCD college experience.
b"
In this episode I sit down with some mates of mine all from different courses in UCD. We chat about what UCD is properly like going there as a student. We all chatted about why we chose UCD and the particular course that we ended up doing. We went into what we thought expected it to be like versus what it actually ended up looking like.
\\nThe chat ended up veering towards the socialising part of going to college. From UCD Christmas Day to various events organised by the different courses some of the stories that happened on those nights were shared here. For me at least, it became clear throughout the podcast that the experiences that had the greatest impact on each of us came about as a result of the variety of mates you make in college. We talk about the organic nature of making new circles as you move into college and how that can affect your academic side positively too.
\\nOverall, this was a very enjoyable podcast to be a part of as it was great to chat about being back in UCD in normal times. It really reminded me what normality used to look like and how similar all the things people miss are. Once again thanks to Gary, Ellen, \\xc9ile and Matin for joining me here and I'm sure the rest of you will enjoy it too.
