Welcome to Ireland's Most International University
Hi, my name is Mary and I am a final year Commerce student. I have a passion for experiencing different cultures and meeting new people. My time in UCD so far has been incredibly fun and rewarding, from being part of the Africa Society Committee to winning cultural events held by the School of Business. In UCD, I love the multitude of events, societies and clubs to engage in!
