City Description - Dublin, Ireland There can be few better cities than Dublin, the capital of Ireland, in which to enjoy your time as a student. Dublin began life as a Viking settlement founded more than 1,000 years ago on the banks of the river Liffey. It became an administrative capital after the Norman conquest of Ireland in the 12th Century. Dublin today has a population of 1.5 million, with all the amenities of a big city, yet still retains a small town atmosphere. It is friendly and safe and is a city of culture with a wide variety of art galleries, museums, theatres, cinemas, shops, restaurants and cafes, nightclubs, zoological gardens and much more. Most of these amenities are within easy walking distance of the college and visitors are never at a loss for entertainment. Dublin is also a university town with a proud tradition of learning and scholarship. Student life adds to the city’s legendary ambience and the city attracts young people from all over the world who come to sample its unique atmosphere. As a student at Griffith College Dublin all this excitement is literally on your doorstep. Griffith College Dublin Griffith College Dublin was established in 1974 and currently has 5,000 students studying on a full or part-time basis. Located one mile from the shopping of Grafton Street and the heart of Dublin, Griffith College offers a truly international study experience that you will never forget. With small class sizes, lecturers known for their approachability, and classmates from Ireland and 56 other countries, you will quickly feel part of campus life. Recognized as one of the top private universities in Dublin, Griffith offers everything students expect in a quality university, including various sports teams, a gym, radio station, Internet and computer access throughout the campus, and much more. The campus itself is steeped in history, having had uses as varied as a prison and army barracks, straight through to the renowned center for educational excellence it is today. During World War I, one of the college’s buildings was used as a recruiting and training centre for many of the Irish soldiers who fought in the war. The change from the Wellington Barracks to Griffith Barracks occurred on April 15th, 1922, when it became one of the first to be handed over to the Irish Free site. It was renamed by the Army Council after Arthur Griffith, (the first President of Dail Eireann) following his death. The Griffith Halls of Residence back to top ASA Dublin students live in the newly constructed Griffith Halls of Residence that contain 183 shared apartments with unlimited free Internet access, dedicated study areas and 24-hour security.

Each apartment has a floor area of about 60 square meters, is tastefully decorated, and has controllable heating.
