Chungs in Dublin

20/06/2025: Clean, safe and the staff and lovely

08/04/2025: I visited St. Patrick’s College in Drumcondra on a sunny Saturday and was genuinely impressed by how much character the campus has. The historic buildings like Belvedere House and the old Gothic-style chapel (which was closed during my visit) give the place real depth, while the open green spaces and modern sculptures add a fresh, thoughtful touch. I wandered past the well-kept sports pitches — they were lively and added to the vibrant feel of the campus. It’s clearly still a space where learning, movement, and reflection all coexist. Parking was straightforward thanks to a designated pay-for-parking area (CP6), and I noticed plenty of signage for permit zones too. It felt organised and easy to navigate. There happened to be an open day atmosphere, with a few student-led tours and a welcoming vibe overall. The campus balances its deep history with a very current, open energy — I’d definitely come back, even just for a walk.
