UCC is the main university in Cork. It was also rated best university in Ireland several years in a row. The campus itself is beautiful with an old courtyard located right next to the river. There's a lovely river walk which passes by the art museum The Glucksman Gallery which always has some very interesting exhibitions on. There are some lovely coffee shops dotted around campus and there's always a really great atmosphere wherever you go.
