Hey y'all, I'm an incoming first year and I wanted to ask, where does one buy school supplies like notebooks, binders, highlighters, pens/pencils/erasers? I'm from America so normally I would just buy my stuff at Office Depot but I'm assuming that doesn't exist in Ireland so I'm a little lost as of right now. I would think there would be stuff like that for sale at the university bookstore or something like that, is there somewhere else y'all generally buy stuff like that? Literally any advice would be appreciated here as I don't want to have to buy it all over here and then bring it in my suitcase, thanks so much in advance!!

Hey all, I’m incoming freshman from sunny California and I wanted to ask, what do you guys usually wear? Is it jeans and sneakers, or some other kind of pants and rain boot? what kind of rain jackets do y'all have, and do you have any brand recommendations? do y'all typically use umbrellas or no? Also, do people use backpacks or some other type of bag, and if you use a backpack how do you keep your stuff inside dry? Is it a waterproof backpack or something else? I haven't lived in a wet climate since I was 7, any and all information is helpful!!

edit: thank you all so much for the advice and notes about the climate! I fear I’ll still stick out like a sore thumb with my California accent and fjällräven backpack, but yalls advice has been so helpful in planning!! thank you all again 😊😊

Hi I am moving to Dublin for college, does anyone know if there is a gym/rec center that has a room with high ceilings/padded floors? I do colorguard and I am looking for a practice space of sorts since I can't practice in the rain, does anyone know of a space like this that I could rent out/use? literally anything like this would be useful thank you!
