Does a video show the last white student at a college in Ireland? No, that's not true: This video shows a ticketed games night event hosted by the Africa Society at the Technological University Dublin in Ireland. The student body of more than 29,000 includes almost 3,000 people from 105 countries.

The video appeared in a post on X (archived here) by @RadioGenoa on March 11, 2026. It opened:

The last surviving white student at a college in Ireland.

This Society is not only for Africans but for everyone who is interested in the Cultures, Music, Food & People.

The Central Applications Office (CAO) page (archived here) of the Technological University Dublin website has some fast facts about the school and the student body. One graphic shows more than 29,000 students. Another graphic, labeled "Diversity" says that there are 2,854 international students across 105 countries.
