Personal comments
The student union of the university (KY) was very welcoming. It organised many things for exchange students: a cottage week-end, trips and, of course, many parties at CONTROL (on thursday nights). But we also went to night clubs by ourselves: Tiger, Kerma, Teatri were nice places. There was an Irish pub I liked as well: Molly Malone.
