When I arrived, my I felt frustrated because of my English, but people learn to be patient with you and make you feeling confortable, and then you speak, even if you make mistakes because you want to communicate with the other ones. With time, you improve your English... Even if after few months, you have the feeling that your level is going down, but after a short while it comes back... I think it is just because the brain needs a break one time!!!

Go to teh castle pub, for me it was the bets place in town, especially at life-music nights. And, don't miss the cafe Java, it is the best place to chill out aftee the pubs close.

Housing
Type of housing: brookfield hall
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
on campus and off campus student accommodation are very expensive and we do not able to get the chance to interact with local people and with other international students.I think living in a apartment or house with some irish people is much better to learn new things and improve your english.

Personal comments
on campus accommodation is good in facility but very expensive.The university also deals in off campus accommodation like brookfield hall,groody student hall.I think they are as expensive as on campus and also not having good facilities and they also have hidden charges which they might not tell you in the starting.And be aware of the contracts,they will ask you to sign a contract and they you are not allowed to leave the accommodation for any reason,they will not listen to your problems,they are just hungry for the money.so beware..I think apartment or private houses are much better to live,they r cheaper(you can get a room with all facilities comparable to on campus accommodation in just euro 200 per month while in on campus it may be more than euro 400 per month)..after overall experience i can say its better to choose Canada or any Asian country but prefer not to come here..
