My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
There was a wide range of courses to choose. I was studying European Business Management inculding subjects like: Finance, Business Management, International Marketing, Irish culture, German, Business English, and so on. I personally really liked that the teachers were approachable any time. They also implemented different team works which in my oppinion definetely encouraged the students to not to be afraid of sharing their own ideas and oppinions any time.

The accessibility of student needs
Main source of funding:
An ERASMUS grant Other sources of funding:
Family Work opportunities:
I didn't explore any work options Personal spending habits:
Prices in Ireland are higher than in my country, and accomodation cost is high. I spent more money for nightlife because to meet new people you have to party more. Overall: was more expensive than at home. Travel, Telephone: was the same price as at home. Food, Nightlife, Housing: was less expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
Big difference in prices, Ireland is more expensive tham Poland. Supermakets are not so cheap. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

During my experience abroad, I ...
Personal recommendation:
Good choice of faculties. A good social life. FINAL COMMENTS
You should go to visit: Galway, Dublin Cork, Coth, ZOO Float, Klifs of Moher, Belfast - this way u will see all the best in Ireland. Go surfing if u can do it. Always take umbrela with u and good waterproof shoes. Rent a car for traveling, Ireland has a bad comunication to travel and from midnight till six in the morning there are no busses and trains.
