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.

Nothing, this year was the best time in my life because I did not know anything in advance, I had to explore everything myself and I really enjoyed this situation.

I personally think that this university offers perfect circumstances for international students who wish to step forward in their life. For me it was definetely amazing experience. My recommendation would be to continue the same work in the future as well.



FINAL COMMENTS

Ireland is beautiful, the green fields, the huge rocks, the cows and lambs everywhere, the rainbow on the sky. You need to see as much as possible beacuse time goes fast. Galway is a relly nice university city on the west coast, so go and explore it. My favourite place is the Cliffs of Moher, my best view ever in my life, amazing experience, huge rocks right beside the ocean, this is something what everybody needs to see. I was doing rowing on the river of Athlone, the sport facilities always bring together new people, so do not be afraid of joining any of them. Enjoy your time because this is really an adventure you will never forget.

It was very good to be an international student in Athlone, in Ireland. I met a lot of people from other countries, cultures, I have a lot of new friend. I could improve my English, my Business and Management skills (in an international environment). It was an advantage for my future carrier. I got to know a new country, and travelled all around Ireland. It is a beautiful country.

The roads in ireland, and the public transport are caotic. It's better to rent a car if you want to travel. You can find a lot of beautiful places, with castles, nice pubs, and all the things that characterize ireland
