HOUSING
by Bach_Intl_Business, Hogeschool Limburg Maastrict, Maastricht, Netherlands
Business Studies, Erasmus
Personal assessment
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? Because I like to have my own space when home from work or university. Also, being in a campus is part of the past as I am now a Bachelor Graduate in International Business and Management and ready to face the work-business life.
Personal comments:
The housing was not well organiwsed by the host institution, as we were left to ourselves to find a suitable place to live for a few months. However, I do believe this method makes one more independent and responsible as one has to seek, negotiate and adapt, in a totally different and foreign country.

STUDENT LIFE
by Janine, Fachhochschule für Wirtschaft Berlin, Berlin, Germany
Business Studies, Erasmus
Personal social experience
Describe host city: Students equally interact with the local and student community
Activities: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment Travel: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment Nightlife: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment Personal comments:
a lot of typical irish pubs, can become a little bit boring after 2 weeks; recently some more international style bars have opened, watch out for Zansibar, Pravda, SpiBar, QBar,... not too much venues playing alternative kind of music, mostly techno or traditional irish, try out Whelans or Shelter if you prefer a good cafe and a really good piece of apple pie go to the Winding Stair Cafe, next to the Half Penny bridge or the Cafe Mocca, near to St.Green Shopping Centre This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
take the inconvenience to choose courses by yourself out of various years and timetables; can be very nerved because support by the person who is responsible for you is not always granted, all in all it isn't too difficult to take place in the courses and exams

Language difficulties
Language of instruction: English
Was learning English a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my English How much did you improve your English?
My level before: Everyday knowledge (shopping, directions, etc.) My level after: At ease in most situations Personal comments:
Just arriving Dublin we had some problems with the language since english language spoken by irish people is sometimes hard to understand,but day by day you get used to it and then you take their way of speaking as well.Complementing the International Business and Languages Course we had "English for academic purposes" at different level and that´s was really helpful for us.Interacting with with foreigner students and irish people when that was possible was a very important to improve our english.

EXPENSES
by PaulinaP, Uniwersytet Gdanski, Gdansk, Poland
Marketing and Sales Management, Erasmus
The accessibility of student needs
Main source of funding:
Personal savings Other sources of funding:
Family An ERASMUS grant wage at the place I worked Work opportunities:
I worked during my study abroad experience Personal spending habits:
There is discrapancy between polish standard of living and irish. Polish residents don't earn so much as irish.Poland hasn't accesed EU that's why there is such a big difference in earning and spending. Food, Travel, Nightlife, Overall, Telephone, Housing: was more expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
Living in Ireland I would try to do grocery shopping in big shop-chains like Tesco. It will allow to save some money. I would also suggest to buy fruits and vegetables on the local grocery markets. There are possibilities to buy cheaper clothes as well. Myself and many of my friends were doing shopping in Dunnes Store and Penneys Stores, which slogan"always better value" incourage to do so.

Personal recommendation:
I just can speak about my faulty,i mean Aungieer Street,is an amazing new faculty and all that you can do there is learn and enjoy. FINAL COMMENTS
-Travelling around Ireland is recommended. -Take care with your money or it´ll be run out really soon. -Take a house near to the city center,if possible or you´ll spend a lot of money and time travelling. -The food is not really good,but there is not solution for that.
