Personal comments
Even though I am half french and half dutch, I have lived in England in the past and have had an english education since the age of 8. My English is just as good, perhaps even better, than my French (mothertongue), so I did not have any problems during my exchange speaking with locals, teachers, foreign exchange students and local students.

Housing
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.

Personal comments
My time spent in Dublin was for sure the best part of my student life. The people were very friendly, the exchange students from many different cultures and speaking french, dutch and english I can say I had a great time. Dublin itself is also a beautiful city, buzzing with life.
