Personal comments
Since there is no on campus accommodation, students are forces to find something on their own. I consider this an advantage, because That's how life is, but at the beginning it was tough work - considering that one doesn't know about costs, location, facilities etc. as a foreigner.

Overall
I wish I had known...
No - I think it's a good opportunity to become more independent and self-confident, if one has to find out everything on his own.

Personal recommendation
Don't get frustrated if you face some problems at the beginning (you will for sure!). Everything will work out in the end and there's always someone, who will help you and give advice.

Final comments
International students, who come to Ireland, should take the opportunity to travel as much as possible. One shouldn't leave the country without having seen Galway, Belfast, the Cliffs of Mohair, the Burren, the Ring of Kerry, Connemara - and of course every corner of Dublin.

I would have liked more avice in what courses one is allowed to choose and which are recommended. It was hard to find out, which courses one can take and which not.

Since I learned English in school and in university, it was no problem to cope with it. I just needed some time to get used to the Irish accent.
