“Ireland is the perfect country if you like to travel. The island is small and there are lots of nice towns to visit. Also is near England, and no so expensive to go there. Maybe the only negative thing is that Dundalk is too small, but there are allways international students, and you will not be alone.” Read Review

Cost
KEY:
Couldn't have asked for more.
Pretty good.

Disappointing.
Facilities
Location
Cleanliness
Space
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? Would look for housing with no foreign students, to speak more the local language.
Personal comments:
Housing arranged by the university was for the sole benefit of the landlords whom had their plan well arranged with the university. The house had just been refurbished ans wasn't ready to live in for 6 students.

FINAL COMMENTS

Ireland is the perfect country if you like to travel. The island is small and there are lots of nice towns to visit. Also is near England, and no so expensive to go there. Maybe the only negative thing is that Dundalk is too small, but there are allways international students, and you will not be alone.
