Dundalk Institute of Technology review by Romain

Review by Romain, Université du Havre, Le Havre, France

HOUSING    
Personal assessment
Cost
KEY:
Couldn't have asked for more.
Pretty good.
Could've been better, but didn't lessen the overall experience.
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.
