HOUSING
Personal assessment
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? Accomodation was pretty good, but very annoying housemates!
Personal comments:
Irish students are really messy and loud. Would be better of with ERASMUS-Students only! This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
