Institute of Technology, Sligo review by Lars
HOUSING
Personal assessment
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? It's cheaper to rent a private house with other people. Student villages are expensive.
Personal comments:
The student villages are very nice but expensive. The advatange is that in a village live many students so you meet many people. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

STUDENT LIFE
Personal social experience
Describe host city: Student life dominates the city
Activities: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment Nightlife, Travel: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment Personal comments:
The only where you can go after 12 midnight is the T&C (Town and County). The best disco is the ENVY where most (irish) students goes to. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Go to the trips of the international society, it's very funny. Save your money for the Rag-week. The first two month are very expensive because you must buy many things. If you are a smoker, give it up!! It's too expensive. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
