Personal comments
Level of education is too low. By now the students should've been able to draw everything they wanted to by hand or by computer but they couldn't. One of many examples where the students haven't reached a good level yet.

Everything's more expensive in ireland. I tried the best i could to make it as cheap as possible but even then, i could not cope with my life at home. And at home, i'm quite a big spender.
