Personal assessment
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why? Even though the house was old and dirty and was nice to be together with the whole Erasmus group all the time. So you never felt alone and had the opportunity to meet lots of people.
Personal comments:
It's good that the accomodation is so nearby to the University and that you stay together with so many people, but the warden is always grumpy and doesn't do her work as well as she should. And it's the same with the cleaning staff - it never really works. The House needs some new showers, too ( cause there are none at all by now and people have to go over to University for taking a shower). But all in all I would say that we had a great time in this accomodation. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Yes, I wanted to improve my English How much did you improve your English?

If you are not a student of Engelsh at your home university, you might find the Irish accent quite difficult, but you'll be ok after a short while. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
