Personal comments
it was disapointing that the university didn´t offer guest students from abroad on campus accommodation or accomodation in a dormitory. My home university offers all guest students an acccommodation at least in a dormitory.

Personal comments
the people in ireland are pretty nice. if i had problems to understand - especially in the beginning- they have had been helpful always.
mentionable are the english courses are offered from the ucd for foreign
students. they were for free and pretty good.
A little bit difficult are the many different slangs in Ireland accrue form adopting the english language.
