Housing
Type of housing: brookfield hall
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
on campus and off campus student accommodation are very expensive and we do not able to get the chance to interact with local people and with other international students.I think living in a apartment or house with some irish people is much better to learn new things and improve your english.

Personal comments
on campus accommodation is good in facility but very expensive.The university also deals in off campus accommodation like brookfield hall,groody student hall.I think they are as expensive as on campus and also not having good facilities and they also have hidden charges which they might not tell you in the starting.And be aware of the contracts,they will ask you to sign a contract and they you are not allowed to leave the accommodation for any reason,they will not listen to your problems,they are just hungry for the money.so beware..I think apartment or private houses are much better to live,they r cheaper(you can get a room with all facilities comparable to on campus accommodation in just euro 200 per month while in on campus it may be more than euro 400 per month)..after overall experience i can say its better to choose Canada or any Asian country but prefer not to come here..

Personal comments
All cafe and shops are good until you looks like irish,but if you are coming from Asian or African background than be aware,this country is not for you.I got abused many times and also met with racism almost all days.I have written my overall experience,if you don't believe than come and waste your money and dreams.

My overall experience was like a hell,I did the biggest mistake by choosing Ireland as my study abroad destination.This country is far lag behind technology,no jobs,and lots of discrimination on the basis of race and skin color.Its kinda village.You will not learn new things,as everything here looks like 1970's..

Personal comments
sometimes the prices of on campus and off campus student accommodation may surprise you,they have hidden charges.prefer to stay in private houses with local people which may cost you from 150-250 euro per month and make a budget of 100-150 euro per month for food.

Personal comments
As my past education was in English so there was no problems in understanding others,but it was a challenge to understand Irish English.I always get confused about the way of pronouncing the words and many times they use wrong spelling and vocabulary.
