Course recommendations
Don't register immediately for definite courses. Check out the first lectures of each of them during the first week, and don't hesitate to ask the teachers about your interests so that they can orientate you.

Some pubs in the city, as Nancy Blake, The Old Quarter, and the pubs in and around the campus. To dance, the Kilmurry Lodge, good music and not expensive. Apart from some old and small pubs in the tiny villages of the area.

Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
I enjoyed it very much, cos all the students from different nationalities lived very close to each other, next to the campus, in a very nice area, not in the city, but not so far.

Personal comments
Althoug there are things I didn't like, as cleanliness or the old and sometimes broken furniture, it was the better choice I made there. I lived with 6 nice Irish people and my English improved a lot. It was a student village, so you could meet and mix with people from any place in the world.
