ACADEMIC    
by Julia, University of Southern Denmark - Sønderborg, Sønderborg, Denmark
European Studies, Erasmus
My academic experiences
Quality of courses
KEY:
Fantastic.
Pretty good.
Could've been a bit better.
Disappointing.
Variety of courses
Availability/access to resources
Interaction with teachers
Interaction with other international students
Interaction with local students
Course recommendations:
As an Erasmus student you can pick single courses from every field of interest, and you don't have to decide until a few weeks after start of studies. Use those weeks, visit as many classes as possible, talk to the lectures, before you decide which courses you really want to take. But timetables change a lot in the first two months, so your carefully selected personal timetable might just collaps like a house of cards and you'll suddenly have overlapping courses or long breaks between classes.

Language difficulties
Social
KEY:
No problems.
I coped pretty well.
Sometimes it was difficult.
It was a constant struggle.
Educational
Administrative / Institutional
Overall
Language of instruction: English
Was learning English a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my English
How much did you improve your English?
My level before: At ease in most situations
My level after: No problems in any areas (including slang)
Personal comments:
The local language is the Irish, but when I chose to study in Ireland I was not aiming to learn from the Irish language, rather to learn from the English language. I am pretty happy from by feedback under a social, academic and under an overall point of view.

College accomodation has to be paid for 6 months in advance - my parents had to help me out there. There is a monthly bus ticket for all Waterford, and student discount on maný other services - just ask. For plane tickets - check out usit.ie, a student travel provider

We travelled from Austria to Ireland by car, which didn't cause any problems. Finding proper accomodation and courses at the college was a bit difficult at the start, but after a few weeks everything worked out fine and we had a GREAT time in Ireland!!!!
