Athlone Institute of Technology (AIT)

At the Athlone AT in Ireland the students can live in rented houses, flats, or there are student villages with independent houses. In the student village where I lived, in each house there are four appartment, for 3 or 4 person. Everyone has own bedroom, bathroom for 2,and a livingroom. Other appartments have double rooms as well. There lived/live a lot of international and Irish student as well, so it was a great place to get to know new people, nationalities, cultures, languages, and of course to practise the English.

It was interesting experience, different kulture and habits. Irish speak a little difficult english couse its a mix of dilects. Univirsity offers a lot of facilities like: socer, rugby, gym, volleyball, basketball etc. Possibility to choose a language course like: german, spanish, french, english. Lots of laboratories: Plastic lab, chemistry, robotic, computer labs. Lots of parties orgenized in University Bar.

I lived with international students in the same residential area. It allowed to myself to be in contect with a multicultural environment.

I have positive opinion, the only negative thing is the electricity cost.

the system for searching accomodation is really well organised by the Students Union

It was a great experience for me as I knew other wasys of learning in a different culture
