Personal comments
As I lived in Dublin for one year I will say that it depends on what you are looking for. But there three main events that you should not miss if you live in Dublin; they are: Halloween, it is really good as everyone dress up, 2. The six nation, it is the most important Rugby tournament in Europe and finally, St Patricks day... it is the national party and everyone is Irish for that day, no matter where you come from, the Irish spirit will get inside you.

Final comments
As a person who had study abroad for one year now, I can say that studying away from my home and away from my family is the best thing that have ever happened to me. Not only in the academic perspective, but also personally. You learn how live is outside your parents protection, so I fully recommend every to study abroad at least one year.
