Personal comments
Dublin has got plenty of nice places to go and visit, although thery are mainly concentrated in one area, temple bar and city centre. I cannot complain about it, I enjoyed a lot.
I also enjoyed the country, I visited north, south, and west (unbelievable west).

As the on campus accomodation is quicly filled up, the rest of the people have to look for a place on their own, the university only provides them with some adresses to which apply for, but those adresses are obviously not enough .

Final comments
There is nothing really important to tell about. I didn´t have any problems or surprises, the biggest advice is to warn people that Ireland is not the poor country many people think, but it´s a wealthy country where most of the things are really expensive.
I have to say, however, that roads, public transport and other facilities must be improved).
