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.

I had a good knowledge of English before I went to Ireland, but having being around Irish people I learned some typical Irish expressions, but it was a shame that we did not get to mix a bit more with them.
