Housing

Type of housing: Apartment/House

Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice

If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House

Why?

Because I like to have my own space when home from work or university. Also, being in a campus is part of the past as I am now a Bachelor Graduate in International Business and Management and ready to face the work-business life.

The housing was not well organiwsed by the host institution, as we were left to ourselves to find a suitable place to live for a few months. However, I do believe this method makes one more independent and responsible as one has to seek, negotiate and adapt, in a totally different and foreign country.

Since there is no on campus accommodation, students are forces to find something on their own. I consider this an advantage, because That's how life is, but at the beginning it was tough work - considering that one doesn't know about costs, location, facilities etc. as a foreigner.

Why?

Mostly no rooms on campus are offered in Dublin. As far as I know only UCD offers campus rooms. living in a family can be very expensive and restrictive. better get used to share a room with 1 or 2, bcause rents are extremly high and room sharing is very usual.
