The experience abroad is very good. GMIT is an institute of Technology NOT a University, so don't get surprised.

Personal comments
The international officer loks for the accomodation and they are pretty OK. It's good to arrive to a country that you don't know and have a bed to sleep the first night. The accomodation it's very close to the Institute but far away from town. There is a public bus to connect.
