Personal comments
Normally you get a room in the international student house which are close to school and clean and furnished.The strange thing is that they never have enought rooms for all foreign students so some end up being far away from the others.

Personal comments
Molly Malone's is the best place to meet foreign people. Studio 51 is the best club, and if you manage to find all the right happy hours it's not so expensive after all. The best parties are however given in the student's appartments.
