I think that if a person doesn't make an experience like this, he can't learn any language, because in this we can learn both language and culture of a country

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
A self-selected house shared with other people of different countries as a community is the best experience you can make . . . like in Auberge Espanol!

If you have the choice, don't go to Yeats Village!! They are kind of strange in money matters and contracts for the rooms. Also the security personnel is instructed to prohibit every kinf of party or even a dinner with more than 3 people. That's mad, 'cause you need to meet with your new friends - even at night! The frase "All non-residents have to leave!" is quite normal! And the most annoying abot that is, that they don't stop parties when the celebrities are Irish! Can you believe that?! But, ok, you have Internet all the time and a short 5 min. walk to the college. If you really sign in here, than make sure, not to have Irish Firstyearers sharing the rooms with you, 'cause they are very rude and never clean up, if you don't drill them to do (which is no fun at all)!

If you speak every day english the language after 6 month is not a problem. you can speak with everybody and everybody will understand you (more or less...).
