As regards the travel expenses, they do not necessarily have to be so high if one chooses to fly with Ryan Air. On arrival in Limerick and at Mary I, I believe the best thing one can do is to be extrovert and open-minded. If new students follow this piece of advice, then they are bound to get new friends quickly.

Dépenses habituelles

When studying abroad, one tends to go out more often. I believe that it is necessary to be extrovert and interested in the host community if one wishes to gain a deeper insight into the culture and make new friends. Moreover, one also spends more money travelling for the simple reason that one wants to experience as much as possible during one's stay.

Commentaire personnel

If one expects to stay abroad for a longer period of time, it might be a good idea to look into the possibilities of opening up a bank account and making one big transfer as opposed to continuously withdrawing money from an account in one's home country - this can easily end up becoming a costly affair.

Recommandations de cours

Due primarily to the fact that Mary I is a fairly small university, we had a great relationship to our professors. I generally found that all of my professors were very passionate about their fields of study, and thus new students should not hesitate to choose whichever couse they find the most interesting. I, for my part, chose the following courses: literary modernism, media and society, American history from 1945 to the present,and a purely language-related course.

Commentaire personnel

As I was already proficient in English prior to going to Ireland to study and as the language of instruction at my home university is also English, I must admit that I have not given it much thought. Moreover, I have also passed a Cambridge Proficiency Examination while living in Sydney (1996-1997)before I began my studies at the University of Aarhus, and hence I have never really experienced any language barriers.

Commentaire personnel

We visited as many pubs as possible while in Limerick. However, Duck's Warehouse was definitely one of my favourite places due to the fact that they held some great concerts there. Furthermore, when in Ireland, one should necessarily spend a weekend in Belfast, Dublin and Cork. As regards sports facilities, we frequently went to the University of Limerick where they had recently built a huge sports arena.
