I wish I would have been more aware that you really have to make an effort to meet local people. You will feel like you didn't have enough time there so make the most of every single day!

Personal recommendation
This university has a lot to offer. It may take a little effort to mix with the local students, but there is a great time to be had by everyone. Take advantage of the wide array of Irish studies courses and student societies.

Make the most of your international experience and don't hesitate to do all the things you wish for. Take advantage of student travel rates and immerse yourself in the local culture. There are several opportunities in Cork to see traditional Irish music, learn Gaelic sports, or just enjoy the everyday life of locals.

During the first two weeks of the fall semester you don't have to go to classes. they call this registration and really you go to check out the classes and see if you want to be enrolled. no irish students went or for that matter were even back at college yet.

That an Irish semester is only 3 months, instead of 5. Was a bit short.

Final comments
Cork is relatively a small place, so one can easily get around, however, the transportation system is not as efficient as that in Germany. It rains most of the times and there is no snow juring winter period.
In addition, one should try to make accommodation arrangement in advance because of accommodation scarcity.

I wish I had known more about all the alternative choices student can opt for to find an accomodation (i.e. the website www.daft.ie, through which I managed to find my second house)

This is a very well-organized structure. Students have the chances of experimenting a wide range of extra activities for free.
As far as Political science studies are concern, I think that some academic contents need to be improved (for some aspects, Italian university requires a deeper analysis of the themes). Anyway, some of my teachers turned out to be really smart, as did their lectures.
