Because food is more expensive in Ireland than in France, I don't use the phone here to communicate but internet, and I travel more this year than normally.

The cost of living in New Orleans is very cheap and at the time I studied in Ireland the exchange rate was not great.

Personal comments
Although things seemed more expensive, as long as you are not crazy with your money, and budget to a certain extent it is very doable with money left over for lots of travel:)

“Atmosphere amongst students”

OverallIn general within this University I found there to be a common theme of hard-work amongst students and this atmosphere brings the best out of students and pushes them to be the best they can be.

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I was sharing a house with three others. All of them were natives and allready worked. It seemed like all the other Erasmus students didn´t mix up to much with natives and stayed in the Erasmus circle with all of the other foreigners. So I think it´s good if you live together with natives because you ahve the opportunity to learn more about the country and its people. It´t better for your english as well! There were a lot of Germans busy with getting to know other Germans! I guess that´s not the sense of going abroad!
