At the beginning it has been a bit hard, but people were very kind. I always met people that helped me everytime I couldn't understand. And in university teachers used slides, so I have had little problems to follow the courses

For Nightlife lovers, templebar in Dublin City is full of different option.
I particulary liked the I.F.C. (International Films Centre). If you're into moovies, with capital m, this place is unmissable.(great food as well)

If you go to Dublin you have to go to the Whealan's: it's in the city centre, there are concerts every night and after the gigs there is a dj that plays a kind of alternative rock stuff. I think the best club in Dublin is the Ri-Ra: it's small but the music is the coolest that you can find in Dublin. If you want to listen to some real Irish Traditional music then you have to go to Blackrock on monday night to the Whishing Well

The accomodations were fairly good. I did not like not having a phone line or internet access in my room.
