Course recommendations
I found the marketing courses really interesting and useful. The financial courses are maybe the best courses of that University: great teachers, the courses cover every aspect of finance, but they are maybe the most difficult

Personal comments
At the beginning it was quite difficult, because I thought I had a better knoledge of English: the main problem was to understand the local people; it was not a problem to understand the teachers and with time it became easyer to understand the local people. I met a lot of American people in the Residence where I was living so at the end my english was quite OK. I have to say, also, that I talked a lot in English with foreigners (German, French, Spanish, Dutch)so maybe I don't have an Oxford accent.

Personal comments
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

Personal comments
The accomodation was quite good and not expensive: the facilities were OK, maybe the room was too small, but the good point was that there were a lot of people from different countries, so it was like living in the centre of the world.
