Main low-cost airlines fly to dublin. It is important to know, transport and restaurants are more expensive than average south-european standards. Weather is not so bad in dublin.

Personal comments
There was a big international community, with students from all over the world. The english spoked at lectures tend to avoid big accents. It took sometime to adjust to "irish-english". But it definitively wasnt a problem or a barrier.

Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: In campus in a different residence
Why?
I was at Roebuck castle before it was refurbished. Then, it wasn´t as nice as the new facilities. Still campus life is worth it.

Personal comments
Most of the residences are nice, clean, with a good situation and well equipped. I had bad luck, choosing the worst residence,old and dirty. I believe is not a residence anymore.
