Personal comments
The university has three pubs on campus, which is a drastic change from the puritanical dryness of my home university. It made it easy then to go "out", but the scene wasn't what I'm into (mostly loud chart-music-playing places where one goes to check out the boirds). Nancy Blakes can't be missed but getting downtone is a pain and the busses stop running kind of early (that might have changes).

Final comments
It is better to know Irish people who can give you advice and help you setting up. Cost of living is high but you can find a part-time job, even within the university. (e.g. Disability Services)

Personal comments
What I learned was to follow how much the dollar was compared to the Euro, and would take out money when the exchange rate seemed to be doing well. Also I saved money by buying food at the shop rather than eating out when I travelled.
