* Housing:
How satisfied were you with your living arrangements? |
I lived in a 4 person apartment with 3 other American girls in an aparment building with primarily American students. <br /><br /> The location of my apartment was in the middle of the city which was a perfect location. |
| * Food: |
The food provided at the university was fine. I was a little disappointed to find out that students who studied abroad through programs other than Arcadia received meal tickets so they did not have to worry about paying for food on a regular basis, they had their meal tickets. We did not have this through Arcadia. I realize that if we had these meal tickets, the coast of the program would have been more but I think it would have been worth it. |
|
* Social & Cultural Integration:
How integrated did you feel with the local culture? |
The people in Ireland are awesome and extremely friendly. They might be the thing I miss most about Ireland. |
