Review Your Program

* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
Seminars were smaller, very informative, and much more like a typical PC course. With very little continual assesment, keeping up with the reading throughout the semester in all classes was even more crucial. |

* Housing:
How satisfied were you with your living arrangements? |
Gort na Coiribe I shared a room with another girl from my study abroad program. We lived in an apartment with 4 other Irish students. The whole apartment complex was filled with other students from NUIG. It was located within walking distance to both campus and town. Good location. <br /><br /> |
