Athlone is quite small town so we travelled a lot. Aran Islands and Cliffs of mohair are very beautiful places to see. And cities I most liked Galway, it's not very big city but it is very beautiful.

Nothing, this year was the best time in my life because I did not know anything in advance, I had to explore everything myself and I really enjoyed this situation.

Ireland is beautiful, the green fields, the huge rocks, the cows and lambs everywhere, the rainbow on the sky. You need to see as much as possible beacuse time goes fast. Galway is a relly nice university city on the west coast, so go and explore it. My favourite place is the Cliffs of Moher, my best view ever in my life, amazing experience, huge rocks right beside the ocean, this is something what everybody needs to see.
I was doing rowing on the river of Athlone, the sport facilities always bring together new people, so do not be afraid of joining any of them.
Enjoy your time because this is really an adventure you will never forget.

Overall
I spent 4 years on campus and 1 year remote learning. The 4 on campus were some of the best years I have ever had, between friendships I made, and the subjects I studied.
