Personal recommendation

I'd sayed before the level of the subjects are not very high and so you have time to travell around and to enjoy your stay. But I'd like that it is a bit harder, because sometimes I hear something in the lectures I already learned. But generally it is good because you can really improve your technical english. Also the teacher are mostly good and they able to explain the problems very well. And it is after some week no problem to follow the lectures. And this is good because when you cannot follow the lectures you will give up after some time and you don't learn anything.

Final comments

Travellin here is no problem, because from the colleg there are sometimes trips to somewhere in Ireland. Also it is no problem to rent a car. It is not that expensive. Travelling with bus is also possible but took's sometimes a long time. In generally when you come to Ireland you have to travel a lot because there are so many beautiful things to see. And the landscape is amazing.

I wish I had known...

There is nothing really importand I would mention. Just that I was a bit nervous before leaving for a year abroad. Now I know it was a great experience and I can be more relaxed and focused on what I want next time. But I needded that travel to realise this....

In my opinion the level of GMIT in somewhere between the University and Secondary High school in the Czech Republic. So there was something I missed there to call it the real University but would for sure recomned the GMIT as the first abroad-study experience destination.

Final comments

even if you think you have enough time to study for exams and final projects, it would be better to start studying at the very beginning of the course ,i.e. September. you will have a great advantage, especially if you are attending lectures from other courses.
