Personal comments
the walls were very thin, with little or no insulation between them. therefore, the heat would be 80% lost in the first 40 min.all kitchen utilities were very old and non 100% functional. heating and electricity are not included in the rental price. I did not move from this house because I was on a scarce budget.

Personal comments
I had studied English for 10 years before I had gone for my Erasmus studies. But only there I realised that every language has many levels and can be taught only by living in the language. Irish has not been spoken much in Ireland anymore. There were some regions in the south and the west of the country where I met Irish.

Personal comments
If it is to be an engineering school, than it would be better to have some engineering subjects as well, which is far from being the case now.
Actually it might be quite hard to do engineering, when the majority of students cannot make the difference between integration and differentiation...
However, the emphasis should be more on scientific subjects, not on things that are basicly common sense and can be learned in pnly one week of your first job...
