Well there is not much to say. It is really good.Some advice: travel with easyjet that flights from amsterdam to belfast. Take a lot of money at once at the cash machine, cause you have to pay a certain amount of money every time you take cash. The money you can save in your personal safe. You should really do the black cab tour: with takes you all around belfast, and you can see the differences between the katholics and the protestants. Nice things to go to: Dublin (3 hours by bus)Giants causeway, cliffs of mouher, well actually everythings beautifull. You can buy a pass at the student union with gives you a discount when you travel. The student union is always willing to help: bring you somewhere by bus, or gives you accest to the student rooms, were you can organise things.

the 2-week Easter vacation layoff i had was phenominal...i got to see Prague, Muncich and Barcelona. weekend tours to interesting cities in England are also pretty cheap and well run.

In Belfast there are a lot of nice pubs.I really liked: Robinsons, and next to school there is Caffeys, really good to. The nightclubs I liked: the egg, Botanic, Milk, Empire ( with stand up comedians every thursday and jazz at sunday). Well Belfast is covered with pubs that are really fun. There aren't a lot of tourist stuff, but there are a few churces, the city hall, the shopping area, and of course all the wall paintings, that are really interesting to see. Belfast has really a cultural city.

The accomodation was near school, and with a lot of rooms for students, It was about 10 pounds a night, which gives you a own room, with a bed, washing table, desk and closets. Every week your bedloundry is done by the cleaning staff. You got a shareg kitchen, baths and toilets, but you got you own safe.
