Course recommendations
Actually I haven't studied at the University, but I only applied for application process of the English Exam IELTS - Intenational English Language Testing System to Language Department at this University. I passed that Exam at the University in October 2003. Exam took about 5 hours and included four parts: Reading, Listening, Writing, Speaking. It was worth to take this exam because it gives me international qualification

Housing
Type of housing: Dorm on satellite campus of UCD
Arranged by: Home university
If returning, I would choose: On UCD MAIN campus
Why?
I lived in the Blackrock Campus of UCD, but took classes on UCD main campus. It would have been easier/more of a "college" experience if I had lived on the campus where I attended class.

Personal comments
The UCD Blackrock campus, (West and East Hall residences), are old but charming. The residences were once home to nuns(!) but have since been converted. All rooms are singles and have a sink, while bathrooms and kitchens are communal.

Study Abroad students are assigned advisors at the host university who can help them get acclimated. Take advantage of meeting with these advisors, they are valuable resources whom are there to help you!!

Personal comments
I was unaccustomed to the conventional means of assessment. For 3 of my classes, the final exam counted for 100% of the grade - this was foreign to me, and I found myself needing to adapt to the new academic norms.

Personal spending habits
I never missed a single chance to go out or to travel. Plus I had a part-time job (this is not easy to find back home)so I could actually spend a little bit more...I had more spare time,less to study as an Erasmus as well!!! Life is a little bit more expensive ...glaring exception, obviously, bier!!!
