Personal comments
There´s quite a lot of slang, which I got the chance to learn because I used to live with local students. At the beginning it was a bit hard to understand every single word cause they speak really fast.
The language spoken by teachers at University was standard so this obviously made understanding a lot easier.

Personal comments
Although my level of English was meant to be good enough, I did encounter some communication problems, mainly because of the Northern Irish accent. However, I got used to it in a couple of months and realise how important spending some time in another country was to improve the level of your second language.

Personal comments
Almost all Wednesday, we go to Kelly's. It's a famous disco in Portrush, and the university put a free bus from the halls of residence. Go and return.
We usually go to Belfast to shopping. I like that city!
Also we have visited more than once the Giant's Causeway, it's amazing!
