Semester in Ireland

I would suggest people plan ahead to go with several people from a university to share a suite with. I did not know my roomates going into it and it made for a rather uncomfortable living experience when I was not out doing things. There's also the fact that American students should know that the academic structure of a course is very different in Europe and should be advised to make a real effort in their classes while they are abroad. All in all it was a good trip and chance to learn about another country.
