I chose to live in Cork because of the feedback I read from other exchange students, and they were right. Cork has everything a student needs to have an incredible experience. Local people very friendly, easy access to other places in Ireland, lovely pubs and a large community of students. For sure you need to visit the Cobh's town in Cork. This is a charming town with cute architecture. I also recommend the Museum's Titanic in Cobh, it is very interesting place. I really like my teacher. Laura's classes are always dynamic and very fun. We learn a lot in each class and this is never boring. She cares about our evolution, gives us many tips to improve our English, she tells us important things about Ireland and does not let us speak in our mother tongue. The school has a great mix of nationality and even if there is the same nationality in the class, she encourages us to try to express ourselves more and more in The admin staff are attentive and answers our doubts quickly, always helping us in the best way. When we need some documents for bureaucratic matters, they are always open to providing it. The friendliness of the Irish people, the ease of traveling from Ireland to various countries around with affordable prices, the mix of nationalities in the country, various cultures, different accents and a lot of intercultural experience. The opportunity to work while studying for sure are very positive aspects that is been add to my personal, professional and academic life.

Cork is a small city. The thing that I enjoy the most is living close to the city center. You don't need to take the bus, you can go everywhere just walking 15/20 minutes. In your free time you can stay in the city center and just wander around. You can also take the bus and get closer to the sea to enjoy some small Irish towns. When I arrived I had a really friendly, fun and funny teacher. Always present to help and explain. I changed the class to prepare for the exam with another very professional teacher, able to assist us with all we need to know about the exam. All of the admin staff is proactive and reactive. They are very helpful and supportive with the student's requests. One of the most obvious aspects in studying and living abroad is discovering news and different cultures. Not only the Irish one but also the culture of our new friends at school. During each class we have to share our own experience to practice and give examples, so we can share a little bit of our culture about things that we are proud of. We can also learn from our classmates.
