Hi all,
As you might know allready, this semester I will study at Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland. I arrived exactly one week ago, so time for an update with the first impressions!
Last Tuesday quite early in the morning I had my flight from Brussels Airport to Dublin. The flight wasn't really crowded, so I had three seats for myself, which was very nice. After a good trip, I arrived at Dublin airport at 11.00 o'clock. I already booked my appartment from home, so I knew where I had to go (university does not arrange any accomodation in Dublin, so you have to arrange everything yourself). I took a taxi to my appartment, because I didn't feel like walking around with all my back in a totally new city, and after half an hour, I arrived at my appartment. It's located in the south of the city centre, about 15 minutes walk from the main shopping street! The university is located in the city centre as well, so I don't have to get up too early when I have lectures! ;) I share my appartment with a German girl, who I hadn't met before, but she's very kind. We share a bedroom, a large livingroom, kitchen and bathroom with only the two of us. She is also a student in business, but at another university in Dublin. I don't know yet how many universities there exactly are in Dublin, but there are many of them!
During my first week, I first spent some days discovering the city centre and find a supermarket, buying stuff which I couldn't bring from home and being a tourist! On my first evening here I met some fellow students of my roommate and last few days we spent also a lot of time with the whole group. Most of them are from Germany as well. Together we went to some Erasmus parties, had dinner and drinks, and we also went on a trip to Glendalough. This beautiful monument is in the Wicklow Mountains and during our day we discovered some of Ireland's beautiful nature! I also made a trip on my own to Howth, which is a half-island at the north of Dublin. Also that was beautiful! Next few days I will travel to the west, together with another student from Tilburg University. Looking forward to it!
My introduction week starts next Monday. Trinity has the latest introduction period of all universities here, so we are the lucky ones! I haven't met many other Trinity students till now, except for the other student from Tilburg and one German guy. But that is about to change next week!
I'll keep you updated!
Love, Charlotte
