# Studying in Ireland # Introduction Ireland is an important country in Europe and a neighbor of Britain, which is influenced by the world's advanced education powers. The following is the common sense of studying in Ireland, food, clothing, housing and transportation shared by KaoNet. Welcome to read the reference! 1. Basic knowledge of studying in Ireland.

I. Clothing

Influenced by the temperate maritime climate, Ireland is rainy all the year round, so it is essential to bring as many warm clothes, raincoats and umbrellas as possible when preparing for studying abroad. Summer here may suddenly get cold because of rainy weather, so you need to take a warm coat when you go out here.

In Ireland, it feels like winter from 10 to April of the following year. Although the temperature is not very low, it often rains and the cold wind blows. Don't feel too low. However, staying in a heated room is very comfortable. Generally, you can stay indoors in winter if you have nothing to do. So down jacket is really necessary in Ireland, and it feels like it can be worn for a year. Also, you must wear a hat when buying clothes. When it rains, just cover your head and leave. So no umbrella? An umbrella? I'm kidding. In such a strong wind, people are blown to the east and west, let alone umbrellas, let alone raincoats. Nobody will wear it. It looks silly. It doesn't rain much in Ireland, so a hat is enough. If it rains heavily, you'd better find a shelter.

Second, food.

The traditional eating habits in Ireland are similar to those in Britain. Potatoes, vegetables and beef are the main foods in the family, and bread is also one of the staple foods in Ireland.

On the basis of traditional diet, Ireland has also introduced the diets of France, Italy and other countries, which are generally light. Because the capital Dublin is close to the sea, there are many fresh seafood, and some seafood dishes are famous. In addition, Irish people like dairy products very much. Yogurt, cheese, eggs, fruit, etc. They are all daily necessities. In particular, Irish people also like Jiangsu cuisine and Cantonese cuisine in China. There are few varieties of fruits and vegetables, Chinese food is not fully seasoned, and the materials and equipment for making western food are super complete. The prices of McDonald's, Subway and Hamburg. Chinese restaurants cater to the tastes of westerners. They are rarely authentic and expensive. Do it yourself, it's affordable and delicious.

Third, live.

Universities in Ireland are equipped with dormitories for college students. The environment is very good and the learning atmosphere is rich. School dormitories need to be booked in June every year, and one-time payment is required for one academic year.

The choice outside the student dormitory is the host family. If you find a host family to live for a long time, it will be very beneficial to improve your language ability and integrate into local life as soon as possible. And many families will provide students with two meals a day, and someone will help you when you meet some difficulties. What students need to do is to get along well with their host families, pay attention to the cultural differences between China and the West, be considerate of each other in everything, be cautious, regard themselves as a member of ordinary Irish families as soon as possible, and abide by the boarding rules. The cost of studying in Ireland will probably include rent, utilities, meals, school supplies, pocket money and some miscellaneous expenses, of which the rent is relatively high, about 2 10 a month, followed by meals, which is nearly 140 a month.

Fourth, ok

Ireland's public transport system is very safe and efficient. Buses, coaches and trains are the most common modes of public transport in Ireland. For students, the most economical means of transportation is the bus. With a regular student card, you can buy a 50% discount student ticket, and all kinds of tickets will be discounted. Student tickets cost 40 pounds a month.

In Ireland, it costs 44 love pounds to buy a monthly ticket for buses and trains, 65,438+00 love pounds to buy a weekly ticket for buses and 65,438+00 for a package ticket for trains. If international students only buy a one-way ticket, the bus fare is 0.6 love pounds to 10.

Unlike China, Irish cars drive on the left, and the law requires drivers and passengers to fasten their seat belts. Students who want to drive on weekends need to book cars in advance.

2. Matters needing attention in studying in Ireland

1, inform in advance

There are few school dormitories in this country, so most of them rent their own houses to study there, and the most chosen way is to live with local families, so there are actually many places to pay attention to in this aspect of life. Just like if there are some things or activities that hinder the pace of going home for dinner after school, you should tell them in advance or when, so that they won't wait for you to eat, and then if you don't go back without any news, they will think that something may happen, because this is the most basic common sense in this country, so they may contact the school or the police without any news.

2. No pets.

If you live alone, you are very free. You can do what you like, but if you apply for several school dormitories or live in local homes, it won't work. There are many things that are restricted. For example, people who like pets very much can't keep pets, because these occasions are actually public places, so when doing something, we should still think from the perspective of others, because keeping pets is actually very troublesome, sometimes it will make the room dirty and messy, and it may also affect other people's lives.

3. Do it after approval

Studying in this country, the food there may not be so suitable and like. At this time, many students will want to eat familiar flavors, so sometimes they will make them themselves. But you should know that it is the most basic courtesy to live in someone else's house and use everything. If you use it without permission, it will be very confusing, because in fact, as long as there is no strong smell, it will basically not be rejected, so just talk to the relevant people before using it. Of course, when it comes to the taste, let's talk about some possible situations first, and then let them agree or disagree.
