    I completed a similar course in DIT a few years ago. It was International Business with Languages. German was my main language. From talking to other people the course was one of the best of its kind. It was more practical than UCD and DCU. The skills we learned for use of language were fantastic. The lecturers were all great and even if I didn't like one or two of them they were still very good at their jobs.
    The business side was not quite as pleasant an experience. I thought the course administrator was a joke. I won't go into too much detail but three of us nearly didn't get to go on our erasmus year! The lecturers were good though.
    At the end of it I got a degree that employers respect.

    The year abroad was the best year of my life bar traveling the world. I lived in Germany for almost a year. I met some amazing people. College was great. The money can be difficult if your parents can't help. I'd say in 11 months I spent about €10,000. I had saved about €2,000 of my own money and the EU gave us all a grant of about €1,000. The rest was from my parents.

    Its a good course to do regardless of where you do it but I recommend loving language because it is tough sometimes and you'll probably find yourself putting a lot more hours in in the library than friends doing other courses. (not including the likes of medicine and such of course).

    Its all worth it in the end though. I've heard DCU is good but being a DIT graduate I vote DIT!

    Really? because it looks to me like you just registered to praise a certain apartment complex and posted here to make your account seem more legit.

    The odds of you happening to be interested in a course posted on the same day are very slim indeed.

    Nice try. :P:P:P:P:P

    Pay closer attention, the usernames are different.
