Extended reading: strategies for 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 Burger King. 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.
