There are various fancy dress and themed Céilí during the course so you can bring costumes for these if you like (not a necessity).

Due to space, we recommend one suitcase and a personal rucksack for day-to-day activities.

Phones are kept by the Bean an Tí in the house and are given to students to phone home between 6pm and 7pm in the evening. There are a couple of reasons for this:

First of all you are here to learn Irish and the best way to do this is to totally immerse yourself in the language.

Your phone is a major distraction in doing this.

“How will I survive?, I hear you ask.

You’ll survive perfectly fine. I’d go as far as to say you’ll be having so much fun interacting with people around you that you won’t even miss it.

All your meals are provided for each day. That’s breakfast, dinner, evening tea and supper. There is a shop in the village to buy sweets, drinks and ice-cream etc. and the college provides a sweet shop which is open for a short interval at night.

There may be optional tours provided by the college, they should cost no more than €25.

Also the college can order hoodies, t-shirts, pens but there is no pressure to buy.

We provide spring water and ask students to bring a water bottle.

Yes please do. You’ll have plenty of opportunity to use it. Song and all kinds music is encourage.

The Bean an Tí will do one wash per week during the course.

Yes, if your friend’s names you on the application form. We guarantee that you will be housed with at least one of your friends.

Between 6.30pm and 8.30pm.
