coffee – MacKat in Ireland http://ireland.markciecior.com Irish Adventures 'R' Us Thu, 04 Sep 2008 20:18:36 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.1 Erasmus vs. Study Abroad vs. International Students http://ireland.markciecior.com/?p=67 http://ireland.markciecior.com/?p=67#respond Thu, 04 Sep 2008 20:18:36 +0000 http://ireland.markciecior.com/?p=67 We went to orientation this morning and stood in line for our information packets which nobody could find.  After sitting through an hour of info we realized during the coffee break that we were in the Erasmus orientation – that’s for EU kids.  We were directed to the Study Abroad/Intl. Student orientation in a different building.  We sat there for another hour listening to the same info (apparently they go a lot slower for the Americans) before lunch.

After lunch we went on a tour in which we learned little because every building on campus was packed with tours and then got our student ID.  The student ID process, like most things here, was extremely unorganized and took forever.  The day was salvaged because we got a free dinner at one of the two pubs on campus.
