Student Reviews

"I spent three wonderful weeks working in a restaurant in Athlone. This experience was as enriching linguistically as it was humanly. The team with which I worked allowed me to discover the world of catering in joy and laughter. The city is very pleasant and I hope to be able to return to Ireland. Icing on the cake, I even received a small remuneration for my services."
