It normally starts with an online search via portals such as Indeed, followed by the submission of resumes and potential interviews.

• I applied through university portal. The university has dedicated links with different spaces for accommodations.

No doubt, Campus Infrastructures are very good. As I studied at three universities, all three universities has good library particularly Maynooth and Glasgow university . They have sports clubs and other clubs, cultural events keep happening. You need to find your interest area but there is something for everybody.

I lived in Glasgow where the rent can be from 400-800 pounds for one room depending on the area, travel costs 100 pounds, groceries and another thing 300-500 depending. Ireland rent for a room - 600-800 euros Tallinn, Estonia - 235 euros for a double sharing room, you can rent a room in the city from 400 euros onwards.

If you talk about these factors it is amazing. The campus of this university is very beautiful and must visit if you come to Glasgow and the infrastructure is also very good.

I booked my accommodation through the university and the cost per month was around 900 GBP. Rooms were separate but I had to serve the kitchen with 5 other people.
