My flatmate brought us everything to celebrate! He was also from China! :) I hope you have an awesome time at UCC-please let me know if you have any questions for me!!

Hey! There’s not :( super easy to live downtown without a car though! None of my intern friends brought their cars; we just used the public transit! :)

Thanks! It saved lots of space! I think I found mine at a store called At Home, but here’s one on Amazon that looks similar: www.amazon.com/Whitmor-Over-Door-Shoe-Shelves/dp/B00HGMAL36/ref=mp_s_a_1_18?crid=OFX3QXSQSSIC&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.6zGjm0CCqYUyWY1ZWeed-LIf6Uyi4d3MZAipQypkQBuWjb49zgrXpCjTwa_VkYid1L_7LKFJIovZpc68g6JHyHgQvZXyAwPzIZfCQ44P8WEHcTL-olS7DW5YMp-8N1Ci2FPd2kK-PyJmRLBIQF8PBrWHaSCvdazpNLjrd-Nssf5tyD-8GsNGaOvGGJ-D46Ekxyzguc_q9El0bwXz5GlA8g.CspuavK9V2MPnaO3kBDna62Xc66T-b-hrL72ySaZTCw&dib_tag=se&keywords=closet+door+shoe+organizer+hanging&qid=1712325196&sprefix=shoe+organizer+for+closet+han%2Caps%2C219&sr=8-18

AWWWWW I’m so honored!!!! It was such a great semester/experience, and I miss it a lot! Please let me know if you ever have any questions :)

Hahahaha humble beginnings for sure

Hi! Of course! Here's my email :) erin.olaughlin@hotmail.com

A and D!

Of course! I'm glad it was helpful. Here's the link to where I lived, which also shows costs: scholarlee.ie/Magazine-road.html I think there are cheaper places to live in Cork. I chose Scholarlee because I only wanted a 4 month lease. I'd also recommend looking into subleasing from people to find cheaper options!

@@ErinOLaughlin_ Thanks

Hi!! I think I signed in late December/early January. I’d recommend calling them when you fill out your application to ensure they put your application at the top of the list. And I think it was 379 a week! I paid for 11 weeks

Hey! I'm so glad it helped. It's super easy to have packages delivered -- there's an office where packages go, and you'll get an email when you have a package for pick-up!

This means a lot coming from my favorite RUclipsr!!!!

Hi! Definitely bring a Roku or hdmi cord for the TV, shower curtain (unless you have the room with its own bathroom), and other than the normal expected things, I can’t think of much else! It doesn’t come with a dining table if that affects what you pack. I feel safe in the Loop during the day to roam around by myself, but I personally wouldn’t risk it at night. I feel safe enough on the trains and walking at night as long as I have a friend or two with me Let me know if this doesn’t fully answer your questions, and I’m happy to give more details!!!

I have enjoyed living at Arc! I feel safe living here (within reason). I am never out at night by myself, so I can’t speak to that, but the apartment has 24/7 security… I always feel safe within the apartment. There is an area across the street where there’s a constant group of people cat calling and stuff like that, but I feel safe enough that’d I’d recommend Arc for student housing to others!

Thank you

Thank you!!!

Hi! I replied on your other comment :) let me know if you have any other questions!

I think the curtains were 84 inches? And I do not remember for the rod, but I got one that was adjustable since I wasn’t sure how long I’d want it. I bet you can find the dimensions of the window if you search for Ridgecrest South on UA’s website!

Thanks!

I miss you!!!

Hey!! That’s so exciting. The first thing I can think of is just to go into it with the understanding that the job probably won’t always be the most fun, but the experience and the people you come across will make it worth it. Sometimes you might need to remind yourself of this haha because I know I definitely lost sight of that for a while and regret it now! I miss that summer all the time and only remember the positives now :)

@@ErinOLaughlin_ Thank you so much for the advice! I could definitely see that happening, so its great to know that going into it! I am so excited to be in the Tetons and meet so many new people!

@@josiefoss8382 of course!! So happy for you! Please let me know if you have any other questions as the summer gets closer :)

Thank you!! We did, but I also know some people who didn’t and still ended up in a suite!

Hi! It depends on where you decide to live. My apartment was a little expensive compared to others just because I was struggling to find anything at the time. I think it was around 250 euros a week or something. I just googled short term housing in cork!

I love Teton Thai, Liberty Burger, and pizza in Dornan’s! On a Monday night, the hootenanny is really fun in Dornan’s with live music and food :)

If you google Ridgecrest South, the dimensions for everything are on their website! Here’s what I found for the desk: “Desk (2 pieces)(desk, 30” W x 24” D x 30” H) (storage unit, 18” W x 24” D x 30”H)”

I should’ve!! Was a fun place!

Do you have Instagram? You can dm me @erin.olaughlin. :) otherwise, no worries and I can send over my email!

@@ErinOLaughlin_ Thank you so much for getting back to me! :)

@@ErinOLaughlin_ I only have email

Hey Alison! I don’t remember what the exact rules are on dorms anymore. I’m guessing that TECHNICALLY you’re not supposed to have a crockpot, but I don’t know that it actually matters. I’ve never known anyone to put the microwave anywhere else, but I’m sure you could! We made another dorm tour a few months before this one that walks through each person’s room and we say which room letter we have in that video :) Let me know if you have any other questions!

Hey James - these types of trips I coordinated on my own with friends I met at UCC! One of my friends is from Italy so she planned this trip :)

Thank you!!

I had a hard time finding short term accommodation, so this was one of the options I found. I saw Scholarlee and the Hatch and ended up picking Scholarlee because it was so close to campus. Campus was maybe a five minute walk which was so nice!! Walking to the city took like 30 minutes, but I liked being close to campus because it motivated me to go to class

I miss it 😢😢

Hi Alexandra - I honestly don’t remember which documents I needed at this point. Sorry, wish I could help!

UCC doesn’t provide the accommodation, but there are a lot of student accommodation options around the city!

I loved it! UCC had a great international program, and I had an awesome experience. I miss it! Have so much fun if you end up going :)

Nice! I think my suitcases are Travelpro brand but I could be wrong. Is that what you mean?

@@ErinOLaughlin_ I meen what to bring with me

Like essentials

Ohh, I see. I would recommend bringing comfortable shoes you can wear all the time (lots of walking… I had white reeboks), a rain jacket/rain boots, travel-sized toiletries in case you decide to go on trips during the semester, a lock for hostels, a journal, a waterbottle, etc. You can buy bedding from Penney’s when you get here, so I wouldn’t worry about anything like that! I was sure to pack lots of warm clothes too since it was generally pretty cold

I’m glad! You’ll have to bring your own pots and pans for the communal kitchens

Thank you!! I do too :)

I used nails but my roommate used command hooks. She said that the hooks WILL rip the paint off the wall and you’ll be charged $50, so she suggests using nails. In Ridgecrest South, you get 10 nail holes allowed before being charged I am pretty sure

Haha thank you!!! That’s so fun - I hope that works out for you!

Haha yeah I was! I was very happy with my experience with Scholarlee. They were very accommodating and also had a cleaning service every other week to clean our kitchen and living room which was super nice. I liked how close it was to UCC as well. And Sicilian Delights across the street is 👌🏻
