It depends on where you're from. If you're an EU citizen you'll be able to work as many hours as you like. If you're from anywhere else the number of hours your visa allows you to work will be restricted.

If you have a work visa you should be able to find work in shops, bars or restaurants. Many students do this type of work in order to survive. These jobs don't pay brilliantly but the minimum wage is about 8.65euro per hour, so if you work full-time you should be able to earn enough to live on. You could also try to get work in one of the many call centres in Dublin - your native language may be an asset in trying to get this kind of work and it is better paid than most student-style jobs.

I don't know about sharing a room with 4 other people - a house maybe, but not a room - but expect to pay at least 500 a month for a house share. You can find people to share with on:

Living expenses are quite high, I couldn't calculate these with any degree of accuracy, but if you shop in Lidl and Aldi, cook and eat your meals at home and do most of your socialising outside of the city centre you should be okay.

You'll find that Dublin has quite a large immigrant population and I would hope that your experiences if you come to live in Ireland will be positive ones. Most of us are friendly and welcoming - there are a few idiots who give us a bad name, but we're slowly trying to weed them out. Good luck!

People in Ireland don't hate immigrants, most of us are quite accepting of them.

If you are an EU national, and get your paperwork sorted properly, I don't see how you would not be allowed to work while studying.

Start by looking on these websites: www.nixers.com, www.fas.ie and www.recruitireland.ie.

Get the college you're studying at to help you find suitable accommodation.

It really depends on what part of Ireland you're going to live in. If you intend moving to Dublin then expect an expensive lifestyle and very high rents. Other counties such as Cork, Limerick or Galway may suit your financial situation better. Jobs are scarce on the ground at the moment in Ireland and even if you have a good qualification they can be hard to find. Expect to commute to work aswell as city centre rents are always more expensive than outlying suburbs.
I wish you well and if you are willing to work hard then someone will be very lucky to have you in their emoloyment.
Good luck.

If you are from Greece they will treat you as a second class citizen. For jobs... the economy is on slide, the companies are moving... better UK or I would say Scotland. You will be welcomed at once.

The life is very lonely in Ireland. The most of the Irish students don't talk to foreigners and hardly you can find natives and foreigners friends. There are a lot of idiots who will try to ripp you off cause you are not Irish but as far as you don't complain the negatives of the country you will be fine. The hospitality is a false myth maybe a well promoted touristic cambaign. Personaly it's the only country I didn't make friends and I had abused because of my foreign nationality, ended up to feel ashamed for that.

It's not good you hear the oppinions from people who don't even live in this country but once again don't believe what they tell you. The locals are very snobby and even if you find an open minded person don't expect to be your friend, likely there are a lot of non irish students in Dublin and you will be fine to get some friends.

How is it possible in our civilized world, where a minimum of education is easily available for everybody, that people come to completely lack of any capacity of thinking logically? no reason, no logic conclusions. I dont think stupidity can be an excuse for that. Even an underprivileged brain has received enough input, enough education to be able to understand the basic rules of human communication. How is it possible that we still find such savage people in our world of economic wealth, education, culture and all kinds of social and cultural accomplishments?
