Making Friends at Dunaras
Dunaras is a mecca for students from around the globe and almost every county in Ireland. This year we played host to students from New Zealand, The Carribean, The US, Canada, and several European countries including Ireland.
Each study group have their own block and all are arranged around a central courtyard. Thus we have the 1st year block, the post first year block, the Post Graduate block, and the International block, all with close access to their own group and yet all grouped around the one courtyard, and with access to a single reception, mini market, laundry and bus service. With capacity for 409 students we have given alot of thought to allocating our students so that they make friends easily.
Our reception is manned by young but experienced multi-lingual staff who are attentive and friendly.
Life at Dunaras is relaxed, the services are excellent and the company is good!
