Replies amiee Posted at 12:50 pm on Sep. 2, 2008 How much would it be costing you to travel home every weekend? It might be easier and so much cheaper to stay in Dublin and just make sure you get your holidays down so that you do have the odd free weekend to travel home and see friends. Also remember that with uni you do get a fair amount of holidays! I think you just need to weigh it up - expenses, your own happiness, what your gut feeling is about the situation, etc. Dragon22876 Posted at 2:37 am on Sep. 1, 2008 Work where you feel you should work.
