We often get asked by potential English language students about the benefits of studying in a town versus a city school. We are based in a town and have put together 6 reasons why studying in our English Language School is the best option for you.
Lower living costs
For long term English language students, one of the biggest advantages of studying English in Bundoran is the cost of living. Compared to popular city destinations like Dublin, Cork and Galway, Bundoran rents are much lower. In Dublin, the average monthly rent for a two-bedroom apartment is around 1900 euros, in Bundoran you can rent an apartment for around 600 euros.
You also save on the cost of transport since you can walk everywhere.
Lastly, the minimum wage in Ireland is the same throughout the country, so ultimately you will be left with more money in your pocket!
Meet the locals
Living in Donegal, gives you the opportunity to get a real immersion into the Irish way of life. Our English Language school is actively involved in the community and tries to involve our students as much as possible in local life through volunteer work, beach cleans, monthly meet the experts and much more.
When here, don’t be surprised if when walking down the street everyone greets you, from the postman to the shop assistants. Everyone is very friendly and willing to learn more about you, thus creating a greater opportunity to practice English, whilst getting to know the local culture, and feeling more at home.
Study in a language school that really values its students
It is important to us that our students feel that they are an individual and not a number. To enable this, we keep small ratios throughout all activities and classes.
All our teachers are highly qualified with a vast range of experience and expertise. They offer professional classes, promote learner confidence, self-awareness and encourage our students to take control of their own language learning journey.
Adventure activities
Bundoran is also known as the surf capital of Ireland and there are waves for all levels, but this is not the only attraction. Bundoran has sports for all tastes: kayaking, climbing, horse riding, hiking. If you are a sporty person and love to enjoy outdoor adventures, this is the place for you!
Get to know the know the famous Wild Atlantic Way
Of course, we can’t forget to mention the Wild Atlantic Way, where we are located, which has some of the most breath-taking landscapes in Ireland. It’s the perfect destination to learn English. Where the Atlantic Ocean meets the beautiful coastline of the west coast of Ireland, the landscape is utterly unique and awe-inspiring, and the people are so friendly and welcoming. The Wild Atlantic Way stretches all the way from Donegal where we are located to the tip of southernmost Cork.
Everything is within walking distance
No need to pay for buses or trains, everything is within walking distance. From our school, to the supermarkets, restaurants, pubs and the beaches, you can easily reach your destination.
