Been to Ireland twice. For a small town we loved Kinsale. Its on the coast below Cork, very picturesque. Its known for its restaurants/food scene. I also really enjoyed Derry. If you're a history buff, the Troubles are still very "palpable" there. Belfast has the same terrible history, but it almost feels commercialised if that makes sense. In Derry it feels like the issues at the heart of the Troubles are much more pervasive and still present.

Also, if you are staying out of the bigger cities, you'll likely be staying in bed and breakfast type places. The host would typically ask us where we were headed that day, they often knew someone there and would call and make us a reservation. Allowed us to be very flexible with our itinerary.

Yes, the Retzky College of Pharmacy. Thanks for the information, its very helpful. Any idea what the cost of housing is in those areas you mentioned? Trying to come up with a idea off how much it will cost her to live there, as opposed to staying in Arkansas and going to UAMS in Little Rock. The tuition at the 2 schools is comparable.

Been registered on TD for a while, but have never posted. My daughter has been accepted to pharmacy school at the UI Med center in Chicago. She and my wife will be up there in a few weeks for a tour of the school. How safe is that area in general? I've heard mixed reports. And is there anything in the surrounding area that would be considered a place students would hang out or socialise?
