Homestays are carefully selected and offer students the opportunity to learn more about the local culture in a comfortable setting while studying English in Dublin. These homes are often between 35 - 60 minutes away from the school by public transport. Families usually offer affordable meal plans that allow you to sample the local cuisine. If you have special requests or diet restrictions (because of religion or health reasons), please let us know in advance. Your housing starts on the Sunday before your first day of class and ends on the Saturday after your last day of class, unless otherwise noted. Learn more about homestay housing
Student residences are more suitable for an independent student, who is looking for clean, basic accommodation at an economic price. All students must be 18 - 100. Your housing starts on the Sunday before your first day of class and ends on the Saturday after your last day of class, unless otherwise noted. Student residences often do not include any meal plan.

Ask a questionRegarding her level if she would like to take GE plus IELTS it should not be a problem, however if she also wants to do IELTS classes in the morning pre Intermediate would not be enough for that.
We do have an ongoing IELTS and it would be suitable for a high pre intermediate student.
I would say pre-intermediate is quite low for IELTS classes, we would recommend to her to build up a bit her level taken General English classes in order to be able to take an IELTS course in the future.
I would suggest that she completes the online placement test. I can then determine if the IELTS class is suitable for her.
I wrote to our academic manager to ask his opinion on that. I would say it is possible for her to take the IELTS classes in the afternoon but not ideal.
