When do international students usually come home during breaks?

[u/f41ryb0n3s777]

I’m moving to Ireland this year in September and I saw that i have winter holidays from 21st Dec to the 3rd of January, and then summer holidays in may i presume? Do international students usually end up going home during the winter break considering they have exams right when they get back? Do they go back to uni during the study weeks?

Entirely depends on your access to money for plane tickets if people go home on short mid terms
