Brillant Past Review
By Maria J (International Business., Saint Vincent College) - abroad from 05/15/2014 to 06/14/2014 with
American College Dublin: Irish Language & Culture Program
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
This experience taught me a lot about myself. I liked it because we were on our own for the majority of the time, so we really got to experience Ireland the way we wanted to. It was an amazing time!! There was always something to do, and there were always people who wanted to do similar things. It was awesome because everyone was more independent and really did what they wanted too. It was worth going, and i would suggest this program to anyone
