Ireland: Personal Growth

Yes! I realized how the United States is viewed by other countries. Also it made me want to travel a lot more.

Ireland A Straight Forward Review

It was a great experience, the only thing is that i wish that i could have taken classes that would have counted towards my major. Also though ireland is a lot of fun it is quite difficult to visit other countries because of the distance not only to the the country itself but you have to put on an extra 3 hours to get to the air...

Irish American In Ireland

Studying abroad has made me want to travel more but it did make me realize how much I associate myself with where I come from and how I want to primarily stay there.

I Left My Heart In Galway City

Totally. I made my own way and made great friends both in the musicians' community and with my fellow Arcadians. Totally worth it!

Galway: Studying In Heaven

Yes, I completely loved my experience abroad in Ireland and would go again in a heartbeat. It really showed me how cultures all over Europe compare to ours and I would love to be more internationally aware and go abroad more in my future.

Galway, Ireland: The Joys And Challanges Of Studying Abroad

I gained a new understanding about myself and definitely became much more independent. I loved being able to travel and see places across Europe I have always wanted to see. I have learned to take chances and immerse myself in places I am unfamiliar with. I have also become much more appreciative of the United States and the op...

Ireland, A Home Away From Home

Absolutely worthwhile! I'm always drawn to learning from those different from me, and even though I didn't think this would be a huge change, there were an immense amount of subtle differences to pick up on. I'm in school for chemistry and I had the opportunity to take only one class involving that, but I learned a huge amount a...

Ireland: Coming Full Circle (With Lots Of Music Along The Way)

I want to travel more, and I gained a greater appreciation for my hometown, too. As a musician, I can definitely see myself coming back to Galway to live!

Ireland: Culturally Rich And Accepeting

I have always been accepting to other cultures because I live in a big city in America so it is like a huge melting pot of people. It was a new experience being a minority in an entire country but exciting at the same time. Learinging about the different places and how the people vary from county to county, even the accent, was ...

My study abroad experience was the best experience in my life. If I could study abroad again in Galway, I would definitely do it! From the experience, I learned to be more confident, independent and better able to understand people from different cultures.

I'm glad I went, as I saw a lot of beautiful places and met a lot of great people. My classes at the university were really interesting, and I learned a lot about Irish history and culture. If you want to study in Ireland, I think Galway is the best place to be. However, if I did it again, I probably would consider choosing a co...

My study abroad experience was one of the most worthwhile things I have ever done in my life. I learned so much about myself, about others, and about the world. I understand that the world is so big and it was great to get perspective. I would do it again in a heartbeat, and cannot wait to return!

I am so happy that I chose to study abroad in Galway. It is one of the best decisions I have ever made. I now realize how much more dependent and reliant I was on others before I went to Ireland. Now, I am exponentially more confident in every aspect of my life. I realize that being away from all of my family and most of my ...

Choosing to go abroad was the best decision i ever made.The 5 months I spent in Galway, Ireland are the happiest 5 months of my life to date. I became more independent - I had to learn to cook for myself, I had to be more on top of myself about schoolwork, I had to get myself around the city, as well as around the other cities I...

I have so many stories that I still love to talk about and pictures that I love to look at. Everyday I think about how lucky I am to have experienced this. I grew up during study abroad. I ...

My study abroad experience was beyond worthwhile. I had the opportunity to live in another country for five months, learn a new culture, take classes, meet new people and travel. It enriched my college experience tremendously allowing me to work with students from other cultures and take in how other places in the world approach...

Studying abroad was one of the best things I have ever done. It expands your horizons and teaches you new things about yourself and the world around you. I fell in love with Ireland and I know I'll be back! I was able to travel to other countries and meet new people - all things I probably would have never done otherwise. I gain...
