Learning To Value Myself And OthersMy experience was more than worthwhile. I formed friendships that I plan to maintain for life, was able to travel throughout Europe, and gained a new perspective on life. I was able to immerse myself in another culture and see what I liked about my own culture and what I did not like. I learned that my way is not always the best... |

Galway: My New Home Away From Home!I loved my year abroad in Ireland. I would do it again in a heart beat. I learned so much from my tie abroad, made great friends, and gained a new perspective on things that I would never had gained if I had not studied aborad. |

Great Pubs And Great People Of GalwayStudying abroad in Ireland was 100% worth it. Although it was difficult at times it was one of the best experiences of my life and I would do it again in a heartbeat. I saw and did things I never even dreamed I would and I'm so thankful I was given this opportunity. I feel I am much more cultured and have memories to last a life... |

Study Abroad In Galway, Ireland : The Best Time Of My LifeAbsolutely, between the friends I made and the places I visited, as well as the academic differences which made for a more interesting semesster, it was fantastic. I hope to spend more time in Ireland in the future as a result. |

You Learn A Lot About Yourself, But You Should Definitely Bring A Friend With You If You Come.It teaches you a lot about yourself, and about what you like in life and what you would like to do. It was an invaluable experience, but I would defeinitely reccommend going with a friend, and if you don't like to drink, and/or are involved in your faith community at home, don't expect to find that in Ireland. |

Discovering Irish Charm In GalwayI never really understood what "American" culture was until studying abroad. Talking with the Irish students and hearing their impression on America made me realize what the US means as a country-both the good and bad sides. |

(No Title)It was absolutely worthwhile. I learned that I am independent and can literally travel the world on my own. I learned that I am able to adapt easily, and that I am a strong person. I loved experiencing another culture and trying to assimilate. I would absolutely do it all over again!! I learned that the world is much bigger than... |

(No Title)I loved the experience. It was great getting to live in Ireland and become a part of that culture and get to make so many new friends. Every experience was a bonding one and while the cold was something hard to adjust to, now it's just one more story to tell everyone. I would recommend this program to anyone. |

(No Title)I loved every minute of my study abroad experience. There were times when I was homesick, but that happened to everyone. I have become more confident in myself and independent. I feel that I am able to do just about anything in any given situation. I am able to think on my feet better and just have more street smarts. I am able ... |

(No Title)Yes, it was a fantastic experience. The courses were challenging and interesting. People native to Galway are extremely friendly and almost always willing to sit for 5 minutes and chat. Galway is also a great central location to travel around Ireland and throughout Europe. |

(No Title)It was definitely worthwhile and one of the best decisions I've made. I've gained a much greater sense of who I am, how independent I can be and how much I can accomplish and overcome on my own. Going abroad is such a liberating experience. It has allowed me to look back on my time and realize that I was able to manuever my ... |

(No Title)I learned so much about so many different countries. This was pretty much my first time in Europe so getting to live in Ireland was amazing. I was also able to travel to other countries during some of the school breaks, which was definitely worthwhile! |

(No Title)It was the best five months of my life, and I genuinely did not feel ready to leave. The friends I made, places I went, and things I experiences are invaluable. |
Jessica B.06/09/2009 |
(No Title)My study abroad experience was very worthwhile. I gained so many different friends, that I would have never met if I never studied abroad. I gained self confidence in regards to meeting new people and traveling and a new self of independence. It was a great experience. |

(No Title)It was 100% worthwhile and I wouldn't have changed it for the world. The only thing I would have done differently was stay for the year instead of only one semester. I strongly recomment for everyone to study abroad at least for one semester. |

(No Title)My study abroad experience was definitely worthwhile. I had the time of my life and could not have been happier. I miss it everyday. I would tell everyone to study abroad it is the best thing you will ever do. I gained new friends, a different view of life, more experiences, so much. I feel like I have actually lived, it wasn't ... |

(No Title)My study abroad experience was literally the time of my life. I was exposed to different teaching styles and a different culture. I met some really great people and was able to experience other parts of Europe as well, since its fairly inexpensive to travel around the continent there. Europe is definitely more student-friendly a... |
