American College Dublin: Irish Language & Culture Program
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
This was the best experience of my life and everyday i still find myself wishing i could go back. I made the most amazing friends and i couldn't picture my life without them in it. school was fun and i actually didn't mind going. I made some crazy memories that i still laugh about today and will probably still laugh about when im 80. After living in Ireland for 4 months, if made me realize that i could live there forever! its such an amazing place. I talk about it everyday. I cant put into words how much this experience means to me, it was 100 percent worth it.
