A Look Back

* What do you know now that you wish you knew before going on this program? The staff at the American College Dublin help place me in an internship position that was exactly what I needed to fulfill the requirements of my home university and gave my valuable experience that was relevant to my degree plan. Any student would benefit from this particular program. The living arrangements were in safe areas and it was accessable to everything a student could need. The Direcotr of the Study Aboard Program is very involved with the students and ensures all thier needs are met.
