The program in Galway is amazing, from the very beginning to the end. You never feel alone, they took better care of me than my home university.

* Housing:

How satisfied were you with your living arrangements?

I lived with Irish students and one American from the program. It was one of the best living experiences to date. I really think it was helpful to live with local students-I felt more exposed to the whole culture.

* Food:

I had to to buy my own food, but it was very close from where I lived. the food was great though.

* Social & Cultural Integration:

How integrated did you feel with the local culture?

Absolutely amazing! I made some amazing friends, who I am still in contact with. The Irish students I met made the experience as great as it was.

* Health Care:

How well were health issues addressed during the program?

* Safety:

If you could do it all over again would you choose the same program? Yes
