I gained a better sense of independence and I learned to take care of myself and say yes to more opportunities. This experience was absolutely worthwhile, and I am still in shock that I was able to go to Ireland and live there for four months. Like, what? It was the best time of my life.

It was completely worthwhile. I learned so, so much from studying abroad---both inside and outside the classroom.

About the main aspects of daily living for Irish locals. Yes! Connor Helgeson - Augsburg College View Entire Review

I learned about Irish history, culture, and landscape. I would not have been able to achieve the depth of my understanding without being there, seeing the historic and modern places, talking to other travelers, and talking with locals. My study abroad experience in Galway, Ireland was beyond worthwhile. It was life changing! Not... A student - Colorado State University View Entire Review
