I will forever cherish memories of riding the DART to the seaside, exploring markets, bookstore hopping, going to services in St. Patrick's Cathedral, walking the streets, and simply taking Dublin in. Walking the city, it became mine. I've never felt so intimately connected to a place. Anna S - Hope College View Entire Review
Being abroad opened my eyes to how big the world is in many ways, but it also made the world seem small too. While traveling I found myself able to connect with people from all over from Ireland to Italy to the Netherlands. Being abroad really boosted my self-confidence because while moving to a new place and making new friends ... A student - University of Iowa View Entire Review
Not only did I learn how to be a better traveler, communicator, and student, but I gained a lot more confidence in everyday things. From the moment I left for Ireland to the day I had to return to the U.S, I feel as though my confidence levels have changed dramatically and I am a much better person because of it. Allie H - Providence College View Entire Review
I gained a new confidence in my ability to go out, try new things, and succeed. I made so many friends and connections while there. Hannah Strickland - University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill View Entire Review
I gained a better sense of myself, as well as a better sense of the world at large. I gained wisdom, friends, and experience. But the real gains are intangible, and hard to name with a single word--sort of intrinsic feelings of being wider, somehow, and deeper; of having one's world widened. It was most definitely worthwhile. Cassidy Clayton - University of Rochester View Entire Review
The biggest lesson I learned was how to push myself out of my comfort zone. I think that is something that I had heard before and always thought I was doing until I got to a new city, in a new country with new people. It's easy to forget that even though doing something challenging may be a bit out of your comfort zone, doing th... Sarah Opinsky - Indiana University - Bloomington View Entire Review
I grew as an individual on the program and learned a lot about what I am capable of whether that be traveling on my own for the first time, diving into new things, or making a whole new friend group, study abroad and Ireland was one of the greatest things I have ever done. Leana Young - University of Illinois - Chicago View Entire Review
Very worthwhile, I learned a lot about Irish culture and history with a focus on literature. My schedule also allowed me to travel around the country almost every weekend. Olivia M - Trinity University View Entire Review
I gained a sense of adjusting to another culture. Yes it was extremely worthwhile A student - Trinity University View Entire Review
I learned to welcome and appreciate any culture that I come across. Instead of rejecting the little differences, embrace them. They may not all be pleasant at first, but there was nothing that made me feel like I was in a completely foreign land. I also learned to put myself out there, to do things I wouldn't normally do. Those ... Daniel Day - University of Pittsburgh - Pittsburgh View Entire Review
I learned to be more outgoing and I became more independent. Before going on this trip, I had never been on my own before. It was hard at first, but after a while there was a sense of freedom. I was no longer waiting for others to join me on my adventures, because I was okay just doing it on my own. I was not restricted to someo... Perla - University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill View Entire Review
It was absolutely worthwhile! I gained cultural knowledge, as well as developed a greater sense of awareness. I made friends and I still keep in touch with my roommates from the program. Furthermore, I absolutely fell in love with Ireland. It is filled with charming, caring, and diverse people. The scenery is so breathtaking...

I learned to be my own person and not depend on others for what I want to do. It was incredibly worthwhile and I would do it again if I could. A student - Hope College View Entire Review
The Writer's Program was 100% worthwhile! I learned so much about Ireland culturally and historically, but also learned about myself as a writer. This experience informed me on the life I want to live and the career choices I want to make for myself. I found this experience to be perfect as a junior, especially in your second se... Katie L - University of Nebraska - Lincoln View Entire Review
I learned a lot about how to be independent and immerse myself in a new culture. Going to an English speaking country made this easier, but I still felt that I was able to learn a lot about myself and grow. Maya R - University of Pittsburgh - Pittsburgh View Entire Review
I gained an independence that I think would have taken me longer to develop if I hadn't gone abroad. Going abroad teaches you how to make decisions for yourself, and because you have the opportunity to travel so often, it also teaches you good planning and organization skills. I think I gained a confidence abroad that would have... Eleanore Cole - Sewanee: The University of the South View Entire Review
I gained so much more perspective. This was my first time overseas, so it changed my whole world view. I learned that things are so different in other countries, and that seeing the same country your whole life is not beneficial. It made me feel so lucky to get to see the world, and it was beyond worthwhile. Brittany Judge - Purdue University View Entire Review
I gained confidence about my ability to take care of myself and handle any situation that comes my way. Allison G - University of Iowa View Entire Review
How to experience a new Culture. Miles Pruitt - Hope College View Entire Review
My experience abroad was extremely worthwhile. Being able to learn, intern, and travel throughout Ireland through the IES Abroad Dublin program I gained a better understanding of the world around me. I have broadened my horizons and found myself to be more outgoing and excited to travel the world and experience more of it. A student - University of Iowa View Entire Review
I learned a lot about myself, became more comfortable with myself, and gained a lot more confidence. Studying abroad gave me the opportunity to be away from my family and really understand what it means to take care of myself and be responsible. I also traveled by myself for the first time without family, not only travelling to ... Monica Chen - Anonymous University View Entire Review
My academic interests were reinforced and shaped along the way which has influenced how I'm thinking about my career path now. Even though I know the world's greater than me, being in Dublin and having conversations with people really made that idea stick. It felt as though I was in a box before. The lid was open on this box I w... Iyana - University of Redlands View Entire Review
In Dublin I gained incredible professional experience at my internship, and I made great friendships and connections with both Irish citizens and international visitors alike. Dublin is an incredibly diverse city that introduced me to the Irish culture and gave me a sense of independence while living there on my own, more or les... Christena Carollo - University of Florida View Entire Review
I learned so much not only about myself, but also so much about Ireland's beautiful culture and history. I also got to meet and gain perspectives from people from all over the United States. The landscapes are breathtaking and really opened my eyes to all the beauty this world has to offer! Chelsea - Indiana University - Bloomington View Entire Review
I learned to be self-sufficient and to be comfortable making my own decisions. I learned that every culture is different, but that it's very easy to find your home even in a foreign city. Catherine Edwards - George Washington University View Entire Review
