Got to travel to sooo many amazingly beautiful and interesting places that I probably never would have been able to find or experience on my own. Truly unforgettable! Simone St Pierre - New York University View Entire Review
I learned primarily about Ireland and Irish history and literature. I also learned about living abroad and traveling. It was so worthwhile. I cannot express it enough how much I learned and how thankful I am for it. Anastasia Barkow - New York University View Entire Review
I gained a ton of confidence! I became an intrepid adventurer. My work was highly respected by my Trinity professor, I explored the city for my thesis research with a sense of joy and purpose. I didn’t know anyone and found five great friends who I have seen several times since. NYU Dublin truly changed my life! Joanne Sutton-Smith - New York University View Entire Review
I learned so much more about Ireland than I ever could have dreamed of in a classroom in New York. Being in the country gave so much more weight to what I've been studying as an Irish Studies minor. But even the friends I made there (and they're going to be life-long ones) who aren't Irish minors had an incredible experience tha... Hannah - New York University View Entire Review
I learned a lot about the immediate, real-life effects that the tumultuous and rich history of Ireland has had on it's people. I also learned so much about the day-to-day life and culture of Ireland by just being there, which are not necessarily things that you can understand as deeply in a classroom.

Drop everything and go to Trinity College with NYU. It is the most worthwhile experience you could ever have. Jesse H - Emerson College View Entire Review
It was incredibly worthwhile. I didn't have time to spend an entire semester abroad, but the opportunity to spend six weeks in Dublin more than made up for that. I gained a better understanding of Irish Culture, Politics and Sociology, and I had the opportunity to meet and talk to a number of local citizens about what I had been...

This program changed my life in the best way imaginable. My time here fostered a deep love for Irish culture and history that I still pursue, and I met people who became some of my dearest friends. The weekend excursions were perfect beyond words; not only did the administration take us to some of the most beautiful and historic... A student - New York University View Entire Review
I learned a sense of independence and that my skills extended past my chosen major Emily C - New York University View Entire Review
I learned that Ireland is a beautiful country with beautiful people. It was more than worthwhile. I had experiences and saw things that have stayed with me forever. Willy M - New York University View Entire Review
It was like summer camp, but in the most beautiful place in the world. An eye-opening experience that was beyond fun and educational. Flora G - New York University View Entire Review
I got to experience a fantastic side of a beautiful country, made amazing friends, and got a different education than I would have ever had back home. Seamus H - Northwestern University View Entire Review

My summer in Dublin was my first experience in Europe and I loved every single second of it. I was exposed to a different city and a different way of life but still felt at home, safe, and supported through the NYU program. Lauren M - New York University View Entire Review
Annie - New York University View Entire Review
Having done other summer semesters outside my current university, Summer in Dublin gave me the most value. Dublin was the most meaningful abroad experience I have had; I got more out of six weeks in Dublin than four months in London. I gained a new understanding of my family heritage and new interests in Irish literature and arc... Victoria Provost - New York University View Entire Review
This program really provided us with the opportunity to not only learn about but experience all of Ireland. I was able to learn about the culture and history in class and then go out and participate in that culture. On top of being educational, the program was also incredibly fun and adventurous. It really fostered a sense of co... Melanie Perkins - New York University View Entire Review
I learned a lot about Ireland's colonial and post-colonial struggles, and gained a deeper understanding of how colonialism affects the consciousness of a society and shapes its culture. As someone who studies sociology, this insight is extremely useful for a potential thesis. Artemis - CUNY - John Jay College of Criminal Justice View Entire Review
I learned so much about myself as a student and traveler throughout the six weeks. It was worthwhile in a way I could've hardly anticipated going into it, considering the fact that I came away from the program with a comprehensive knowledge about a culture and history I had previously known very little about. I also came away wi... Julia Lennon - New York University View Entire Review
I learned a lot about Ireland's history and how integrated the culture is with the history. I got to interact with locals and see their culture, as well as gain an understanding to the colored past of Ireland Hayley - Northwestern University View Entire Review
After participating in several study abroad programs in both high school and college, I can confidently say that NYU's Summer in Dublin was the best study abroad experience I've ever had. The program served as a great introduction to Ireland and Irish culture for people like me who had never been to Dublin, but never seemed to b... Becky S - The Evergreen State College View Entire Review
It was great. Christopher A - New York University View Entire Review
My experience was a bit different from most of the students, as I went to Dublin as an assistant director of the program. It was my first time in Ireland, and I worked on my Masters thesis while the students took classes. However, I did all the same cultural outings and weekend trips as all the students. The trip was 100% wort... A student - New York University View Entire Review
I learned a lot about Irish culture, regional politics, the Celtic tiger, and the relationship between economy and immigration. A student - New York University View Entire Review
Everything! Culture, people, society. It was 115% worthwhile I wish I could go back RIGHT NOW. Meagan B - Boston University View Entire Review
It was an amazing experience, and I will never forget the people, places, or lovely music! Saige M - New York University View Entire Review
About
Dublin is one of the world’s friendliest, most beautiful and most welcoming cities. Small enough for students to get to know well in six weeks, but large enough to provide an authentic, vibrant, big city experience, Dublin is an ideal place to study abroad. The city’s combination of intimacy and cosmopolitanism is reflected in the ethos of our program, which fosters a friendly and close-knit atmosphere, but also looks beyond the boundaries of the city to give students a taste of everything that Ireland has to offer–from traditional music festivals to the stunning islands of Ireland’s west coast.
Our home base is Trinity College, Ireland’s most prestigious university, located right in the heart of Dublin. Trinity’s famous front gate and stone walls enclose a beautiful, safe, ivy-covered campus, where our students live in individual rooms in dormitory accommodations, which one former student described as “absolutely amazing.”
The immersive experience that the program provides is a key part of NYU in Dublin: rather than experiencing the city as tourists, our students live in the heart of Dublin, getting to know the city and its people as locals. As one of our students put it, “Dublin became a second home to me.” The program is open to both undergraduate and graduate students from NYU or from other universities. Program participants pursue an intensive study of Irish society and culture through courses in sociology, history, literature, Irish language and culture, and creative writing.
