Incredible, Awe-Inspiring Adventure Past Review

By (New York University) - abroad from 06/17/2017 to 07/29/2017 with

New York University: Dublin - NYU Summer in Dublin

What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
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 community within the study abroad group, and I feel confident in saying I made friends that I'll keep for the rest of my life.
