I became more confident in myself, which to me made the experience very worthwhile. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
Made friends from all around the world who I remain in contact with, got a glimpse of European perspectives (i.e. on world issues) and systems (i.e. education and healthcare). I believe it was worthwhile because I learned a lot about myself and other people! A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
Definitely worthwhile! For the few months I was there I made some good friends, and got to explore the city pretty thoroughly. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
Learned to live in a city, but really difficult social culture. Wouldn't do it again. Caroline Walsh-King - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I managed to break my foot almost immediately after arriving, and spent a week in the hospital and several more weeks bedridden. My experience was nothing at all like I expected. I was reliant on other for lots of basic needs (cooking, cleaning, getting to class) and had few opportunities to travel, and had a lot of my outings d...

I don't feel I learned much about myself. I think most people who say that are lying. After you adjust, you feel like you're just living normal life. It's hard to feel comfortable when the locals remind you how much of a Yankee you are. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I gained an international perspective, and a greater humility. I also learned and connected with Irish history. It was definitely worth while! Daniel Gause - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I got to travel around the beautiful country of Ireland, and learning to travel by myself was really rewarding. I have wanted to see Ireland my whole life so this was really a dream come true.

Best takeaway was learning how to make friends with people both at Trinity and also when travelling and staying in hostels. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I learned about various ways of living that were different from my own, met people from all over the world, got the chance to live in a city with new types of food, transportation, and religious practices, and had time to explore other cities and countries as well. The whole experience was definitely worthwhile! A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review

No, the pandemic made it less than international. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
Interesting, but not fulfilling and would not repeat. Didn't learn anything that wasn't in class lectures Evan Killion - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I learned mostly about how to situate myself globally and how to adapt to a different culture, a different sense of humor, and a different mode of conversation, as well as how to manage my time and manage a commute.

I gained a sense of perspective about my home institution, both in terms of it's relative size, and relative rigor. I learned about Irish politics and concerns among Irish university students, about social movements happening in Ireland right now, and what Guiness should actually taste like. I gained a better sense of myself and... A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
