Good Craic Past Review
By Caley T (THEOLOGY AND RELIGIOUS VOCATIONS., Loyola University Chicago) - abroad from 01/03/2014 to 05/24/2014 with
Trinity College - Dublin: Dublin - Direct Enrollment & Exchange
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
I studied at Trinity for the Hilary Term (spring semester) of 2014. I loved this program because the direct enrollment allowed me meet a lot of young Irish people--outside of my American roommates, I spent most of my time with my Irish peers. The IES staff offered us many opportunities to get better acquainted with Irish culture, even giving us an opportunity to see a Gaelic Football match and to play a little hurling.
