It was an honour to study at Trinity College. I will carry this experience proudly. Past Review
By Jessica K (M.Phil. in Theatre and Performance, Trinity College - Dublin) for
Trinity College - Dublin: Dublin - Direct Enrollment & Exchange
This has changed my perspective on interntaional behaviour, art, and culture across the board. I don't regret any of my choices. I feel as though I have lived a very charmed life here. Not without difficulty, not without fun.

Review Your Program
|
* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |

|
* Host Country Program Administration
On-site administration of your program |
Trinity is very disorganized when dealing with international student affairs. It takes far too much effort on the student's end. They need to have a much better system in place. I felt like I was stalking administration to get a few simple questions answered. |
|
* Housing:
How satisfied were you with your living arrangements? |
Trinity Halls is terribly expensive and a bit too far from campus. However, having said that, it was the best decision I made. Most of my friends came from that living arrangement and it was very convenient in that I didn't know where else to live. Living conditions were pretty good, private, and easy. |
| * Food: |
|
|
* Social & Cultural Integration:
How integrated did you feel with the local culture? |
Dublin is brilliant. I love it here. I would consider living here long-term. |

* Health Care:
How well were health issues addressed during the program? |

| If you could do it all over again would you choose the same program? |
Yes
|
Finances
|

(1 = not very easy/$200+ on food & personal expenses/week, 2.5 = $100/week, 5 = very easily/minimal cost) |

A Look Back
| * What do you know now that you wish you knew before going on this program? | Trinity's theatre department is transitioning. If you want to be a theatre MAKER, perhaps wait until they are settled down as The Lir. If you want to be a theorist, it's a perfect program. |
