Dublin helped me broaden my horizons and made such a great influence on my life! Past Review
By Ashley B (International Relations, Lynn University) for
American College Dublin: Irish Language & Culture Program
It was worth it. I had the experience of a lifetime! I would do it again. I had a blast and came home with great stories and friends that I will have forever!

Review Your Program

* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
Workload wasn't bad at all. Depending on your major. Most of my classes were what is called a direct study which means I do it mostly on my own and only visit with the professor a few times. The grade is based off 2 research papers. You don't have to buy books from the bookstores because they are in the library. I had plenty of time to travel and explore the city. |
