Abroad in Ireland and learning English as a different language Past Review

By (Architectural Engineering Technology, University of Hartford) for

Arcadia: Belfast - Queens University Belfast

What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
Everything was great, the weekend trip was a bit rushed, but I was living with some kids from the Butler program and they got to do some crazy stuff like bungy-jumping. It would have been cool if they set up flights to and from Ireland for us.

Finances

Do you have any general money-saving tips for future study abroad participants? DON'T TRY TO KEEP UP WITH THE LOCALS. YOU WILL RUN OUT OF MONEY! That exchange rate will come back to haunt you so make sure you know roughly how much you're REALLY spending.
