YES! I gained so much from this experience. It taught me all about my heritage and how differently people live in Ireland. I liked it better than the U.S

The workload was very fair for the 3 week summer course I took there. I had three different teachers and I loved each one of them. They were all willing to help in any way possible. |

* Host Country Program Administration
On-site administration of your program |
They were very accessible. They had an office on campus where if you had any questions they were happy to help. The program size was perfect! There weren't too many people but I met 9 of the best people ever. |
