Study Abroad in Ireland that will never be forgotten Past Review
By Christine Z (Undecided, Front Range Community college) for
Trinity College - Dublin: Dublin - Direct Enrollment & Exchange
Our schools in America never really tought us about other countries maybe except wars that had included us. I learned alot is going on even when its not here, I was lucky enough to see the queen and the protests of the queens visit in Ireland which was an historical event a few can say they witnesed and our president was there for a day. Which was neat to see how important America effects other countries

* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
At the time I really didn't feel like it was educational at all because of everything we had done, but when I finally sat down to write our final essay I remember everyplace had a meaning to Irish Literature, and all the Irish stories our teacher had told us linked back as well. |
