I love to travel! This has made me less afraid of doing it alone; I now have a grasp of how 'things work' elsewhere and it has made me more confident to explore other places. I love having the stories to tell family and friends; your experience is so unique and unlike what anyone else may be doing. As far as the educational apse...

My study abroad experience was amazing. I think that everyone that has the opportunity to go abroad definitely should. I became a lot more confident and independent. In the aspect of cultural awareness it was really cool to talk about the differences between your home country and your country abroad, but how similar they actuall...

Rich experience overall with Irish culture and environment, and valuable exposure to European ecology David H - Kenyon College View Entire Review
I learned how to meet new people in a place where I knew absolutely no one, and that is something I know I will live with for the rest of my life. I taught myself how to get around foreign countries armed with only a map, and I learned a lot about myself in the meantime. Christie D - SUNY Purchase View Entire Review
I gained so much from studying abroad. For example, I know more about who I am as a person and of my abilities. Sarah H - Presbyterian College View Entire Review
It was undoubtedly worthwhile. I learned more about international issues and am aware of problems outside of the U.S. I found out more about myself and who I want to be as I get older. I am already looking forward to the next time I can visit Cork, Ireland. A student View Entire Review
Going to Ireland made me realize I'm an adaptable person. I don't need much stuff to survive. I figured out what really is important to me, and what I want to do with my life. Got the travel bug and can't wait to see more of Europe. Ruby H - University of Northern Iowa View Entire Review
If I had to do it all over again, I would not study abroad for an entire year. That being said, if I had to study abroad again, I would chose the same program, because as an academic experience, it was defintely worthwhile. If you want to study abroad for reasons other than to be challenged academically, I would not recommend ... Nicole A - Oklahoma State University - Stillwater View Entire Review
Yes, by far! Ellen F - University of Mary Washington View Entire Review
I thoroughly enjoyed and valued the classes that I took in the Computer Science and Electrical Engineering departments. I learned a lot. Michael W - Presbyterian College View Entire Review
It definitely helped me mature further as an independent individual, and both the social and educational aspects proved rewarding. Although I have lived overseas before, this experience furthered my understanding of the American identity, language identity, and many aspects of Irish life. Ed M - Seton Hall University View Entire Review
A new understanding of other cultures and a new appreciation for what I have. It's amazing how little we think about the rest of the world outside of the US, I've come to really learn what having a global perspective means. I'm now looking to further my travels to other parts of the world and hope to work overseas someday. Katie W - Drake University View Entire Review

Nothing Forces You To Accept And Solidify Yourself Quite Like Leaving Your Mould Behind.
Definitely. I feel more comfortable in my own skin than I ever have before. Rosemary B - Barnard College View Entire Review
Definitely worthwhile. Andrea M - Wells College View Entire Review
This trip was definitley life changing. It opened up my eyes to new cultures and different lifestyles. I got to travel to Madrid, Paris, and London and now I want to travel to as many places as I can. This experience was so rewarding and I can't imagine my life having not studied abroad. Katie S - SUNY Purchase View Entire Review
I'm happy I spent some time out of New York City/the US - I appreciate being here more now. Megan S - Barnard College View Entire Review
My experience and what I learned are not able to be expressed in words. Living in another country changes who you are, it changes your opinion of everything. I feel more confident, more at ease with different surroundings, I also feel more opinionated and frustrated with people's ignorance of other cultures. Everyone should stud...

About
University College Cork extends a warm welcome to visiting students from the United States, Canada and other non-EU countries. Those of you who do decide to come will be some distance from home; we will do our best to ensure that your stay with us will be academically rewarding and socially enjoyable. We have over 2400 international students studying at the University during a typical academic year. They come from a wide variety of backgrounds and cultures and do much to enhance and enrich life at the University. UCC has taken a number of steps to ensure that visiting students coming here receive all the necessary attention and assistance they need. The International Education Office is responsible for the overall co-ordination of the many programmes in which we are partners and can assist with the various practical and personal matters which arise for any student settling into a new environment in an unfamiliar country. A number of special orientation programmes have been organised for incoming visiting students. We would like to take this opportunity to urge strongly your attendance at the appropriate orientation programme. It will allow us to provide you with a detailed introduction to the University and student life here, while giving you a little time to look around and familiarise yourself with Cork and with Irish life and culture before starting your studies. The historical links between Ireland and North America always been strong and it is a particular pleasure to welcome American and Canadian students travelling in the other direction, as it were, from that traditionally taken by Irish emigrants. We are confident that your stay with us will be a fruitful one and that you will leave Ireland with fond memories of your time spent in University College Cork.
