"The program was online due to the pandemic, but it was 100% worthwhile. I went from knowing no Bosnian at the beginning of the summer to scoring an Advanced Mid (C1) speaking proficiency in two months. Then during the fall semester, when I did the program again, I was reading novels, watching movies without subtitles, and analyz..."

"It's very internationally oriented and its students come from all around the world, which, to me, is an absolute PLUS! "
Bartholomew New York University
"I learned to check if a university is for-profit. "
Jenna M New York University
"Got to travel to sooo many amazingly beautiful and interesting places that I probably never would have been able to find or experience on my own. Truly unforgettable!"

Annie New York University
"I learned primarily about Ireland and Irish history and literature. I also learned about living abroad and traveling. It was so worthwhile. I cannot express it enough how much I learned and how thankful I am for it."
Anastasia Barkow New York University
"Having done other summer semesters outside my current university, Summer in Dublin gave me the most value. Dublin was the most meaningful abroad experience I have had; I got more out of six weeks in Dublin than four months in London. I gained a new understanding of my family heritage and new interests in Irish literature and arc..."
Victoria Provost New York University
"I gained a ton of confidence! I became an intrepid adventurer. My work was highly respected by my Trinity professor, I explored the city for my thesis research with a sense of joy and purpose. I didn’t know anyone and found five great friends who I have seen several times since. NYU Dublin truly changed my life! "
Joanne Sutton-Smith New York University
"It's not worth it."
Student New York University
"The internship was definitely worthwhile. Working in a less structured setting taught me how to keep myself on track. I also improved tremendously at communicating with my bosses. My bosses put in a substantial amount of effort in making sure that I also benefitted from this experience, and I gained experience relevant to my maj..."

" I came to Peru hoping to understand how herbs and nutritional remedies can be used to treat illness, as I have had a growing distaste of western medicinal philosophy–I left having witnessed that illness can be severely impacted using natural remedies!"

Jacki New York University
"This program really provided us with the opportunity to not only learn about but experience all of Ireland. I was able to learn about the culture and history in class and then go out and participate in that culture. On top of being educational, the program was also incredibly fun and adventurous. It really fostered a sense of co..."
Melanie Perkins New York University
"I learned so much more about Ireland than I ever could have dreamed of in a classroom in New York. Being in the country gave so much more weight to what I've been studying as an Irish Studies minor. But even the friends I made there (and they're going to be life-long ones) who aren't Irish minors had an incredible experience tha..."
Hannah New York University
"I learned a lot about the immediate, real-life effects that the tumultuous and rich history of Ireland has had on it's people. I also learned so much about the day-to-day life and culture of Ireland by just being there, which are not necessarily things that you can understand as deeply in a classroom. "
Mae Roney New York University
"It was just an excellent environement. Great language pledge, totally worthwhile"
A student New York University
"I learned so much about myself as a student and traveler throughout the six weeks. It was worthwhile in a way I could've hardly anticipated going into it, considering the fact that I came away from the program with a comprehensive knowledge about a culture and history I had previously known very little about. I also came away wi..."
Julia Lennon New York University
"I realized how important it is to never stay in my comfort zone. Happiness can be anywhere and therefore I should never settle. Living abroad, traveling and doing what I love makes me very satisfied with my life and Colombia has been part of my path of happiness! "
A student New York University
"I learned to be self sufficient and smart with my money. Being alone with other students in a foreign country forces you to be mature about what you spend your time doing."
Omar New York University
"new intercultural skills"
Jenny S New York University
"It was incredibly worthwhile. I didn't have time to spend an entire semester abroad, but the opportunity to spend six weeks in Dublin more than made up for that. I gained a better understanding of Irish Culture, Politics and Sociology, and I had the opportunity to meet and talk to a number of local citizens about what I had been..."
Mary C New York University
"This program changed my life in the best way imaginable. My time here fostered a deep love for Irish culture and history that I still pursue, and I met people who became some of my dearest friends. The weekend excursions were perfect beyond words; not only did the administration take us to some of the most beautiful and historic..."

"It was great."
Christopher A New York University
"I learned a sense of independence and that my skills extended past my chosen major"
Emily C New York University
"My experience was a bit different from most of the students, as I went to Dublin as an assistant director of the program. It was my first time in Ireland, and I worked on my Masters thesis while the students took classes. However, I did all the same cultural outings and weekend trips as all the students. The trip was 100% wort..."
