The situations where I had to put myself out there and meet new people were the most rewarding. The program hosts a variety of events specifically for international students, so attending those was a great way to meet other people who were studying abroad in Cork. I met other Americans this way along with people from Germany, France, Australia, etc.

The size of Ireland as a country makes for easy travel, making it possible to see a large amount of the country in a short period of time. The people are very kind and fun to talk to. Cork, Ireland also has a nice airport that makes for easy travel to other countries as well, and there is a constant bus going to the Dublin airport as well.

UCC and KU have many similarities. The college is adaptable, though the classes (or "modules") are structured differently and the grading (or "marking") takes much longer.
