I thought meeting other international students while abroad was rewarding. Not only are you going through the study abroad experience, but you can learn what it's like for student's with other worldly perspectives. I realized that in the US we form sort of a bubble, and UCC opened my eyes to so many other things out there.

I think being able to travel within Ireland and learn more about the Irish culture enriched my overall experience. I was also able to take courses about Irish culture and history, so when I traveled within Ireland I was able to have a greater appreciation for the Irish culture.

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.
