Program Reviews

I chose to spend my Junior year abroad at Trinity College Dublin (2014-15). I found this experience rewarding in many ways. I was able to further my English degree focused on Irish literature from top-rate professor's in the field with weekly lectures, personal sessions with tutors and comprehensive final exams. I also found Trinity's "Global Room" a great resource for anyone transplanted to Dublin from abroad, with helpful tips on topics from immigration registration to phone plans. By living in Rathmines at "Trinity Hall" I was safe and secure, while only a half hour walk from campus. Attending college in the heart of Dublin made every day a new adventure. I found favorite places to study (like the National Library) and coffee shops for the perfect chai lattee ("Beanhive" on Dawson Street). Attending Trinity College Dublin was the best decision in my academic career and I highly suggest anyone interested in learning more about the opportunities of the college reach out and learn how Trinity can help you make life-long memories.

My time at Trinity has been unforgettable. So far this semester I have met people not only from Ireland, but from around the world. The friends I met here will be close to me for the rest of my life. Trinity has, as a school, been a wonderful environment to grow and learn. There are so many societies to join that allow you to meet people from lots of different subjects. Attending debates with the Phil, meeting an exorcist with the Theo, having the chance to go on the Harry Potter Hogwarts Express, and Christmas commons in the Dining hall have all made my time at Trinity absolutely unforgettable. The international society has provided me with the opportunity to have some great craic. Doing my exchange at Trinity College Dublin was one of the best decisions of my academic career. It has given me the chance to join a historical institution with such deep roots. Coming from Canada it is amazing to have the chance to be a part of such a school. This history has allowed me to participate in campus traditions that we don't have at home. I've had a class time Trinity, its been grand. Thank you.

My first is full of branches, you lay on my second when you pray, and my last is a famous drink for Irish people. My whole is an extraordinary place to study. Guess what it is...
Trinity! (Tree-knee-tea). Yes, Trinity College Dublin is a wonderful university. I have been studying there for the Michaelmas semester of 2015, and while writing these lines I realise how I appreciated my experience there, and how I will miss Dublin. Everything was made to allow an outstanding semester. Among the key points: welcoming people, hundreds of student societies, many conferences ran by schools on interesting thema, an opening of the courses onto the world, a college located in a green bower in Dublin, close links with professors, intensive night-life, etc...
And to those who are still sceptical concerning the weather, of course it rains and winds, but never for a long time and it is never cold. It is therefore possible to visit the country. From Cork to Connemara, and from Howth to Belfast, it is not enough of one semester to discover everything, there is indeed so much to see and to learn about Irish culture.
In conclusion I would recommend to everyone a stay in Dublin at Trinity College. A student experience there seems to be always terrific and exciting!

My Erasmus exchange at Trinity College has surely been "the time of my life". Before leaving Belgium I would never have imagined how studying abroad could have impacted my life. I would never regret it and if I had the opportunity, I would do it all over again. The famous quote "time flies" has never been so true for me and those three months went faster than the blink of an eye. I have to admit that this exchange was, of course, one of the most challenging experiences I have never had before but it made me grown. I have now more confidence and can face situations where I would have felt uncomfortable before. Besides this exchange was not only an incredible opportunity to study in a different environment that broadened my perspective on learning but also to meet interesting people, integrate societies and be part of a different culture. I will come back to my home country as a new person with countless memories and a true love for Ireland. My only regret is that I could not stay for the whole year. In a nutshell, I can definitely say that this experience has been "a great craic"!
