University College Dublin

Feb 20, 2013

At UCD I had a lot of down time and only had classes 3 days a week. There was only a final exam and a paper due at the end of the semester, which for me was not fun because you never had homework so as a visual/hands on learner I had to work harder to get a good grade. We lived on campus in dorms with other abroad or local students. All of my roommates were from Ireland and I just loved them. I felt pretty safe walking around campus by myself but going into town alone would never happen because even in groups we ran into some bad situations.

What would you improve about this program?
We were able to meet other groups from the API program around Ireland, but we weren't really able to interact with them a lot so it was kind of annoying having to be with everyone because if one person was missing or late we all were.

Kara Conley

Program
API Study Abroad at University College Dublin

Why did you decide to study abroad with API at UCD?

Kara Conley: The people who I met definitely helped make my experience. I met girls who I traveled to other countries with. Not only that, my Irish roommates definitely helped me get an idea of the country and helped me through the semester.

What made this study abroad experience unique and special?

Kara Conley: I decided to go abroad with API because of the exciting excursions that they offered and the fact that I would be living with other students (either locals, US or other exchange students from other programs). I chose UCD because I preferred the classes being offered, l had heard of UCD's prestige, and I felt more comfortable with API's housing options. I also knew I wanted to be in Dublin and I debated between Trinity and UCD; UCD offered more of what I wanted.

How has this experience impacted your future?

Kara Conley: I have been abroad a couple of other times, but not as long and not alone. I left not knowing anyone and it helped me to grow and find myself. My management class definitely helped me realize that I was in the right major. I became more independent and I now feel more comfortable going to the airport and flying to different states alone. As an American student with a limited budget, I now want to travel and explore what the US has to offer to me. I made some great connections and networks for my future endeavors.
