Studying in Athlone was a changing life experience

I can not even put into words how the period that I passed in Athlone changed my life. The possibility of living abroad is already a great thing. However, AIT makes everything even better due to all the support from the staff, the very good evironment and the Irish culture. I really didn't have to leave Athlone to feel like I already knew a lot about European culture, and this due to the many europeans that go there to study abroad every year. I could make so many friends from so many different countries, not only irish. Also, one of the greatest factor was the support that the staff gave to us, providing events (such as a brazilian carnival week) and trips around Ireland. Thus we could visit the most important touristic sights and be more comfortable about being far from home. Karl, Mary and all the professors are really gentle and will provide you the best of irish hospitality. AIT made a dream (studying one year abroad) come through the best way and I could not have chosen any other university for that :)
