Go abroad, it is so much fun

I went to Trinity College Dublin in Dublin Ireland. I had a lot fun, the culture does not tend to be too different from the US so it won't make you extremely homesick. It is different though and really great. Trinity was not great for academics for me just because a lot of the work was learning on your own and I do not like doing that. I love class discussions. Learning on your own is what a lot of European programs do though. Trinity is also very old fashioned with registration. I loved the city of Dublin and would love to live their in the future. I also got to go to so many countries while abroad, my favorite was either Amsterdam or Berlin. Both are incredibly unique and diverse in how they live. The people I went with were lovely and I made some great connections. The trips provided by IFSA Butler were a lot of fun and educational. I learned a lot about the country of Ireland in my five months but also about myself and what i want and need in the future. Going abroad is an amazing experience and even if you do not study abroad I would recommend going on trips to other countries! The program I went through was phenomenal and all the people that worked there were so personable and helpful.
