Best Experience Ever

I truly find it hard to put into words the experience I had abroad. I feel like I am a whole new person! I traveled to Ireland knowing no one, and left with lifelong friends. My semester abroad gave me new life skills and memories I will cherish forever. Studying in another country allowed me to learn new things about myself. I learned that I am capable of meeting new people and navigating new places! I immersed myself in a new culture and adapted to it. I gained a newfound confidence, and I wouldn't have found that without stepping outside of my comfort zone and going abroad. I am so thankful for my semester in Ireland and all the blessings that came with it!

I got the opportunity to see The Cliffs of Moher while in Ireland, and it is the most beautiful place I have ever visited.Study abroad brought me so many new friends that I can confidently say I will stay in touch with forever! This is a picture of me and my friend Savannah in Kinsale, Ireland. She is someone who I can now call one of my best friends!

Best month ever.

Being able to go on a study abroad to Cork, Ireland was the best opportunity I could have ever asked for. I met so many amazing people who I will consider friends for life. The courses that I took at University College Cork were so amazing and I learned so much. Both of my professors were extremely passionate about their respective subjects and I felt honored to learn from them and their experiences. USAC did a fantastic job of planning outings for us and everything gave us new perspectives and knowledge on Ireland. Overall, I have never had a heppier 6 weeks. Between the people that I met and the things that I got to learn, I will never forget this trip.

My study abroad experience in Ireland was one filled with lots of adventures, new friends, and learning experiences. While the country may be on the smaller side, there's always something to do or somewhere to go. USAC was incredible in helping students explore Cork's countryside with their built-in day trips and an excellent on-site advisor who knew the ins and outs of the city and surrounding area. My favorite day trip we took from Cork was to Cobh, a neighboring port city with colorful houses and a beautiful Cathedral. From Ireland, I was able to explore so many other countries in Europe, and those were some of the best memories of my life so far. While it may seem scary going to a new country, I found the experiences and lessons I learned were far worth the trials I faced. You'll get to learn about a new country, and while you're at it, you might even learn some things about yourself. Have fun!
