I gained a better sense of independence and I learned to take care of myself and say yes to more opportunities.

It was completely worthwhile. I learned so, so much from studying abroad---both inside and outside the classroom.

About the main aspects of daily living for Irish locals. Yes! Connor Helgeson - Augsburg College View Entire Review
I learned about Irish history, culture, and landscape. I would not have been able to achieve the depth of my understanding without being there, seeing the historic and modern places, talking to other travelers, and talking with locals.
