Language broadening, confidence in speaking it, trying out words and phrases and in reading the language. New cultural experiences. Friendship with international fellow students.

I stated and traveled for two weeks after and saw and immersed in rural Ireland! Truly spectacular. I learned about teaching hours and responsibility without included prep hours.

Yes. Enlightening. Best professors I've ever had. I was treated as a professional. Courses were well organized, relaxant, focused & well taught. Schedule was rigorous, yet humane. Trips & excursions were also well organized, relevant & purposeful. Still, it was lots of fun! Carolyn Corcoran - National University of Ireland, Galway View Entire Review
