You’ve pictured Ireland, right?
Rolling green hills, pubs
everywhere, and rural folk in scratchy wool sweaters. Well
sure, but there’s much more, including two of the most with-it cities in Europe. For the perfect mix of heritage and
hip, Ireland is the place.
Irish students work hard
and play hard, so societies and club sports are big. If
cricket and hurling intimidate, try fencing, windsurfing,
or rugby (men’s and women’s). Societies include game-playing, music, Gaelic language, and Irish folklore—you’ll
find new friends for every interest!
The program at University College Dublin will welcome you
to Ireland’s capital city and its largest university.
Nearly half of Dublin’s population is under 25, and it’s
obvious in the city’s way-hot music scene. You’ll find
everything from traditional Irish folk to jazz to rock.
Dubliners are famously friendly, so even if you don’t run
into Bono, you’ll probably talk to someone who has! If
local history’s your thing, tour Dublin Castle, or go to
City Hall and trace Dublin’s evolution since 1170. At the
university, choose from dozens of departments, including
business, politics, botany, Celtic civilization, and more.
University College Cork is in a busy port city on the
southern coast, an outpost of easy-going style. Corkonians
are considered Ireland’s most talkative folks, so it’s no
sweat getting directions to that trendy club or restaurant!
But Cork City’s urban streets lead out to County Cork,
where plush pastures, forests, and historic castles invite
you to ride horseback, bike, or just walk from town to
town. Make sure you visit Blarney Castle and kiss the
famous stone for luck. You can choose from the university’s
huge array of subjects, and even earn extra credits for
presession courses in September on Irish studies topics
like local ecosystems, literature, or government and
policy.
Limerick Institute of Technology Once you step onto LIT’s campus, you will begin to understand the popular Irish saying Cead Mille Failte (a hundred thousand welcomes). This university institute, located in Ireland’s third largest city, enables you to feel like a fellow Limerickian. The University is home to about 7,000 students, so you will have plenty of interaction with Irish students and other international students in class, at sporting events, or in the dorms.
Enjoy all that downtown Limerick City has to offer – from King John’s Castle on the banks of the River Shannon to the Belltable Arts Centre on O’Connell Street to St. Mary’s Cathedral dating back to the 12th century.
Organized trips with your program will ensure you see even
more of the Emerald Isle.This might be your first trip to
Ireland, but it probably won’t be your last! Cool cities,
great universities, new friends, and the usual attractions
await (and don’t forget to bring back a scratchy wool
sweater!).
