Stories from Abroad
Hear what recent study abroad students are saying about their journeys overseas.
My time in Dublin was probably the best time of my life. I studied music, history, and the Irish language at Maynooth University just outside Dublin. The university was amazing, with wonderful professors, lots of fun social events, and great programs and resources.
