There is also a lot about Ireland, however, that you probably haven’t heard about. The cities in which students will be studying in are like gigantic college towns. Galway, for one, is distinctly designed to accommodate the students. The city is small, but packed to the brim with things to do. Every night, at all hours of the night, the center square is jam-packed with college students milling about, just having been released from a nearby pub or club.

There are other great places to travel around the country, as well. Cities such as Cork, Dublin, and Kerry are old-fashioned and yet surprisingly modern. Wherever you go in Ireland you feel as though you are at home, and that everyone here welcomes you. There is more history than can be seen even in a full four-month semester, and more culture than can be experienced in a lifetime.

I would definitely recommend studying abroad in Ireland, and if not, I would implore visiting there while abroad in another country.
