Student Quotes
"I cannot recommend the NYU in Dublin experience enough. The program is run by people who are passionate and knowledgeable about the Irish cultural experience. The group's directors made excellent choices regarding the places that the group traveled to. We saw both the urban and rural sides of the country and got a good sense of Ireland's natural beauty. The classes were interesting and taught by professor's who genuinely cared about the material. On top of all that, the program attracted a great group of fun-loving people." ~ Keith, Boston College
"The summer in Dublin was the highlight of my academic career. The faculty does an outstanding job of showing you places in Ireland that tourists would never find, while educating you about them as you travel. You have plenty of opportunities to talk to the locals of counties across the nation, and hike across bogs and mountains even the Irish don't know are there. I made friends on the trip that will last a lifetime and we all agree it was the best summer of our lives." ~ Madeleine, NYU
"Going to NYU I met wonderful people, had fantastic opportunities and learned more than I ever thought I would, but the time I spent in Ireland with the NYU Dublin program was without a doubt the most extraordinary experience of my entire college education. I lived in an amazing city, made great friends, learned about an incredible nation, and visited beautiful places. The experience was life-changing and unforgettable and I would not trade it for anything." ~ Emily, NYU
"Applying to NYU's Summer in Dublin program was one of the best decisions I have ever made. My summer was an invaluable experience that I will never forget. The classes were great, but the best parts of the program were the trips we took to supplement what we were learning inside of the classroom. We could read a Yeats poem in class and then walk down the street to see the original handwritten copy in the library; we could explore the parts of the city Joyce's characters in 'Dubliners' inhabited. The weekend excursions were both powerful bonding experiences and opportunities to see some of the most beautiful sights I've ever experienced. Because we lived at Trinity, in the heart of Dublin, everyone was able to immerse themselves in the culture and truly get to know and explore the city. I gained a wealth of knowledge and experience from my time in Ireland, and I made some of the best friends I've ever had." ~ Claire, NYU
"As a graduate student in the NYU Summer in Dublin program, I was able to find the academic resources and coursework to supplement my field of study alongside an intimate cultural experience that struck an ideal balance of structured and independent exploration. The intimate and comfortable size of the program allowed me appropriate access to faculty and provided a friendly and manageable social network for the six-plus weeks of my stay. The flexibility my fellow postgrads and I were allowed in our choice of housing made all the difference; I was able to save money and find a convenient, safe, and clean place to live in the heart of the city. Well-planned weekend excursions to spectacular locations around the country made my summer all the more memorable, led by faculty whose expertise and eye for the authentic, unique, and adventurous ensure that no one's curiosity goes unmet." ~ Michael, NYU graduate student
