After months of planning and anticipating the Fall 2015 Students have begun to arrive!!

Orientation is well under-way. The students are learning all the essentials for living in Ireland and making the most out of their time here. Excitement about new classes, activities and travel is brewing, and the energy off the students (despite the jet-lag!) is contagious!

No wonder, there is so much to look forward to this semester. We have put together a truly exciting programme of co-curricular activities for the students - and I can’t wait to attend them too. I'm really looking forward to the Belfast Weekend, which is always a huge highlight, as well as my first visit to the stunning Aran Islands. The event that’s getting everyone excited is the trek to the Game of Thrones filming locations, although I'm more looking forward to the Cork and Dublin Food Trails.

It’s not just the co-curricular activities to look forward to; there are plenty other things to keep these students entertained this Fall. The Dublin Theatre Festival is currently running, we have Culture Night on Friday September 18th, as well as the Cork Jazz Fest and the Dublin City Marathon in October! 

So much to do and see, if only you could do it all - You can give it a shot anyway!
