Carmarthen is an ancient stronghold dating back to the days of the Roman Empire and is the legendary home of Merlin. The atmosphere resembles that of a small liberal arts college in the United States. The orientation program is four days in length. Since students will be directly enrolled at Trinity College, they will be housed in residence hall rooms. The rooms may be singles or doubles, and Central College Abroad participants are scattered to make interaction with British students easier.
Students are responsible for providing their own meals.
Access to the University food service and local restaurants is readily available. The Central College Abroad program at Carmarthen provides opportunities for students to take excursions throughout Wales. Through the unique Outdoor Pursuits class, participants will be able to go kayaking, rock climbing, and repelling. The class takes field trips to sites such as the mountain region of Snowdonia, the sea cliffs off Gower Peninsula, and Brecon Brecons, where wild horses run free. Optional trips to Russia, France, and Morocco are offered.
