Following orientation and before the start of classes, students participate in a brief homestay with an Irish family. This takes place outside of Dublin to experience family life in another part of the country. Returning students often tell us that the homestay experience was one of the highlights of their time abroad. Students are fully integrated with Irish students in all lectures, seminars, tutorials and practical classes. They will be examined and assessed to the same standards.
Trinity college is Ireland's oldest university.
It celebrated its 400th anniversary in 1992. The College provides plenty of opportunities for students to participate actively in the life of the College. There is plenty to do and see in Ireland's capital city. You can take a walking tour of the city's haunts and recognize places illuminated in Irish literature. The many green, open spaces found throughout the city provide places to step out of the bustle of this modern, cosmopolitan area and relax for a spell in a tranquil, country atmosphere.
