Matt Mazza- Dublin, Ireland
The opportunity to study at a world-renowned university like Trinity College Dublin ultimately made the decision an easy one. Looking back, I truly couldn’t recommend the TCD exchange program enough. Dublin is an incredible city filled with friendly people, amazing food, and a welcoming atmosphere.

Say yes early and often. My first two weeks I knew nobody and it was freezing, but I’d put my thermals on and get on the bus anyway.

Take your time and explore the places and activities that make living abroad feel like your new home.
Dor Peretz – Edinburgh, UK
I’m happy to help out with questions about the spots that are worth checking out, nearby trips to go on, student organizations, registration/courses, housing, and what you can expect from the study abroad experience overall (or anything else that might be on your mind).
Kaitlyn Smith – Edinburgh, United Kingdom
The more you explore and say “yes” to any events thrown your way, the more meaningful and memorable your study abroad experience will be.

I had the opportunity to live in London for a year and learned so much about the city. I am happy to share my experiences and any information that may be helpful to you!

Studying abroad is a great opportunity to develop independence. Learning how to navigate public transportation, plan international travel and adapt to life in a new city or travel destination helped me become more confident and independent. The more willing you are to explore, be flexible and embrace the unexpected, the more meaningful your study abroad experience will be.
Remi Matza – London, United Kingdom
Apart from the actual classes you take abroad, you will learn so much outside of the classroom if you step outside your comfort zone. Take advantage of the opportunity to travel on the weekends whenever you can, explore places you never thought you’d reach, and try new foods you never thought you’d taste (i.e. haggis in Edinburgh!)
Sydney Reza- London, United Kingdom
My biggest piece of advice for studying abroad is going in with an open mind!
