Moving abroad for your exchange can lead to culture shock, which can be described as the feeling of disorientation experienced by someone when they are suddenly subjected to an unfamiliar culture, way of life, or set of attitudes. Ireland is a wonderful study destination. If you would like to study abroad in Ireland, it will be a very rewarding semester. Here are some tips for international students studying in UCD that you may find useful before you pack your bags.
Hey guys and welcome back to our blog!
Today’s post is all about free things to do in Dublin (when you’re not busy flying to everywhere else in Europe and making use of those Ryanair discounts!)
There is plenty to see and do in the city – and even just outside Dublin as we venture into Wicklow – but we know you’ve probably heard of the touristy spots by now (The Guinness Storehouse, The Viking Splash, Kilmainham Gaol, Trinity College and so on). So we’ve come up with three weekend ideas to tick off your Dublin exchange student bucket list, that you may not have discovered just yet!
Let’s face it. Who would not want to travel halfway across the world to go on an Erasmus? Studying abroad is a great opportunity for any college student to experience. Figuring out what university and country that you want to study in, takes a good bit of thought and time. That is why I am going to tell you all about why you should pick Australia for your Erasmus.
Travelling is one of those activities that can be done in so many different ways – from relaxing, to adventuring through mountains and jungles, to enjoying the gastronomy of places, to admiring the art. There are many types of holidays that suit everybody’s tastes and this is why it is probably one of the most popular activities and hobbies. Travelling also opens our minds, making us more aware of what is happening outside our comfort zone. We learn how to communicate with other people, how to learn, how to find our way around and how to take care of ourselves in general.
Living away from home and also in a foreign country is an unforgettable experience that most students want to live. If you have any doubts about which destination is the best for your next school year, here you will find pros and cons about Dublin based on my personal experience that may be of great help to you.
Every year, thousands of students from all over the world flock to UCD for their Exchange Programme. In this piece, I hope to break down the various methods of travelling around Dublin, to make it easy for newcomers to embrace all that Ireland's capital has to offer!
