My Experience Abroad:
The structure of modules at Trinity allowed me to exercise my research and writing skills as nearly all of my evaluation was essay-based. My coursework did not directly relate to my major at Penn but allowed me to engage academically with Irish culture. I found this to be extremely valuable because the subjects I studied in the classroom provided context for my new environment outside of it.
Other Highlights:
-
Being an active member of the running club at Trinity
-
Living and socializing with Irish students
-
Traveling throughout Ireland and to 6 other European countries between weekend trips and a month-long post-finals backpacking trip
-
Studying Irish language, literature, and culture
-
Countless nights in Dublin, at pubs with friends listening to live Irish music
