When you travel abroad, you never know what to really expect. The cultural differences may not only be frightening but also challenging. When it comes to study abroad, and let’s take Ireland here for an example, you may have even more doubts. You are wondering: “How will I adapt? All in all, I am going to spend here quite a while”. Well, the answer is, that Dublin may just be this place that will allow you to feel like home almost straight away. The atmosphere here is created by students of over 100 nationalites, the trick is not to search for friends from your country, but simple mingle with like-minded friends and enjoy the international atmosphere. Here is when you learn other cultures and languages when meeting your multinational friends in school, park or a pub. The colleges here are different too. Most of them provide you with excellent student support and activities that make you feel welcomed from the first day of your stay. And MD4S also work with those colleges : )
Here’s an example of one of the Dublin colleges which name I will not mention for now. The college combines an excellent education, fantastic location, great facilities and a dynamic social and cultural activities program, and it gives you the opportunity to immerse yourself in all the wonderful things in Ireland has to offer. So what can a typical college in Dublin offer:
