Cork was Amazing!
October 10, 2025by: Katin Kendrena - United StatesProgram: USAC Ireland: Cork - Full CurriculumI absolutely loved my experience in Cork Ireland. The city generally felt very safe, and I feel that Ireland is a great jumping off point to go visit the rest of Europe. Flights and tickets in and out of Dublin to other countries are reasonable, making it easy to take weekend trips!

Go raibh maith agat USAC!
September 01, 2025by: Amelia Mooney - United StatesProgram: USAC Ireland: Cork - Full CurriculumThis Spring I studied abroad in Cork, Ireland - What an amazing experience! I have always wanted to visit Ireland but I never would have imagined that I would have the opportunity to live there for five months! At the beginning the adjustment was hard. I missed my friends and home school, but I knew that this was an important decision for my personal growth. What I loved about this program was that there was just enough support, but it wasn't overbearing. It allowed me to meet new people and experience new things in a facilitated way, that were included in the program. It also inspired me to make my own experiences. I found that after a short time I had my routine living in Cork City - I went to the market, walked to school and the gym, and often went out to different social experiences in the evening. Now that I am home, it almost feels like a dream, but I know it was real! Thank you USAC for this great experience!
My time in cork
March 13, 2025by: Siobhan Ash - United StatesProgram: USAC Ireland: Cork - Full CurriculumI have had the best most life changing time in Cork, Ireland. The people I have met and the things I have done would not been possible without USAC’s study abroad program. I have loved every minute of my program and would recommend anyone considering studying abroad should just go for.
