I studied abroad in Dublin for a semester in college and it was probably the best 4 months of my life. Part of it was the scary sense of independence of being so far from what was comfortable that made it memorable, but it was Dublin and the amazing friendliness of the Irish people that put it over the top. The Irish are amazing. So friendly, so welcoming, so intelligent, so proud. There is an incredible sense of history going way, way back in Ireland that you don’t find anywhere else, least of all in the States. Go there with a stong liver and a sense of curiosity and you won’t be disappointed!
