This has been my first full week in Dublin and I have to say
that it has been an amazing week. From orientation to classes,
everything has been a blast.
A lot of the staff were very interested in getting to know all the
St. John’s students and gave very warm welcomes. The campus is kind
of small but has a lot to offer to the students, especially the
study abroad students. We have a type of study hall, which the
faculty calls the coffee dock, where students can get free hot
chocolate, tea and coffee. The school also has a huge library
that provides us with all of the books we need for our classes. As
for class itself, it’s very interesting, especially since the
professor encourages the students to participate in class.
The accommodations are better than I initially thought they would
be. The students have a common room with a television, lounge
chairs and a computer. We also have access to a second lounge
area that contains a pool table, a ping pong table and a flat
screen television for the days when the students decide to stay on
campus instead of going into town. This campus and this city have
been more than what I ever anticipated them to be. I have a feeling
that I am most definitely going to have a great experience
here!
