Testimonial

Angela Morris, BIOPS, on exchange in Fall 2015

"As I finish my first official week at Maynooth University in Ireland it dawns on me how quickly I’ve learned to adapt. Absolute strangers just a week ago have now have taken to calling our little group a family. We have stumbled though the confusion of the first week together and learned that the Irish are some of the nicest people you will ever meet! Orientation week was a blast as I got to know the other international students studying here through icebreakers and repeated questions of name, country, and field of study. My first week here I was able to experience the outstanding beauty and culture Ireland has to offer through exploring with friends to events such as Culture Night 2015 in Dublin. With classes starting next week I hope to continue to explore and experience as much as I can while I am here. As they say, carpe diem, seize the day."
