I studied abroad in Dublin, Ireland in Spring 2024 and it was such a beautiful semester. I made lifelong friends from all over the world. I was born in Ireland and had an amazing experience reconnecting with my culture and heritage through festivals, celebrations, and everyday activities. UCD has an abundance of course offerings and clubs to fit the needs of every student abroad. Traveling around Ireland, being surrounded by such greenery, turquoise blue waters, and vibrant nightlife created lasting memories!
🥉 Third Place – $ 50

I studied abroad in Paris in Fall 2023 and it was a dream semester. Meeting new people, discovering Paris gems, artistic collaborations, beautiful views, delicious food, and immersing myself in French culture led to lasting memories. Staying with a host family rapidly progressed my French and gave me a home base while exploring a foreign city. I really enjoyed learning marketing, fashion, French, and history, at the American Business School of Paris and met so many amazing international students. Paris, je t’aime!
Honorable Mention – $25
