Stately castles and monastic ruins, gently flowing rivers, soft green hills and spectacular cliffs, traditional music, exciting night life, the friendliest people in the world–this is the magic of Ireland! The LSU in Ireland program takes you to live, study, travel, and experience all that is Ireland!

We’ll start the program in Galway where you’ll hear people speaking Irish, smell the peat burning in the fireplaces, and listen to beautiful Irish ballads. We’ll take a trip to the Aran Islands, visit Lynch’s Castle, and explore the exciting theatre scene.

Then we’ll move to historic and beautiful Trinity College right in the heart of Dublin, perhaps Europe’s most exciting and vibrant city. You’ll be no more than a 10-minute walk from nearly every activity the city has to offer. We’ll visit such places as the Parliament, the Book of Kells, Guinness Brewery, Irish Museum of Modern Art, Abbey Theatre, and Kilmainham Jail, where the heroes of the 1916 Easter Rising were put to death.

We’ll take three-day trips to visit such places as Glendalough, Powerscourt, the monastic ruins of Clonmacnois, and picturesque Irish villages and castles. And, we’ll take two separate overnight trips to some of Ireland’s charming historic towns such as Kilkenny, Dingle, Westport, and Belfast. You will truly experience the culture and mystique of Ireland.
