Leaving for Ireland! The whys and whats

Hello everyone! My name is Tatum Cuttell and I am studying abroad this Summer 2023 and I will be traveling to Dublin, Ireland! I am currently a second year at the University of Iowa studying English and Communications. In my free time, I enjoy reading and hammocking in the sun and hanging out with my friends. I have a passion for learning new things and meeting new people, so I am so excited to embark upon this journey!

Letter to the Anxious Study Abroad Student (Don't Worry, I Was There Too!)

Dear students who are about to study abroad,

Raise your hand if you are terrified of studying abroad. Yeah, me too.

Will I find friends once I get there?

As soon as a preliminary program calendar is available, it will appear below. However, this calendar is subject to change.

Remember that you will not be excused from academic obligations, including final exams or required IES Abroad events, in order to travel independently. You can easily make personal travel plans once on-site!
