Location
Carlow, just 50 miles from Dublin, is one of the largest inland towns in the country. With its strong industrial base, Carlow makes an ideal choice for the location of an Institute of Technology campus. Located in the island's sunniest region - the sunny southeast, the county is ideally located to explore the Wicklow Mountains, the medieval city of Kilkenny, the Viking settlements which grew into Waterford city and Wexford town, and of course, Dublin, Ireland's exciting capital city. With its rural location, Carlow provides the ideal setting for learning with all the essential services but without major urban distractions. The campus is situated on the banks of the beautiful river Barrow just five minutes walk from the center of town.
Housing
Student housing in apartments is provided adjacent to the campus or in Carlow town center. GlobaLinks Learning Abroad students will be placed in furnished apartments with easy access to the campus as well as educational and recreational facilities. Single or shared rooms are available. All accommodation is self-catering with shared cooking facilities. The great advantage of sharing with other Irish and international students is the opportunity to make life-long friendships.
About GlobaLinks Learning Abroad Programs
GlobaLinks Learning Abroad programs are created with individual student's goals in mind. Our programs are built around a unique Discovery Model which is delivered by our amazing staff, both in the U.S. and overseas. Our Discovery Model provides every student with an individualized experience through discovery in 5 key areas: personal, academic, cultural, social, and professional. Our North American staff counsels each student through the application and enrollment process, and our on-site Resident Coordinators set up a calendar of activities for students related to each area of discovery. These activities are more than just tourist excursions, and include opportunities like networking events, local festivals, gallery openings, and other similar events that you can't find in a travel book.
GlobaLinks Learning Abroad programs include everything you would expect in a study abroad program: guaranteed housing, 24-hour in-country support, an in-country multi-day orientation program, comprehensive pre-departure services, and discovery activities to make the most out of each student's experience. Students of all majors are welcome to apply, and no prior language skill is required even for foreign-speaking destinations as some or all courses are taught in English at each university. Scholarships are available.
