HousingThe city of Dublin offers a wide range of housing options. To assure that students have housing reserved prior to arrival, GlobaLinks Learning Abroad works with a Dublin-based private rental company that specializes in study abroad student accommodations. They secure and manage the properties while placing students from a variety of study abroad programs together. You may be with other GlobaLinks students or other international students participating in short term study in Dublin.
There are a variety of housing options available including Student Residence, shared houses, or shared apartments across the city. All housing is “self-catered” meaning that you shop for and prepare your own meals. The housing options include wireless Internet connections, basic cable television, and are fully furnished including extra amenities such as a television set and kitchenware. You may choose a single room, shared rooms, different size apartments and different locations. The cost of the housing will vary depending on your individual choice. Some will require an easy commute via bus or tram while others are a short walking distance from the city center, DIT, and Trinity College.

Community Involvement
Getting involved abroad can enable you to meet local students, make a meaningful connection with your campus and community, and enhance your study abroad experience. Your coordinator will connect you with local resources if you wish to volunteer for community projects through your host university. It is important for you to find the right combination of academic, cultural, and leisure activities in order to take full advantage of international learning and cultural immersion.
All students are encouraged to participate in volunteer activities at or near their campus, where permitted under host-country immigration regulations. Service learning is an integral piece of a well-rounded education, and we support students’ efforts to integrate into the local culture through volunteer activities.

Discovery Activities
Planned Excursions & Events
Our in-country resident staff arranges scheduled activities with students throughout the year. Activities are optional and designed to explore the five key areas of discovery: academic, social, personal, cultural, and professional. These are not just visits to tourist attractions. For example, these are activities such as networking opportunities, local festivals, gallery openings, and other similar events that you can’t find in a travel book. These activities will truly enhance your experience.
On-Going Activities
Your exploration of the culture, the academics, the people, and yourself is what will truly enhance your experience. Through the Discovery Model, our in-country staff will provide you with advice and recommendations for other types of activities you can undertake in order achieve your individual goals.
Other Trips and Travel Available
Beyond our included orientation and excursions, you will be able to pre-book a wide variety of day, weekend, and week-long tours at a discounted price through our travel partner, STA Travel. These trips provide the ultimate flexibility for you to travel where you want to go, when you want to go, and with whom you want to go. Most trips have open dates, so you can pre-book the trip(s) that interest you, yet choose your dates later on in your semester. This flexibility also means friends that you make from other countries/programs or even your friends and family who are visiting you abroad can also participate. Learn more>
In addition to the Bridging Cultures Program and these activities, a number of clubs, excursions, and service learning opportunities are available to study abroad students throughout their semester in Greece.
DIT offers GlobaLinks Learning Abroad students the chance to explore Ireland’s unique cultural, social, and natural heritage with excursions throughout Dublin and the surrounding country.
