I absolutely loved my time in Dublin this summer! Last fall when I applied, I knew nothing about Connect-123, and, as someone with various, perhaps even unrelated career interests, I was shocked when the program was able to find the perfect internship fit for me. In addition, my supervisor consistently made me feel supported and welcomed through frequent messages and check-ins throughout my time working, which was particularly helpful towards the beginning when I was given internship tasks that were a bit shocking to me. Beyond work, however, Connect-123 gave me and my fellow students the opportunity to take weekend trips around Ireland, which helped not only my learning but also my personal and professional growth. I truly have nothing bad to say about the program! I loved living on campus. There were a few times when I wished it was a bit closer to Dublin's city center, however, the overall experience was wonderful and I greatly enjoyed having my own room and bathroom.
