My academic experiences
Quality of courses
KEY:
Fantastic.
Pretty good.
Could've been a bit better.
Disappointing.

Interaction with other international students
Interaction with local students
Course recommendations:
There was no problem with the actual courses per se, but there had been some sort of miscommunication on the part of our home contact and our host contact. The group I was a part of was under the impression that we were going to be taking part in an anthropology/archaeology program, which definitely was not the case. We ended up concentrating solely on history and sociology for most of our time there.

Personal comments:
Maynooth appears to have an excellent program, and I've heard that their anthropology program is equally excellent. I've recently read "The Celtic Tiger: The End of Irish History," which was co-authored by two professors at Maynooth.

There was little choice offered the group i made the trip with. I advise a personal study abroad trip...one in which you are given your own choice of classes.

Make sure you are aware of the courses you are signed up for before you take them. Group trips aren't conducive to individual academic agendas.

Course recommendations:
If you are studying science then you should not go to this university. I think it is better for Music and the Arts. The science professors did not seem very knowledgable and the classes were poorly organized.

The lab classes should be prganized better. The international office at the university also needs improvement. They should be there to help the international students but most of the time dont have a clue about whats going on.

As anthropology students, the courses were not what we had expected, being that they were more sociology oriented. In the future, I would be more adamant about finding more about the program itself and the courses it contains.

I can't see how improvements could be made. The course was a good one, but it just didn't include the field of study that I had been hoping for.
